Kimberly, why can you not just puree anything you would eat if you were not on pureed? That is what I intend to do. I am a nurse and have worked with geriatrics for the past 12 years have always served the people with pureed diets the same thing as the regulars. As bad at it sounds, one of the favorites at the last place I was is bologna and cheese with a touch of mustard prueed, I have tasted this and it is not bad!!! I will just experiment! Have fun and be creative! God Bless!

Kim~I am almost 5 weeks post op. I too got sooo sick of the same foods on puree (im now on solids). My favorite things to eat were meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Campbells Soup in Hand (chicken). Peanut Butter, Angel Hair pasta with alfredo sauce. Be creative!!! Anything you would normally eat (other than steak!) just throw in the blender with either water, milk, or mashed potatoes and it tasts yummy! Best of luck to you! I know you will do great!

You can puree anything 2 different ways. In a blender or cut into pencil eraser sized bits and chew to death. Thats what I did. One foods at a time in very small quanties. Now rememnber PENCIL ERASER SIZED BITS!

Seafood! Crab legs, scallops and fish are very very soft and easy to eat.

Italian Beef was a favorite pureed item of mine and is still a favorite meat. Cook it all day long in the crock pot, toss some of the meat and broth in a blender and yum! Here's my "easy" recipe: 3-4 lb. rump roast, 2 cups beef broth or bouillon, 1 envelope Good Seasonings Italian Dressing mix, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. If you like it spicy or once you can tolerate spicy, add a few Jalapeno peppers for extra flavor. You can also add fresh garlic if you wish :) Enjoy! - Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02 -96lbs.
