I am meeting with the surgeon Monday.  I am trying to plan ahead for the purée foods due to allergies to seafood. I have checked out eggface, but I am still looking for food that is flavorful and appropriate.  Recipe suggestions appreciated.

My favorite so fas is canned chicken w/light mayo and enough curry to taste.  Use a food processor to make it the right texture for your diet.

I also really like fat free refried beans with cheese and sour cream.

Ricotta cheese is a favorite of mine.  You can add some tomato sauce and cheese and melt until gooey for a lasagna taste, or add a little milk and SF pudding mix for a sweet treat.

You can really puree anything! I pureed lunch meats, chicken thighs (moist meat is better than dry meat like chicken breast). Get creative with flavorings. I pureed chicken curry, and added a little blue cheese to pureed steak.

I puréed chicken and a little gravy. It was delicious! I also ate retried beans and cheese and pudding with protein powder and Greek yogurt.

it makes 3 servings . . . . 6 hard boiled eggs, 1/4 c 4% cottage cheese, mild pepper rings and some juice from them . . . . puree and you have yummy, light egg salad.  i prefer using less of what i like (4% cottage cheese) to get the texture and taste i enjoy.  

i've also been substituting cottage cheese for anything usually calling for mayo.  

homemade, pretend egg drop soup.  bouillon with raw egg stirred into it.

1/2 c fat free refried beans, mild salsa, topped with 1/4 c shredded low fat mexican cheese.  pop in microwave for 1 minute.

health wise cream of chicken soup w/2-3 oz. lump crab meat and a nice sprinkle of old bay seasoning.

I didn't do well with puree stage. I pureed meatballs and gravy and thought I was going to puke. So I went back to eating soups, but creamy soups like potato and cream of chicken. But I pureed and put through a strainer. I ate cream of wheat, sweet potatoes, sugar free puddings and for protein I ate pureed refried beans with melted cheese and Eggface's ricotta cheese bake. By week 3, I was getting in all my protein drinks which helped get in most of my daily protein. Good luck. Christine

It is a short period of time you will be in this phase- no worries. I tended to eat the same thing daily during each phase, and the 6 weeks were over before I knew it. Good luck!
