Starting pureed foods monday...

Any suggestions?  What kind of things did you puree or eat on this stage of the diet?

 I need these same suggestions!  We had our surgery on the same date, but my surgeon wants to see you before you start puree, so I have to wait until I see him Tuesday.  Monday holiday...

Personally, I'm totally looking forward to eating some pureed scrambled egg.

I did see one recipe that I am going to try:

1oz Refried Beans
1 tsp Taco Sauce
1/2  to 3/4 oz Shredded Cheese

Layer in a small glass baking bowl.  Bake at 350 until heated through and cheese is melted.

Makes about a 2oz serving.  Another option is to make a bigger amount and ration it out after cooking.  

Good luck on puree! I know I'm looking forward to it 

I ate LOTS of refried beans from Taco Bell with extra cheese and some times some sour cream. YUM.  Still sounds good sometimes. =)  Don't really have any other suggestions for you, but you might check out eggface's blog.  She has recipes for EVERYTHING from what I understand, and has good ideas for pureed and soft stages.  The website is:

Best of luck on your journey (to both of you!)

I am on mushy foods, I eat a lot of cottage cheese, avocado's, greek yogurt, refried beans, soft scrambled eggs, sf pudding, tuna, anything I can put in a blender turkey chili 

I'm super lucky my doctor said I didn't have to do it.  I had my post check up up and told her the thought of pureed foods makes me sick and she said as long as i cut up all my food very small and chew good then i will be ok.  I had my surgery on 5/3/11 and I am eating just about everything (healthy choices though)  except at work I didn't tell anyone about my surgery and stupid me wanted to "fit in" and tried a very small slice of pizza chewed very good and slow and I paid for it big time and got sick.  So the following day I made chili and habve been eating that everyday or wendy grilled chicken sandwich w/no bread and half a sweet potoatoe.  Good luck!!!!
