Purée!

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since surgery and the first day of "solids" (purée) I'm so excited to have something other then soup!! Any helpful hints? Favorite puréed foods? Thank you!! 

 HI! So I started purees on Monday and I absolutely love my canned chicken creation. LOL OK I know it sounds like something horrific from the grade school cafeteria (and it kind of looks like that I guess) but it tastes great. I take a small can of canned chicken in water, drain the water and dump the chicken into my little food chopper. I add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and sprinkle on some dry ranch seasoning. I also had to put a splash of milk to loosen it up a bit. Sorry I don't have measurements but I'm sure you will get close. My pouch has tolerated it well.

 Sounds amazing!! Chicken Ranch salad! Were you able to eat the whole concoction? Thanks for the idea!!

No, I bought the small cans of chicken and split it into two servings. My dietitian wants us to eat a side of fruit or veg with our protein and that's the part I've been having a problem getting in. Because its always "protein first" by the time I get to the veg or fruit I'm too close to what I think is full that I really don't want to take another bite especially if its something like pureed green beans or something equally unappetizing. I probably just have to suck it up for this week, I had to "toughen up" when I first got out of the hospital because all liquids containing protein were completely grossing me out, but I knew I had to drink them and luckily my taste buds chilled out after a couple days. So I probably need to do the same with the pureed fruits and veggies and just grin and bear them and get them into my pouch before I get full. It's only purees for a couple days until I move on to soft foods.

hey. odd ball question. for your puree food does baby food count?

I didn't feed baby food to my babies because it has little to no nutritional content - certainly not for a fully grown adult!!!

Puree real food - you will do so much better with good protein!
