puree diet

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and getting ready for the puree stage. what kind of foods do you puree? I've never done this before and not sure about it. any suggestions?

Best place for puree stage ideas is our own Eggface's blog. Most people LOVE her Ricotta Bake during pureed phase. Check it out here:

Thank you very good info.

I pureed whatever I cooked for my family and it was awesome. So nice to have flavor again! I mainly did "meats in sauce." So meatballs with some spaghetti sauce, chicken in curry, chili, things like that.

Thank you sounds good.

Do your post-op instructions have any more information for you?

A few things that some folks use:

• refried beans, pureed
• very moist chicken or turkey, pureed (try baby food!)
• canned chicken or potted ham
• Greek yogurt
• cottage cheese
• scrambled egg, left a bit on the wet side
