Purée All The Things!

A question for all the vets out there. What's the weirdest thing you puréed during the puréed food stage?  

I just made some amazing turkey chilli and I thought, geez, I should make this closer to my surgery date and freeze puréed portions of it!  That got me thinking about all the things that could be puréed...

I never puréed much, I pretty much did full fluids for a month with a few add-ins (cauliflower mash, pinto beans and tuna). 

At my one month class, one lady said she put a piece of pizza in a blender and ate it. Another lady high-fived her. DON'T do that!

Ok, the pizza in the blender made me LOL!  I can't imagine that even tasted good!

Hence the need for an improved psych clearance process.

Yes, wow!  Don't get me wrong, you can't get to over 300lbs without having more than a passing acquaintance with pizza, but seriously, I can't fathom wanting it so badly that you put it in the blender!  How did these people make it through Opti (which I think is more difficult than puréed!)?

I'm sure you would be shocked then at the multitude of things I've heard over the years that people have thrown in a blender (including Big Macs, just to name one) and considered appropriate for the puree stage.

Good question re. making it through Opti - I would guess they didn't.

I had previously made Beef bourginon and pureed it as well as chicken stew.  Looking back it really was a wise thing to do. 

Really great taste just ice cube size.

Beef Bourginon sounds amazing.  I've also been dying to try a cauliflower-leek purée.   

I pureed everything.  I would make pot roast and then puree the meat with some of the broth before I thickened it into gravy for the family and would throw in some of the veggies as well. I made black bean soup, that is always served pureed and ate it daily. I know one person that pureed a Big Mac and another that pureed cookies.  Yeah they were really ready for WLS that they couldn't make it through a few weeks without eating crap.

...and where are they now eh? unbelievable to puree a big mac!

I purchased baby food and ended up throwing it all out...awful stuff.  I lived on refired beans for 2 weeks.....cant even look at them now...lol
