Throw a whole chicken and some seasonings in a crockpot. Add a good amount of broth. Cook all day until falling off the bone tender. Puree and enjoy. After the puree stage this makes perfectly tender and juicy chicken for the soft stage. My hub had RNY and he lived on this.
You can puree anything you like the taste of that is an allowed food. I intend to puree homemade chili and soups in addition to the chicken. I'm sure by the time I have my surgery I will come up with many more things I will want to puree.
I'm looking forward to reading the responses. My surgery is schedule Feb 15th. This part of the stage I'm most nervous about. The thought of pureed anything make me queasy

I was looking at that one, too. However, I'm going to do further research on the newer 4-blade. The 4th blade is for angel hair, and I really like the cover of it for storage. I watched a You Tube video on it yesterday.

I just got the green light for purees /soft foods. Any recipe ideas you guys can suggest?

I have two, the Paderno Spiralizer (spent about $40)...it works great but I rarely use it, feels a tad bit too cumbersome for my needs. My family isn't fond of the spiral veggie "noodles", so I found I wasn't using it as much. I went on the search for something smaller and ended up getting a little handheld one (spent about $10). Conceptually it reminds me of a pencil sharpener. It saves space and I can quickly use it for a small serving at lunch time without having to lug out the Paderno. I use the small one a few times a week! They both work great, although my personal preference is the handheld.
