Pureed diet suggestions
I am almost three weeks post-op and at my post-op visit, the doctor told me I could now have pureed to include eggs and cheese. Well, the eggs and cheese didn't go over too well. I am able to tolerate yogurt, oatmeal and cottage cheese. Do you have any other suggestions on what I can eat. I do eat soup and my protein shakes but just wanted some ideas so I can add some variety. Thanks for all your support and suggestions. I truly love this board. It is such a great help.

Here's a list
I found I really liked chili made with ground lean turkey, beans, and then blended. I ate a lot of chili!
Low calorie yogurt (no chunks of fruit)
Strained cream soups or blended chunky soups
Low fat cottage cheese or ricotta (mash with a fork)
Scrambled eggs or Egg Beaters (mash with a fork)
Mashed tofu
Pureed lean beef, chicken, pork, turkey or fish
Mashed beans such as black beans, pinto beans or fat-free re fried beans
