Ideas for pureed diet stage?
Re-fried beans, yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, baked ricotta cheese, tuna fish w/ light mayo, pureed imitation crab w/ ****tail sauce, soup, scrambled or soft boiled eggs...
If you can put it in a blender and make it mush, you can eat it as long as it meets your nutritionists guidelines for sugar, fats, etc.
I was only allowed meat, cheese, eggs at that point so I just pureed whatever meat I was making for my family. I found I couldn't and still have a hard time with pork, but ground beef, garlic steak etc sat really well at that time. I also pureed dark chicken meat but it reminded me too much of catfood it was a mind aversion to it not taste.
I just finished with my pureed stage. One thing that worked for me was to boil a chicken breast and then cut and weight it into 1 oz pieces (which is how much protein my surgeon said to eat in each meal). When it was time for a meal I pulled out a piece and shredded/chopped and added different things to add flavor and extra moisture - like a spoonful of marinara sauce, enchilada sauce, light mayo...helped me feel like I was actually getting some variety even though I was eating chicken at least once a day.
