Hello Everyone! I am starting to run low on mushy/pureed food ideas. Tell me you favorites from this stage to help give my diet some variety. THANKS!!

I took a can of beef hash and pureed it. While I don't think I would eat beef hash normally, I loved it at that point. I think it was nice to have something that tasted like real meat and wasn't sweet.0

Campbells has a new soup Tomato Chipotle - I put just a tsp on top of 2oz of ricotta cheese and heat in the microwave for like 30sec...very yummy!0

The http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ blog is a great resource for all phases of the post-op diet. Her ricotta bake (which winds up being sort of like lasagna) is legendary. Tuna salad was my go-to soft food.0

Here's the specific link to her pureed phase favorites: theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html0

if you can get it into a blender you can eat my bariatric director told me today, she said in the beginning she did well with shrimp, crab and scallops - using nonfat yogurt and herbs to flavor, I think I am going to try that tomorrow, sounds kinda odd but yummy at this point

Another endorsement for those ricotta beaks. Also turkey chili. Use diced tomatoes and beans then run an immersion blender through it.

mmm I vote turkey chili too...I do really well with it, I make mine with 1lb turkey, 1 can rotel tomato mild, some fine chopped sweet onion and garlic and one package chili seasoning, let simmer for up to two hours...comes out perfect! I eat 2oz and top with one tsp greek yogurt...my pouch loves it! LOL! And if you break up the ground turkey enough and chew well, no need for the immersion blender.0

My go to was root mash. I tossed a sweet potato, turnip, onion, garlic, and a couple carrots in a crockpot with some spices (I like jerk seasoning). Cooked till soft. Puréed with a little bit of chicken stock. Added a few scoops of unflavored protein powder. You can even make it into soup by adding more stock. I lived off that stuff!!!0

One thing I did for that phase was taking a weight watcher, or lean cuisine frozen dinner and cook according to instructions. Then I would put all the meat and veggies, and a bite of the carb portion, in a food processor. I would add a bit of chicken broth if it needed moisture. This worked pretty good for that stage and I wasn't left with a fridge full of leftovers.0

Everything sounds delicious. Definitely gonna try the turkey chili and root mash. May get brave enough to blend some seafood.0

I really enjoyed pureed chicken with sour cream and guacamole!0

I would put a can of soup in the blender and pulse it a few times. At first I used light chicken noodle. It becomes a thick broth with amazingly more flavor than right out of the can. Four years later I am still blending my soups. Just like it better, all kinds.

Butternut squash is a fantastic base to add almost anything in with it. Mashed sweet potato with just a touch of butter was my go-to, though. I also liked turnip root, hummus cups, and mashed cauliflower (you can do this in a variety of flavors depending on which styles of cream cheese are available to you).0

BBQ sauce was my friend so was spaghetti sauce. Refried beans are easy. Ricotta cheese and Sun dried tomatoes.0
