Hi
I was done at sunderland too. Diarylee triangles are a life saver. I ordered my pureed food from a company called Wiltshire food, they have a depot in Newcastle and deliver to your door. The meals were about £5 but I was getting about 4 meals out of one. Google them it will take you to there website they do some really good stuff.

Mash, veg and chicken pureed in gravy.
Fish, veg and mash pureed in fish stock.
heinz soups all pureed.
tinned meatballs in gravy, mash and veg pureed.

u will get a sample menu from the hospital and its got a list of high protein foods u need 6 from the list each day. eg a glass of milk is 1 or a low fat yoghurt plus 1oz of fish or chicken but remember blended, plus 2 from the fruit and veg section a day and 2 from the carb list it sounds confusing but when u get ur leaflet it will explain better than I am lol. Sunderland encourage the high protein straight away n its really hard cause its really filling. xx

Theres no way i could have started on puree. Whatever you puree make sure its really runny otherwise you wont get it down. If you are having trouble switch to liquids, soups, milk, ovaltine, juice etc these go down nice and easy. Get some protein drinks in as well. Its good to be prepared for when you come home as your quite sore.
Oh and pureed roast dinner with gravy is nice.
Good luck, keep us updated

I was on liquids for 2 weeks so by the time I went onto Purée I was having just what hubby was having but putting it in the blender, I added milk powder to up the protein too.

Weight watchersnsoupsmare nice puréed, theyre just like thicker soup.

I'm the same as Marie though, I was on liquids for 2 weeks. Only just gone on purées

Cottage cheese perhaps? Thats good for getting your protein in I think thats gonna be my staple at the pureed stage

I hate the stuff!! I'm going to struggle with puree but if I have to eat it I will force myself coz I don't want to be ill xx

 

[safc_chick]

do u like any other cheese? xx

 

[suzie290304]

Make a big batch of stew and puree it and freeze it. I got 8 meals and my sister got a big tub. I had beef this time but got chicken for when that runs out. Tastes lovely pureed and saves on cooking. Yes a bit repetitive but Iv got weight watchers frozen mash and add a bit cheese in it for protein topped with gravy when I want a change. Also soup, custard, semolina and yogurt. X

 

[Raynebubble]

i had scrambled egg made with milk and a bit of grated cheese on pureed stage x

[safc_chick]
