I’m 58 and had RNY on 12/20/24. I’ve lost 57 lbs. total and 26 since the surgery. I’m a picky eater and I’m struggling to get the protein and fluid requirements in. Currently in the stage 4 post-op diet and it is not easy. Hoping stage 5 will give me a few more food options.

Thanks! Appreciate the input.

Hello everyone. I am post-op, had my first doctor's visit one month ago and scheduled for my second on 04/19. I am doing my best to read all of the literature provided to me as well as what I can find online. I am struggling with the thought of pureeing food. I just don't think I could bring myself to consume meat, vegetables or eggs that have been pureed. It sounds disgusting! Is this something that is a MUST or can we supplement with protein drinks? All input is appreciated. :0)

Thanks! Appreciate the input.

Thanks again everyone for your feedback. It is appreciated!

I appreciate the suggestions. I'm a bit of a planner so I'm thinking ahead, maybe a little too far ahead as my surgery is a few months away.

Thanks! Those are great suggestions. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Thanks for the input! I dry heave just thinking about pureeing solid foods. I'll make note to ask the NUT if I can skip the pureed stage.
