Pureed Foods...What's good, what's not?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost two weeks out and I will be able to eat pureed next week, starting Tuesday. Any suggestions on pureed foods? Does anyone have a list that that go by? I would greatly appreciate your help! My biggest and only craving I have had are eggs...lol What kinds of cheeses are you guys able to eat? I guess I am just ready to move on to purees...is that bad??

Thanks guys and girls!

I really liked pureed baked Beans. They have lots of Protein and felt comforting. I also pureed tuna with light mayo which I eat a lot of. I tried to puree some meat sauce but it ended up having a very weird consistancey and I did not like the flavor. I was allowed to have eggs if they were soft and small amounts of cheese. I ate a lot of cottage cheese though.

I was on 2 weeks of liquids before the surgery and 3 weeks after so by the time I got to mushies I was like a kid in a candy store. I gained a few pounds, like everyone else, but it went away quickly.

Honestly my dietician said don't buy things just for me, whatever the family has, have that but puree it and thin it out, which in a way is a great idea - You're not going to be spending heaps of something that's only going to last maybe 2 weeks, the one thing I would tell you to avoid eating pureed is chicken, it tastes like chalk lol. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
