I was so excited to have scrambled eggs tonight! I am not a huge egg fan, but the thought of eating something that wasn't a liquid was all I needed. I cooked the egg and I took one bite, that was all I needed! I have been so nauseous! I can't even stomach Water at this point. My nutritionist said that my strong aversions towards foods with soft consistencies would be a tough hurdle. Does anyone have any ideas of foods I can eat that isn't yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese or tofu? My husband recommended purée Mac and cheese but I didn't think that would be a good choice.

I welcome all suggestions! :)

What about mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC? I know they aren't very healthy, but my dr said to not worry so much about calories, but rather get your body back to a good point. If you mix in enough gravey they would be very thin. Their mashed potatoes are very smooth as it is, just thick. oatmeal?? I don't like it either, but it's good for you. I was also thinking some Soup from Panera or somewhere that you could blen further to break down and maybe add some chicken broth??

Good luck to you. I will be there soon!!

I've even had a few pieces of chicken too, missed the biscuit n honey but the mash potatoes and gravy make up for it. I do a lot of Beans, baked potatoes, with a piece of laughing cow cheese sprinkled on top melts great, and I only eat as much as I feel like.

Grits? Cream of Wheat? Refried Beans, you can mash them a bit more. Cauliflower can be mashed up. Bananas. Applesauce? You could even bake apples and mush them up. Humus. Just about any beans can be mooshed up.

I loved doing pear sauce. You make it just like applesauce with pears. Add a touch of vanilla and it's sweet without adding sugar! I also made some homemade cream of broccoli Soup. It 'felt' more like real food to me than other stuff.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, that's a good place to start. Like cocoabean mentioned refried Beans. I add TJ's guacamole/hummus to it and some of their salsa. Just had it for dinner.< /p>

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
