On "thin purees", next step....



Recommended Posts

I am currently on "thin purees",(cottage cheese, soft tofu,eggs,soft moist fish,beans... Added to broth and blended to a thin purée. Also oatmeal, cream of wheat and grits, also thinned to purée.

After this,I will advance to " thick purees"...I can sort of figure out what this means, but I'd like to hear from anyone with experience as to what foods they added or how they prepared them. Thank you!

Maybe more of a question for your nutritionist but I would imagine it would be things like mashed potato's, refried Beans, yogurt (without thinning with milk), etc.

My thick purees was anything that I could put threw a blender.

I agree w/ Madds. I would think it is just regular food put through the blender. I would double ck w/ your nutritionist if in doubt or if they gave you papers during the preop. I made things like chicken pureed w/ salsa, refried Beans, etc. ground meat w/ a little bit of liquid and in the blender... it doesn't look the most appetizing but it sure tasted good. :)

      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.
