What's your favourite purred food



Recommended Posts

Hi Wildorchids, I went slightly ahead of my surgeons guidelines as I was feeling so well and had pretty much anything so long as I chewed it to apple sauce consistency. I'm 4 weeks out now and am officially permitted to do that. I mainly had Weight Watcher ready meals but didn't eat the carb half of the meal, apart from when it came to sausage and mash (yum) I'd have half of the whole meal and save the other half for another day! biggrin.gif

I'm trying to add more veg as I find so much Protein is constipating (I didn't experience the 'never trust a fart' problem), so tinned carrots are the ticket for me right now as they're pretty mushy and only take a few seconds to heat in the microwave.

I haven't gotten too far into the pureed stage yet (had my first soft-boiled egg today). But, here were the suggestions sent by my friend who recently had the sleeve:

Yogurt with no fruit chunks (mix in a little unflavored Protein Powder too. Not too much or the yogurt will get liquidy and weird).

Unsweetened applesauce.

Scrambled egg beaters - this will taste so good to you right now :) No chunks of anything like peppers or onions though :( Egg only. And even mash it up more with your fork before eating it.

Refried Beans, oh yum. Fat free taco bell ones are great (from the store, not actually from taco bell.) Heat them up with a little shredded cheese melted on top.

Cottage cheese.

ANYTHING else you want... as long as it is made into a really soft consistency. You can use a blender or food processor. It sounds yucky but really it's not so bad. You can even do tuna or chicken salad right now... but only if you have processed it to be much more mushy. No chunks of anything.

Thanks for starting this thread because I am technically in the stage but I have been afraid to eat. My Nut just kept saying eat moist protien. She said tuna, salmon, chicken all moistend with gravy or Soup or light mayo. I have had a few bites of scrabled egg beaters, egg whites scrambled, tuna with light mayo, applesauce, and a little turkey on christmas day but I am a bit scared of much more... Cant wait to put a half a bannana in my Protein Shake. Any one know when I can do that?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
