Foods You Definitely Can't Eat Early On?

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Oh....I freakin' love Peanut Butter. Sometimes I would chase it with a swig of milk. 2 spoons of peanut butter and one drink of milk and I'm full. But I can't buy it because it's too easy for me to eat too much of it. I just recently bought some PB2 and I highly recommend it. It tastes great, has 1/4 the calories and because you have to mix it up it's not so easy to just grab and eat.

I love Peanut Butter too. Often I had that with milk for Breakfast

LouiseC I take it you have tried that.... Lol' date=' sound like something I have contemplated.[/quote']

Oh goodness no! I am someone who follows the advice of my surgeon, my NUT and then listens to my body. However, my surgeon did tell me not to purée a mars bar so I thought it bears repeating.

I have made and eaten the following while on my puréed diet this week:

*Homemade broccoli and cheese Soup

*Homemade White chicken Chili

*Tuna salad (tuna, mayo, and bread/butter pickles)

*Homemade chicken salad (chicken, mayo, red grapes, apples, and green onions)

*Chicken Enchilada with cheese sauce and enchilada sauce

*Low or nonfat Cottage Cheese

*Low or nonfat yogurt

*Weight Control Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal

You can add unflavored Protein to a few of these things and probably not be able to tell the difference. The chicken chili, chicken salad, and enchilada were my favorites although I am very much looking forward to eating soft foods in a couple of days.

They sell single serve packs of natural peanut butter at Walmart. Those things are amazing! Portioned just right!

[Butterthebean 8,146]

I don't really need to know that. I don't need the temptation.

They also sell the individual servings of guacamole....those are good too.

Lol! But you could buy one or two instead of a whole jar! Plus I like to take them when I'm on the go all day. Not such a guacamole fan unless I made it;-)

Everything Butterthebean said..but I will add this..I became lactose intolerant after my surgery..severely lactose intolerant..so that eliminated a lot on the puréed list for me. Cottage cheese was one of my favorite foods..I got very good at making soft meat purees that contained no milk products...also I used soy milk as well..I couldn't tolerant lactose free milk at all. So with that said, if you have explosive diarrhea..it could be the milk causing it. Now that I am 5 months out, I tolerate small amounts of milk and milk products..and I mean a very, very small amount!

Hey Sleeve,

I'd like the recipe for the white chicken chili and the enchiladas. I move to puréed on Thursday, and this is making my mouth Water. :-) Thanks

I am posting the chili recipe below (it was really good), but as for the enchilada, I had my husband go to our local Mexican restaurant and pick one up for me. I just ordered a chicken enchilada with extra enchilada sauce on the side (to help with mixing) and I removed the tortilla before I threw it all in the blender.

White Chicken Chili: 4 cans great northern Beans, 1 lb. chicken, 2 cloves garlic, 1 cup diced onion, 2 t. Oregano, 2 cans lowfat cream of chicken, 3 cups lowfat chicken broth, 1 can diced green chiles,6 oz low fat/fat free sour cream, and 2 cups low fat monterey jack shredded cheese. Cover your skillet with olive oil, add the diced onion, crushed garlic cloves, chicken (I added whole pieces and cut up later, but you can cut up beforehand if you want), and canned chilies. I set the stove top on about 4-5 and covered with a lid and let all of this cook together. I went ahead and got my larger pot ready and added the Beans, cream of chicken, broth, and oregano and let this start heating up on low to medium heat. After about 10-15 minutes (when my chicken was cooked through) I added the skillet ingredients (I cut my chicken up at this time) into the pot so that everything could cook together. I cooked on medium heat for about 30 minutes. At the very end, we added the 6oz of sour cream and the cheese and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes and then it was ready to go. I added about a tsp of sour cream on top of Soup right before I ate it. (I am using this during my pureed stage, but will probably have it again once I move onto solid foods bc of the Protein and the ability to add unflavored Protein powder as well.)

I would love the recipes for:

Homemade broccoli and cheese Soup

*Homemade White chicken Chili

I am getting sleeved on Thursday but am trying to get things in order for all my stages

What should be things you stay away from when puréed start?

I have been eating low fat refried black Beans and Greek yogurt. I am anxious to start eating real food again.

My NUT told me to stay away from any grains, such as oatmeal, until I was on full solids. She states that the grains make your stomach work too hard at digesting and you want your tummy in a resting state so it can heal.
