i bought recipes for Weight Loss Surgery Success. There are tons of shakes and smoothies, smooth foods and soft food ideas. You can really puree everything.

I liked the following: canned chicken puréed with seedless mustard, canned tuna puréed with Trader Joes Red Thai Curry Sauce, and Hormel's chili (the kind with no beans) puréed on its own. If you ever need a break from pureeing, I recommend Beechnut baby food over Gerber. Beechnut uses broth and no Water, so I think it tastes a little better.

You can puree anything, for quick meals try thr hormel compleat meals they pure up easily. Refried Beans with ricotta cheese and salsa is good, turkey meatballs with ricotta cheese and a little ketchup or BBQ Sauce or marinara. you couls also use alfredo sauce. chicken with alfredo, turkey with gravy, chicken or eggs or tuna with low fat mayo just about anything.

I invested in one of those magic/ninja bullet things it's strong enough to purses carrots. I try combos and a little crysyal light to add liquid and sweetness. Also found individually frozen blueberry,mango,pineapple and strawberries at hanaford. I add Protein Powder to fruit smoothie once a day

      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.
