Puree is disgusting. I basically ate fat free refried Beans during this stage. I also had grits (I live in the south). I sprinkled Unjury over both of them. I moved on to soft foods a week early, but I am NOT telling you to do it. I just could NOT do pureed.< /p>

When I was pre- surgery, I was like "there is no way I'm eating puréed meat, I will never be that hungry"

Well I was! and I broke down and tried puréed chicken with gravy and... Well... It was good and filled me up !!

The things that got me through the puree stage the most were tuna salad, egg salad, and the canned chicken. I have also since found some good canned turkey and ham that are like that. Good Luck.

I ate a lot of baby food. It needed salt, but wasn't undoable. I also had cream of wheat once, and canned tuna. I was not putting meat in a blender, just couldn't do it. I did eat cheese, edamame, boiled peanuts, tofu, pea Soup, low fat cottage cheese, hummus and other soft things.

My nut does not recommend puree because many people dont like it. She suggest that once at that stage chew food until its very fine... try that I think it would be a lot better than the actual puree

Baby food is not easy. I found out very quickly that peas were ok, so was anything like fruit with oatmeal or fruit. Things like turkey with sweet potatoes or chicken with apples was odd tasting and "sweet" which really put me off. Sweet flavored meat was icky to me. So I would heat up some baby food peas or carrots with some salt and have that with low fat cottage cheese or with some canned tuna or pea Soup and could do it. I am SO glad that that phase of the diet plan didn't last very long. It was really over before I knew it. That might have even been harder than straight liquids.< /p>

Ohh see when I bought baby food it was straight chicken nothing else :P It was bad!!

Puréeing your own chicken and gravy looks gross but it really tasted good warm and filling..

meat loaf, mashed potatoes, corn & ketchup. A favorite dish of our house. That was actually tasty puréed together, but since I was a kid I always mixed my plate with this dish.

I would puree up tuna or chicken or egg and add in a little greek yogurt, a little lemon and/or pickle juice and that would do. Take it easy. You have plenty of time to introduce foods. Experiment a little and just do your thing. You can do this.

I avoided grits and really anything too carby, it didn't feel good in my stomach and was just empty calories. I still do, actually.

That was actually what I did. And I did it with fish. I had the low calorie Blackened Tilapia at Luby's Cafeteria. I was about 3-and-a-half weeks out. I could only eat about 1/3 of what they gave me and I chewed it until it was mush.

      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.
