There are a lot of threads on here for pureed foods. Today is my last day on purees. I ate pureed beef stew, vegetarian chili, regular chili, chicken salad, cheese and broccoli Soup, yogurt...and that was the extent of it. I never got more creative than that because I had soooo much leftovers from the stew and chili I made.

I had lots of Soups and diary, custard yoghurts etc.

I found because I could only get in such a small amount, I wasn't really that phased what it was. It was only 2 weeks for me.

I'm hoping the chili and Soups do it for me. I'm a bit worried about it. Right now, it's a consistency thing. A full bodied Soup full of veggies and meat, I love, but something like cream of broccoli, or broth, I have a hard to stomaching. I'm hoping things like chicken salad in a food processor work for me, but I'm not too excited about going through these two weeks before I get to soft foods.

The thing that keeps me encouraged about the pureed stage as I approach it, is that my nutritionist said that meats like tuna and chicken in pouches don't have to go through a blender or anything. They're already pretty mushy, so just make sure to break up the bigger chunks with a fork and chew them well. I think about tuna every. single. day. It will be the first thing I eat, for sure. I just started full liquids yesterday, so it's still two weeks away for me.

When you guys talk about eating Soups on your pureed stage, did you blend up the Soup? Like, for beef stew, did you just make sure to take small bites and chew them really well, or process it? What about chili? Also, did your stomachs tolerate chili okay? It's not too acidic that early?

My Nut said we had to blend Chili and beef stew. Never had a problem with chili causing to much acid. Hormel makes single serve lunch items that add so e good variety puréed. You will not be able to eat a whole one. Like someone else mention you eat so little during this stage you will open one can if chili and eat on it for days.

I brought Ruth's chicken and tuna salad, no need to put in blender they are already very soft. I could only eat 1/4 cup at a time so it lasted through out the two weeks.

      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.
