Whats some of you guys favorite puree dishes?

I would do refried Beans with a bit of cheese, roasted chicken with watered down gravy also meatloaf (or meatballs) with gravy and a bit of watered down instant potatoes..

Oh and turkey chili :)

Yeah I bought one because I didn't want to use my big food processor for such a tiny amount.

It worked pretty good for how cheap it is, I sometimes had to shake it as I was blending chicken or open and give it a stir... But hey :)

And now my son loves it for his smoothies :D

Sounds good! Now potatoes are carbs and I don't eat them now and some people say you shouldn't on purée, but it was on my approved list and when reintroducing foods I think it's fine for a short while..

Oh it purée is not pretty but it is warm and filling so as I said I'm not to proud to blend meat :)

Funny how things post to help us through. I was at the stage this morning thinking what on earth did I do this? I could have stayed fat and...and then I stopped, because I wasn't fat and happy, I was just fat and struggling to get around.

So I thank you for the post. I was sleeved on the 24th, and have found that several things don't work for me. I love oatmeal, but apparently it doesn't love me after about 30 minutes. So that is 2 TBSP down the toilet. Cream of mushroom Soup - strained! - seems to make the cut. I have had trouble the last couple days getting the Water and anything else down. Too sore, too miserable, etc etc. But my husband is my rock! He doesn't want to eat anything in front of me, and I tell him it is okay, because for one thing nothing looks or sounds good. Except maybe sweet potatoes. Need to try one.

Hang in, Hang on, and we can all get through this together!

Omg I am in love with Peanut Butter now and it does curb my cravings! I need to be careful with it though because I've found myself going back for more and need to stop myself! It's weird how it also provides just enough sweetness because before it didnt taste like that for me.

Warm drinks just seem to really help me. I love my 20 oz. Decaf coffee with 1 scoop of chocolate Protein Powder each morning... it is usually my afternoon snack, too. Tonight I was feeling hungry for something sweet so I made a cup of decaf tea with a little milk and splenda...filled me up and gave me that taste of sweetness that I was craving. It is so strange that I have trouble with cold drinks (which I loved before surgery)..but warm drinks are filling and satisfying.

I can't wait til I can have coffee. I've been drinking tea in the mornings which I would often have pre sleeve but I don't like it as much as I used to.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
