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.

      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.
