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.

      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.
