Mushie Food Help!

[jennw 3]

Ok I am almost 3 weeks post op, I had my RNY by pass on 6/13 and I am having a terrible time finding things that dont make me nauseous. Does anyone have any ideas? What does everyone eat at this stage. I had no problem on liquids, infact i could down the Jello, puddings, and liquids no problem but it seems that as soon as there is some kind of consistance i get nauseous. Please let me know what you were eating at this stage considering I have 6 more weeks of this!!

All help will be appreciated!!!

Have your tired mashed potatoes, sweet potoates,or low fat refried pinto Beans?

Maybe egg beaters, oatmeal.< /p>

I would stay away from the potatoes. They are all sugar. Try some things like chili or vegetable Soup an purée it a little. I am two weeks out and my dr told me to start trying thinned oatmeal, eggs (a little undercooked), chillin blended up, yogurt with fruit, half a banana, ff refrained Beans. Pick one and thin it out with slim milk or broth. Then slowly start making a little thicker. That might help with the nausea. I am having a hard time wanting I eat. I have to make myself eat at specific times or I find that I've gone all day and hasn't eaten.

I would also stay away from the potatoes... Am on my 4th wk post op. i tried them twice and got terribly sick and nauseous!

On my past week I could only hold down an 1oz of the carnaion instant Breakfast?!?! And water!

I ate squash... When i craved something salty, i roasted garlic in a bit of olive oil... Then put in the squash ad cooked it... Then pureed. Never had the pureed eggs. Hate eggs. Maybe you can have scrambled eggs...?!?

I'm mt sure if you have a panera bread, but i ate their frenh onion Soup. Its low in calories and delish!

Also yogurt, the light n fit. Those are great!! I would blend that wih some Protein Powder and cottage cheese
