Pureed Is Hard!

K I'm 8 days out and I am feeling like I wanna eat more food but I don't wanna eat to harsh food do early. I've been doing refried bean, egg n turkey link chopped, 2 fork full of chicken salad-chewed till no end, chili one time and tummy hurt afterward but it was sooo good I might have ate to much, taco bake with ground turkey (chewed endless) Water, Protein shake(starting to not like), smoothie( too thick now). I need more ideas I'm running out of quick semi purée meals. Any suggestions?? Thank u!

Dont push eating regular food too early, your pouch and body need time to heal. I was on liquid/soft dient for 6 weeks after surgery. My diet consisted of yogurt, cottage cheese, cremey Soups, suger free icepops, tuna ...basically anything soft and mushy/wet. Did your doctor give you guidelins to follow on what and when to eat?

Yep I do but I guess I need a Lil more variety I'm gonna try more Soup in my diet and more fish n chicken. Liquidy of course.

Tried some chicken Soup from chickfila and it was great...broth not noodles. And filled me up. Yay.

Wow - you are doing super well! I couldn't even smell food at that stage without needing a bucket! What about - seafood? Fish etc? Crab legs is pretty much a daily meal for me now.

Dang barebones! It will get better for u don't lose hope. This is hard as it is so any nausea n vomiting makes it worst. We try to use a bottled Water and sip all day on it. Staying hydrated is so important we r struggling with Protein so all foods must contain it. Much luck to u on ur journey!
