3 weeks out tomorrow! /skip pureed

[a_jap21 5]

Tomorrow i will be 3 weeks, is someone else in the same page? Also did someone skip pureed? I have 1 week in pureed already and having been eating much because of this.

I will also be 3 weeks out tomorrow! I'm supposed to start my puréed tomorrow, but I have no desire to do so! I plan on doing soft but to the point I can purée it with my teeth! I've been on full liquids for 3 weeks and I want to chew!!

I skipped pureed entirely. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I'm eating real food cooked thoroughly and that can be well chewed. I take it slow and as soon as I feel full, I stop. Consequently, I'm eating 5 small meals a day. Feel much better for it, too.

What have you tried so far and what does your stomach like best. I am 4 weeks out and eating soft foods but I kind of want some chicken.

Just take it slow on introducing new foods in. Make sure to chew a lot and take a long time to eat. I skipped the purée stage too....but I learned really fast that I needed to slow down my eating. Good luck!

My doctor only has a 3 day purée/soft food stage starting at day 10 , then it's just soft foods until day 45. I just gradually increased the amount if texture in the food I was eating and had no problems.

Just take it slow and add in new foods one at a time.

I got permission to skip puréed from my surgeon's office since I had never had any problems -- no vomiting, no nausea, no complications. Started with super soft food, scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, cream Soups, moist chicken, mashed potatoes. No fresh fruits or veggies, only well-cooked mushy veggies. No bread, crackers or other carbs.

What types of foods do you guys eat in the soft stage? i had bread i know carbs are bad but it went down fine

Same Here... Had none of the common PostOp sleeve irritations nor complications. Was given authorization to ease into soft foods and moist chicken. I soak both chicken and a lil mashed potatoes in broth. GOOD so far!!

I just got put on soft foods today. I've been on soft foods for over a week though :x Im eating a LOT of eggs and tuna fish salad, I had the leg off a Rotisserie chicken the other day. It was phenomenal. Even if I did chew it until it was almost liquid lol I am allowed iceberg lettuce and toast next week, and THAT makes me happy lol Tomorrow I'll probably have an oatmeal w/milk flakes and liquid milk, then some egg salad for lunch (~1/2c.) and Im thinking croc pot BBQ chicken for dinner and a Protein Bar eaten throughout the day.

The first salad I had was heavenly. Easy on my tummy too. Makes me full but not uncomfortable.

Oh how I miss my salads! I doubt I'll ever be able to eat them quite like I used to(red cabbage, spinach, carrots, cauliflower, croutons, light dressing) but even a small basic salad would make me so happy. I had a green bean for the first time last night, and it was soooo delicious I hope my taste buds didn't screw up their taste for the rest of my fave veggies.
