Suggestions for the "Creamy" stage



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I am happy to announce that I move to the creamy stage...any suggestions would be welcomed!

Looking forward to scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt but need other suggestions.

Really tired of the full-liquid stage:(

Post-op day 16 today. I've lost a total of 20lbs since I've started this journey.

Thanks to all!!

By "creamy" do you mean purée?

During purée I would do things like chicken and gravy, turkey meatloaf blended with watery mashed potatoes and gravy. Puréed chili,

Puréed tuna salad,

I'm also in the purée stage but am not cleared for meat, chicken, etc for a few more weeks.

I'm loving the mini lite baby bell cheese, oatmeal with milk and refried Beans. Today for lunch I had a 1/4- 1/2 cup of refried black Beans with a tbsp of sour cream. SO GOOD!!! I heated up a low-carb tortilla but liked the beans and sour cream so much I didn't eat it.

Weird thing... I used to love bananas and had one at Breakfast every day. I tried to eat one today and it was awful! I can only hope my taste buds start to hate pizza and chocolate too! Lol.

Good luck on your diet. I think there are some recipe threads on the post-op site if you enjoy cooking!

Thank you all. I'm not cleared for meat until the day after Christmas however my NUT said a day before wouldn't hurt as long as it was super moist..nothing dry.

Mashed potatoes sounds good with some gravy (not sure what the Protein level would be).

Thank you for the link; MUCH appreciated!

Yeah, my first go with an egg didn't go over to well either. My Dr's instructions were to only eat 1/4th and I'm glad I did because I thought for sure it was going to come right back up.

      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.
