Hi There,

I'm almost a week post op and entering the pureed phase and was wondering what others out there live on on this phase. So if you have any recipes or even some ideas that you think others will benefit from please feel free to post and lets see how this forum goes.

Thank you all!

refried Beans on baked tortilla chips with some low fat cheddar cheese. I also like chicken Soup blenderized all together. I like to make a cheese roux and add chicken stock and some over cooked vegetables like broccoli or asparagus. my go to when I am on mushies is eggs sunnyside up with some pico de gallo or sririchi. chili. atthis point I bought chili without Beans. man that first bite was heaven. I licked the little bowl. it is important since you have no restriction to really concentrate on the portion sizes. it would be so easy to eat a whole can of chili. but if you don't learn portion size it is very difficult when you are getting your fills. so learn all you can about eating properly. or you will be in mental pain all the time. good luck as you advance your phases.

I kept it simple...my go to's were tuna, egg and chicken salad with light mayo....in a magic bullet it was a perfect consistency and has lots of Protein. I had the same meals as my family I just magic bulleted it to the right mushiness (chicken w/ mashed potatoes and gravy, 93% ground beef made into taco meat, wendy's chili blended w/ sour cream.)

You can puree anything...it doesnt always look appealing but tastes soooo yummy after being on liquids! :D

      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.
