I was on purees for four weeks, so I had a lot of experience getting purees to taste good! I wasn't allowed fruit or veggies (or grains of course), only high Protein foods. In addition to the standard refried Beans, cottage cheese, poached eggs, and Greek yogurt, I did a lot of pureed meat -- I would puree it with a flavorful sauce or dressing of some sort, and heat it up in the microwave with some cheese on top. This made it like a little mini-casserole. Mostly I worked with canned/pouched meats, since I was eating so little it didn't make sense to go buy a whole package of fresh chicken breasts or something. Here are some of my favorite combos:

  • Thai spicy tuna with Sriracha sauce and pepper jack cheese
  • Lemon-dill salmon with tartar sauce and swiss cheese
  • Shrimp with remoulade
  • Chicken with low carb BBQ Sauce and cheddar cheese
  • Turkey with peanut sauce and jack cheese
  • Chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese

I also made and loved Eggface's ricotta bake. I made a half recipe and still couldn't finish it within a couple of days though.

--scroll down a little bit for the baked ricotta recipe. She also has some other good ideas there.

pureed tuna or chicken or hardboiled eggs with fat free kraft mayo. A little seasoning and this is really good.

Fat free refried Beans with a little salsa mixed in. Just be cautious with the salsa. And dont get any of the fancy stuff with corn or other harder items in it.

Any kind of Soup ran through the blender.

Grits (instant) 1 packet alone. Or 1/2 packet and 1/4 to 1/3 cup egg beaters

Egg beaters. 1/3 to 1/2 cup. This is currently one of my mainstays for Breakfast. Western or Florentine are my favs. During the pureed stage I lightly cooked them. Meaning I made sure they didnt brown. It leaves them pretty soft. Small bites and they are fairly mushy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
