Anyone struggle with starting puree?

[YummyMummy101 11]

Tried my first go at the purée on Friday, now I'm past the 2 week liquid diet ,and had the worst night if my life! Had such terrible heart burn and cramps and couldn't sleep one wink! All I has was puréed chicken and red kidneys beans... I'm back on liquids coz I'm scared to get a repeat experience.... Does anyone know if I was meant to start on puréed veggies first then work my way up to meat? ?

. My understanding is meat is one of the last things to add. If you google diets or instructions post op for sleeve, there is a ton of info. Good luck. My surgery is in a couple weeks and my surgeons office gave me diet info. I don't have to go all liquid even in the first two weeks. (Nothing beyond consistency of mashed potatoes) but limited items. I think any change is gonna hurt a bit; but I was told to have Prilosec or the generic equivalent called in by doctor on hand.

Thanks. I got a pamphlet as well but not sure it listed specific foods to start with. I may have to dig it out and have another read:)

Didn't your surgeon tell you what you could eat?

I eat

Greek yogurt with PB2 or Protein powder

Sf pudding

Cottage cheese

Ricotta cheese with Protein powder

Cream Soups

I skipped purée. I stayed on liquids during purée stage. My Dr OK'd it. I couldn't visually handle puréed food. The thought grossed me out. So liquids longer than to soft foods

That sounds like my first two week diet. But I have scrambled eggs (with cheese melted if wanted,) too. Creamy Soups, mashed potatoes, etc - actual they said if you can mush it up to mash potato consistency, you can have it; ie peas, etc. Mine doesn't call for all liquids.

Oh I forgot scrambled eggs.

My dr said if you can purée it you can have it. I seriously can't stand the thought of puréed meat so I don't do that.

I got a can of crab meat and added it to cream of shrimp Soup with extra garlic and some chicken broth. It was really good.

Thanks for all the responses. Tried having just mashed potato and gravy and that is going down much better.... I will try the eggs & yoghurt tomorrow

Today makes 3 weeks since I've been sleeved and I'm on puréed foods too...my binder from my surgery center says I'm allowed to have shaved deli meats and I've had 3 ounces or so throughout the day and it's been tolerated really well!

Mine doesn't mention shaved deli meats so that is good to know. I will try those as well. Thanks:) my binder is very general and just says try have Protein with each meal and lists a few random things to try.... Best info I seem to get is when I go and see my dietician

[brittnielynn 10]

My binder is very jammed packed with information. Here's a picture of a piece of what it says for the stage I'm on.

[brittnielynn 10]

Also I swear I drink nonstop all day. It says you can't stretch your pouch from liquids but omg I stay drinking lol I'm not doing as good as I should with my Protein though :/

[YummyMummy101 11]

Oh thanks for that. I will use that as my guide also. Got my post surgery appointment on Thursday so I will also ask if they have a detailed listing like that coz it would definitely be very helpful.... Or I will have to keep asking you for pics of the stages you are on...

Brittnielynn, I was sleeved by Dr Avara on 4/9. How did you do with your liquids in the beginning? I finally got in one whole shake yesterday but still can't get in my Water.< /p>
