Did the doctor's office give you a Protein chart? I went down the list and picked the foods that had the most Protein. Then, I cooked them in preferred ways, and pureed them with milk and greek yogurt. Tip: Pickle juice is a calorie-free to offer flavor and mushability. Also, homemade chicken broth has 6 grams of protein per cup. I used that as well for blending.

I made portions of tuna salad (yep, with greek yogurt and pickle juice! I did add a blended celery)

chicken pureed, had to add minced onion or it would be awful

chopped liver! Yep, you heard it. Nice and creamy, with greek yogurt and minced onions

refried Beans...

chicken zucchini casserole. If you pureed before you bake it, then you don't pureed it after baking, yum.

I love Indian food. There are all kinds of recipes for "chana saag" on google. Here's one of

them, a coconut variation:

If you are afraid the taste will be too strong for where you are right now, just put in half the

spices. Whenever I make one of these recipes, I use spinach that I steam separately. If I

couldn't have solid food, I'd leave out the chick peas (& the oil?) until you think you can

tolerate them.

Then puree it and enjoy!

When we say purée. Do we mean the consistency of mashed potatoe? Because I've been using my cuisinart and adding liquid to get a non dry consistency

I think different doctors have different guidelines about purée thickness. Mine said it should be dripping off the spoon and that if you have to flick it off, it is too thick.

      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.
