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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
