Hi folks - I'm a bit unsure about how I'll manage with the puree stage of the post op diet. Basically, the thought of pureed meat or veg makes me feel ill - it's just the texture of pureed food that I really can't stand.

What I'm wondering is whether the puree stage is a 'must-have' (i.e. I have to go through it to train my tummy back into having normal food) or a 'nice to have' (i.e. something that most people want because they're sick of liquids, but which it wouldn't hurt to skip).

When it comes to the full liquid stage - I'm fine with yoghurt and Soups. If I kept having yoghurt and Soup during my puree stage, would that affect my ability to handle solids when the time comes to move onto them?

I didn't puree a single thing in my "pureed" stage. I was allowed scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, and other soft cheeses during that stage. I continued to have some strained cream Soups. And I lived on Shelly's Ricotta Bake too! Recipe here:

Thanks for that - unfortunately for me it's the entire texture I have an issue with, so scrambled eggs, soft cheese etc aren't to my tastes.

But as long as I can stick with Soup and yoghurt, I'll be fine. Bored. But fine.

      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.
