In a couple of days I am about to go into my pureed stage post op. Does anyone have any tips on what's the easiest things to have or what to avoid. My dietician said she will call me next week but I'm worried in case I can keep anything down.

I didn't have any problems with purée (mine was purée /mushy) I eat things like refried Beans and ricotta bake, baby food :) just take it slow.

Anything pureed or naturally soft like refried Beans. I had some zuchinni with Pasta sauce last night and it was great! Your surgeon or Nut should give you a list of ideas, but some common ones I see are pureed: tuna salad, hummus, refried Beans, soft scrambled egg, ricotta bake, pureed veggies.

I cooked some carrots, celery, and onions in chicken broth, then puréed it. It looks gross but tastes just like chicken Soup. I didn't even think of eating hummus! I'll have to try that.

I'll be starting my pureed stage in a week and those 3 things were the first thing I've bought in preparation for it. :) I also bought some low fat grated cheese to sprinkle on the refried Beans (more protein!), and I even remembered to get marinara for the ricotta bake. I am soooo looking forward to that ricotta bake!

Thanks, as I am allergic to cheese I have to cut that out of everything. I am fed up of just eating Soups at the moment so my motivation isn't what it should be. Any tips are appreciated

I start my purée phase in 2 days. I wonder why there is no thread for recipes? You would think that there would be tons of recipes here.

I am not 100 percent sure if I am eating more as my nutritionist said that it will take longer for the pureed food to leave your stomach so you won't eat as much. But your body maybe getting used to eating a different type of food so it could be possible I would check with your medical team to be sure.

      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.
