Two weeks post op! Pureed ideas? April sleevers



Recommended Posts

I finally turned a corner after the first week of throwing up every 5 seconds. I am almost able to get in my Water and protein! Yeah me! Today I started pureed foods. I had cottage cheese for lunch and a scrambled egg with cheese for dinner. My doc wants me to get 600 calories a day and wants me to eat 3 meals with no Snacks. I'm sort of confused because without snacks I can't get 600 calories? So what was everyone's favorite pureed food at this point? And snack? Oh and Protein? Everything is so sweet it kind of grosses me out...which is weird since I used to love sweets. How are all you other April sleevers doing? Btw...I've lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks! Yeah me!

I've not been able to enjoy anything until retried Beans. Had some today and it was wonderful. Scrambled eggs, which I loved before surgery, are very "meh" after surgery. After surgery I hate the fake sugar taste, so I haven't been able to enjoy light yogurts or SF Popsicles. Strangely, SF Jello is pretty decent.

So, short answer is that I'm going to be eating a lot of retried Beans in the near future.

I tried eggs last night and they were good but then I felt kind of sick after. I just tried refried Beans and my body seems to hate them. I am also grossed out by the fake sugar in all the sugar free stuff I am allowed to have. I guess I'll eat cottage cheese for a while.

I made bean Soup and added extra lean ground turkey blended it all together to make it creamy and so far I love it is delicious....also fat free Greek yogurt has been working great for me......I added the turkey for extra Protein since I'm only eating 4 oz of it once or twice per day that way I can get to my protein intake of 60 to 70 grams per day.

food just doesn't taste the same to me. I tried an egg this morning and it tasted gross. I've had ff refried Beans with a little cheese. Tonight a friend made a cheeseburger casserole for my family. It's just lean ground beef, cheese, light mayo, and sliced Tomato. I used my immersion blender and puréed some for me to try. Yes it looked like cat food but tasted amazing! I've been having trouble getting my Water in. I feel like I'm drinking all the time but I'm still thirsty. I picked up some sugar free lime Jello. I'm going to make some and mix in my unflavored Unjury powder....hopefully it will taste good.

Last night I boiled sweet potato, carrots, and baked chicken. I used chicken thighs, because they are easier to purée. I puréed it all together using a mixer with some low sodium chicken broth. It tasted great. It looked like baby food but, it is what it is. I made more then enough for the next few days.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
