Puree stage - any recommendations?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I spoke to my nutritionist this morning and I am finally on the puree stage 9 days out. I had a very stressful week and am a little embarrassed of the post I made yesterday. I was really sad and dramatic but thank you to everyone for being my support system :)

I do have a question. What were you all eating during the puree stage? As of now, I know I can eat pureed eggs, tuna, chicken, and mashed potatoes. I asked my nutritionist specifically what I should be eating and she said I can eat anything as long as it goes down safely and is very chewable/mashed so it can go down safely.

So... what are you all eating? Are you guys eating regular foods besides chicken and tuna that can go down by mashing it up?

I ate yogurt, cream of wheat, got homemade Soups from the grocery store, applesauce, drank 2 Protein drinks a day (Premier Protein 30gms) SF pudding, at that phase I wasn't really hungry. A little bit goes a long way. I spoiled myself with mashed potato and gravy from KFC. I couldn't deal with mashing things that have texture. I looked at baby food but it is so high in calories, carbs, sugars it's not worth it. Best of luck on your journey!

Just tried tuna. Did not go well. Try Shelly's Ricotta Bake. It's awesome and goes down great.

I'm on pureed food now and I've been eating egg salad, tuna salad, SF pudding with unflavored Protein powder mixed in, and always a Protein shake in the morning (either one of my go-to Syntrax flavors, or a Premier pre-made one). Tonight I tried pureed ground turkey with a wedge of laughing cow cheese and some mustard mixed in. It wasn't half bad.

My fave so far is refried Beans, chicken, cheese and salsa all blended up. Good luck. :)

I am still in purée stage and I have a few things I like. 1. Rotisserie chicken picked off the bone and purred with broth or an enchilada sauce. 2. Turkey meatballs from trader joes, super tasty- little broth to get the texture right but then a dab of sour cream works well with it. 3. Greek whips with 1/2 scoop unflavored Protein Powder, and I have been adding mashed raspberries to it, yummy. 4. Grilled chicken burger puréed with broth.

Just a few things I like right now and am not sick of them yet at 3 weeks of them.

      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.
