4 weeks out - pureed and soft foods - recipes or stick with basics?



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out and am unsure if I should try recipes with allowed foods or just stick with eating each thing on its own? I am nervous about adding spices or other items not listed to create some of those great recipes I've found. What are your thoughts? Any "recipe" suggestions with the foods listed? By the way, my stomach has been pretty grumpy with me for the last several days so unsure if that would make a difference... Thanks! :)

Here is a list of things I am allowed to eat:

soft cooked eggs (cooked with no fat)

shredded/sliced low fat cheese

cottage cheese or ricotta cheese

soft tofu

cream of wheat, cream of rice, oatmeal

fat free refried Beans

pureed broth based Soups

low fat, low sugar fruited yogurt

soft bananas

canned tuna

soft cooked veggies

hummus

sugar free pudding

***************************************

next week I can add:

soft fruits - peeled or canned in juice

Tomato juice

boiled potatoes

unsalted crackers

Pasta cut into small pieces

unsweetened cold cereals

spaghetti sauce

ground veal, chicken, turkey, fish

soft cooked beans/lentils

crustless quiche

Hi I'm 3 weeks out and eating pretty much all of your foods listed. I have tried spices and they have worked out ok.. today I cook small amount of fish and topped it with cottage cheese and garlic salt toasted it on the grill. My tummy is also very sensitive these last few weeks.. it's all a leading curve. Just try new things.. good luck????

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
