Suggestions: purée stage ????



Recommended Posts

Hi! So I'm excited yet so nervous I'm about to start the purée stage of my program. I received a week by week packet but it is very vague. I know a lot of it is a gamble because everyone is different, but I'm looking for suggestions on things and brands you may have tried during this period. On my list is said yogurt, puréed Soup, scrambled eggs, and cottage cheese. Any advice anyone would like to share would be greatly appreciated!! ????????????

I ate all of those things without any trouble along with applesauce. My puree week went quickly, so I didn't needed to worry about much else. That along with your Protein and liquid requirements should keep you busy lol.

@@Gullies I love refried Beans w/ Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese w/ blended pears, scrambled eggs with a sprinkle of cheese, sliced deli meat, applesauce w/ cinnamon, and my Soups. I still love my Stage 1 soups!

Also, I tried a Pintos & Cheese from Taco Bell the other day and it was AMAZING! Good Protein, too!

The only time I have ever used Ricotta cheese is for my Lasagna.... So pardon my ignorance, but do you heat up the ricotta cheese along with the refried Beans?

Or do you eat it cold like with Cottage cheese?

When I ate pureed chicken, I threw up. I don't suggest chicken.< /p>

I know some people love cottage cheese, and I know it's good Protein, but I'm not a fan. especially cold. However, during the puree stage I found I really enjoyed baked Beans pureed with cottage cheese and a bit of paprika. In fact, it's something I still have now ... although I add in a few extras like garlic and cooked onion. It's really nice not pureed, sometimes with a poached egg on top; or still pureed to work as a dip with low-carb Crispbread or low-carb wraps cut into wedges and dry fried in a pan until crispy, so they end up sort of like big tortilla chips.< /p>

      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.
