Hey all- I just had my revision to Gastric Sleeve on Tuesday and am on all Clear Liquids. I can go to full liquids next week for 2 weeks then I'll be on Pureeds. I was just wondering in order to prepare do you guys have any good suggestions for soft foods or Pureeds? Thanks a bunch!

I never had to do pureed foods but one of my favorite soft food was a ricotta cheese dish I made.

I took some ricotta added some Tomato sauce and some shredded cheese and microwaved it until the cheese was melted. Then I just stirred it and ate it. Eventually I was able to add some finely diced bell peppers and onions and a little bit of ham and it was awesome.For something more substantial, mix all of the above with some egg. Then take a muffin tin, line a cup with a slice of ham and fill it with that ricotta mixture and bake it until it is set. YUM!

Also, one of my favorites is tuna mixed with avocado and boiled egg with a tiny bit of mayo. Mush it up really well. When you can eat more this is super tasty served on a slice of cucumber or in a hollowed out tomato. You can also make the same salad with chicken instead

This is from my Kaiser SoCal paperwork for Stage 3 - Soft Foods - Days 15 - 30. You can drink all that you had in Phase 1 and 2, plus now you can add the following:


mashed potatoes thinned with light milk alternative

well-cooked yams without skin

steamed or poached fish, moist tuna, ground chicken/turkey

soft veggie burgers

low fat Beans

chicken - shredded and moistened with broth

scrambled egg whites or egg substitute, soft cooked or poached (not fried)

greek yogurt, cottage or ricotta cheese

low-fat or nonfat cheese string cheese

non-fat feta cheese

applesauce (unsweetened)

ripe bananas

soft, canned fruit in juice (pour out juice)

all soft, well-cooked veggies except fibrous ones like celery and asparagus, corn
seasonings - herbs ok

Fave pureed travel food: Underwood deviled chicken. By the way, many of the things on the Kaiser list my NUT and surgeon would not have approved as pureed/mushy foods -- particularly shredded chicken Beans not pureed to mushy level.

My go to foods were mashed potatoes with added Protein powder. Cottage cheese, I would take tuna, low fat mayo and throw it in the food processor and eat it will a couple ritz crackers. Greek yogurt was also a big portion of my diet. I have heard a lot of people say ricotta bake but I cannot eat eggs. Oh and eggs are an excellent Protein source.

      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.
