Pureed foods struggle.



Recommended Posts

My diet was advanced to purees 2 weeks post off (first 2 weeks were liquids).

I have been on purees for awhile now and still have until December 4 before they will advance my diet anymore.

Where can I find recipe ideas? I am so sick of Soups (which always end up cold i eat so slowly) and smoothies. I have been eating cottage cheese, ricotta cheese/spaghetti sauce and refried beans/salsa purees with unflavored Protein Powder.

I am finding my mind wandering to other foods because I am so sick of the same foods every single day.

Ideas or other threads with recipes? TIA

Get a usb coffee warmer. It will change your life. I pretty much did Soup, broth, ricotta, hummus and yogurt for those 2 weeks.

Tried refried Beans. Wasn't a fan. Odd because I love Beans.

The little baby bell cheeses are allowed on that stage and were really good for me when I was on that stage.

I'll jump all over canned tuna but canned chicken isn't something I can go near.

How are you with Greek yogurt ? There are so many flavors of that on the market that it'd offer lots of variety.

What if you buy a yeti cup for your Soup? It's supposed to hold temperature for hours! 6-8 hours I think. It's on my list to buy before surgery.

      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.
