Hi! I'm one week out and have the okay to start puréed diet. I am having a really hard time figuring out what to eat/drink, how much and when! Can y'all share any websites or ideas for meal plans? Thanks!

On Facebook there a many groups with recipes. One I follow is Bariatric Recipe Exchange.

I was and still am a huge fan of Soup. I look for ones with 7 grams or more of Protein. Just be careful of the ones with rice, they can hurt early on.

I remember a hugely popular recipe when I was starting was Baked Ricotta. Just take a bowl and spread ricotta on the bottom, nuke it. Then add a layer of spaghetti sauce and then a bit of shaker cheese. Nuke it again and enjoy.

Which surgery did you have?

I pretty much took anything I made for my family and tried to purée it.

Sloppy joes, Salisbury steak, ground chicken with a little fat free gravy,

I would have my Protein and then a healthy carb puréed like carrots, sweet potato, applesauce.

I also had cream of wheat.

What failed for me was egg, egg salad, pretty much anything to do with eggs which I loved before surgery I simply cannot tolerate now.

During the pureed stage you should be having soft foods, be careful of ground meats or any meats even though you can puree them they can be hard to digest. Stick with canned meats, soft fishes, tuna, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs(love eggs eat one very day!). yogurt and of course your Protein Drink. What I have been having now everyday for lunch is 1/2 cup yogurt with a scoop of Protein Powder, delicious! Careful trying to consume veggies at this point as you probably are still trying to fit in all of your protien which at this stage is the most important. FYI: ricotta is not very high in Protein per serving size I would substitute cottage cheese.

@@Djmohr What happened when you tried eggs? Did it make you throw up? I love the idea of eating what everyone else is eating, just puree it. What about sugar content in spaghetti sauce, etc?

eggs actually sit very heavy, make me nauseous and yes I have thrown up from them. Sugar for me is ok unless I eat a lot of it at once. Fat for me is fine as well as long as I don't eat a lot at once.

I can have a few spoonfuls of a dessert but if I do much more than that I will get sick. The good news is I don't like anything overly sweet and most recipes I make I cut the sugar in half or even more.

I had problems with eggs early on, now at 5 months I have no problem with them. I just can not eat more than about one egg. It does sit on my tummy heavy that is why less fills me up faster and I have found that if I eat more than that I am very uncomfortable.

      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.
