Hello all!

I'm so freakin excited, I get to start pureed foods Friday! I enjoy cooking and already started planning out what I want to prep and make....I miss MEAT! I'm gonna get my money's worth on my food processor.

Sooooo what are your favorite purees and puree recipes? I've already bookmarked Shelley's ricotta bake and some chicken salad...what else is tasty? Give me your recs! TIA!! ????

I was coming here to post the link to Shelley's Baked Ricotta when I saw the subject of your post, but I see you've already found that site. :P

Sweet potato pear and broccoli. It sounds gross but oh so yummy. Steam until soft and puree.

Two Trader Joe's turkey meatballs (no breadcrumbs!) With a scoop of ricotta and marinara. Delish!

I never did purée any food in a blender or food processor. If you have teeth you should be able to chew your food to a puréed texture.

I didn't purée much, either, but one of my first pureed was chicken chili. I used my immersion blender and it tasted amazing after all the sweet in the liquid phase!!!

I'm currently on purees and loving the baked ricotta, greek yogurt, refried Beans, and Laughing Cow cheese triangles! Just don't forget about the Protein. :) The only thing I've tried on purees that I didn't care for was oatmeal...weird because I loved it before, but I don't need all of those carbs anyway! :)

      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.
