OMG! No raw pureed food in the puree stage post op ...



Recommended Posts

How can I be so muddle headed at times ......

My Puree stage, post op instructions clearly stated that I can have Cooked/Steamed fruit only in this phase.

I knew re cooked veggies and cooked/canned Proteins, etc

I have had Raw pureed bananas, paw paw, pears .......

I will now cook my portions, but I am Half way through my puree stage!

Oh dear .......

I will tell this to my dietician.

No adverse reactions, as far as I know ....

No wonder that the surgical team wants me to be supported at home .... well, I forgot to tell this phase to my house-friend.

Off with the fairies ...... at times .....

I wonder why no raw fruits/veggies as long as they are pureed? (and peeled)

My guess is that even puréed raw vegetables would still be too rough/jagged. According to my NUT all of the food phases are based on texture.

@@Inner Surfer Girl,

Yes, true, texture is very important.

Thank you for reminding me, as this is exactly what my dietician told me.

I was mindful of Vegies, but not of Soft fruit.< /p>

I just thought that bananas,some type of pears and pawpaw are naturally soft ..... hence I forgot to cook them.

It is such a new eating habit now, that unless I keep checking my instructions, I sometimes make mistakes .....

Now, I check instructions every day.

Yes, it makes good sense to keep re-reading the instructions .....

Next week I'll be progressing onto soft foods, so more instructions, and more reading :)

Did lot of purees today, and froze most of them. No mistakes this time :)

Can you just use baby food ? Seems easier to just buy the jars

I am also curious to know the answer to this question. I am not there yet but trying to prepare. I'm going in on April 21st. And I liked the idea of baby food during that stage also.

You have to read the labels on baby food very carefully. Some of it has a lot of carbs.

I didn't have a puree phase (just soft food), but it is fairly easy to eat regular, adult soft or puréed food without resorting to baby food.

Think: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans, ricotta bake, etc.

I was told avocado was fine during my puréed foods. If you mush it real good. So I think your prob fine. Unless I'm totally confused and that's for the following stage lol i better double check with my NUT now. Lol

Pawpaw is a type of Papaya. It is larger and less red/orange than papaya.

Very soft fruit, just need to peel it and remove the seeds

I have been wanting to try a pawpaw.

I just had ramps for the first time.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
