What happens if you start puréed diet a day or two early?



Recommended Posts

There are more options than shakes on full liquids. What about Soup? V8?

True but they want 70g of Protein daily. That definitely limits Soups.< /p>

Everyone's program is different but I was on puréed the day I went home from the hospital. I only was on liquids for one day and even then they gave me meds crushed in applesauce while in the hospital. Check with your dr or nut.

I just boiled carrots, celery, onion, zucchini and ginger until mushy. Then I liquified them. I let that cook down to a nice bisque texture. I let it cool some and added unflavored pro turn powder. It tastes amazing and it's got Protein. Thanks for all the suggestions!

You can take what you just cooked (try a crock pot next time) and add nutritional yeast to it. It adds a "cheesy/bready (is "bready" a real word ? :) ) when mixed in. 2 TLBSP add 7-8 gr of Protein for only 40-45 cal.

"Try it--you'll like it!"

It sounds like you got this! BUT: wouldn't hurt to run it by your nutritionist, would it???? :)

Might I recommend "Bone Broth" and "Bone Stock" chicken and turkey flavors at whole foods pack 9-14g of Protein per 8oz. I started purées on a very thinned out yellow squash and/or zucchini blended with twice as much of this broth. I would start there and if you tolerate well you can always add a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder.

Of course sautéed the squash within an inch of its life first;-)

I would be afraid to try it! My nutritionist stressed the importance of following the phases to the letter so that the stomach can properly heal. But it really depends on how the first useful spoonfuls sit in your stomach. Good luck.

      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.
