bellabeans 74 Posted September 3, 2016 Had my sleeve 8/31. Came home on puréed foods . My surgeon and nut said I should have 3 oz of food 3 times a day with 8oz of Protein shake in between if I can tolerate it. I have no appetite at all . Yesterday I had a meatball I mushed it and it took me over an hour but I did eat it. Needless to say I didn't get the shake in because I was full. I feel like I want to try Peanut Butter it smells good although it has a lot of Protein it also has a lot of fat. Did anyone have Peanut Butter on puréed ?? Is it bad at this stage .

suzzzzz 1,005 Posted September 3, 2016 I would hold off on peant butter so soon. It is sticky and will cause your stomach to churn a lot to digest it. And, get your Protein in first with the shakes or protein supplemented liquids. You won't be able to reach your goals otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 3, 2016 @@bellabeans A meatball is kind of heavy. Try things like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, ricotta bake, creamed/strained Soups, etc. Your fluids and Protein (shakes) are what's most important right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted September 3, 2016 @@bellabeans My Peanut Butter craving was satisfied by adding a little PB2 to my shakes. You won't be "hungry" for a while but try to keep your meals to 30 mins. We can eat anything if we stretch it out. I had meatloaf on my puréed stage. I put it in my mini chopper and ate it with a little bit of mashed potatoes. I wasn't able to eat more than 1/4 cup overall. If it helps you to stay on a schedule there are tons of examples online. It was the only way I could get my liquid and Protein in during those early days. I set my Fitbit to remind me to eat but there are apps like Baritastic that have timers. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lubean 6 Posted September 3, 2016 It took me 2 hours to drink my shakes. My stage 3 is pureed Protein and they told me it would take 30-45 minutes to eat my food and it does! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
