When did you start purée?



Recommended Posts

Not soft, mashed foods, but pureed. I'm wondering when you all started on them. I started on day 8 (yesterday) first just applesauce in addition to my liquids and thinned strained Soups.< /p>

My team has a conservative plan - liquids for four weeks, then purees, and no high carb foods like applesauce -- on purees, we are only allowed high Protein foods. All of our plans are so different!

Strict doctor here, not till day 21 can I begin the pureed phase.

Purees from day 15 for me.

I had 2 weeks on liquids post op, then 2 weeks runny purees, then 2 weeks soft/mushy, then gradual progression onto solids.

I was adding stock and yoghurt or sauce to my savoury purees. They had to roll off the spoon easily.

To Breakfast purees I was adding runny yoghurt and soft fruit like bit of banana or papaya. I was stewing pears at that stage. Plus I was adding Protein powder to all purees, had an unflavoured high Protein Powder.

Still use it in the mornings with my regular yoghurt and grated 1/4 apple, these days.

After 4 weeks of Clear Liquids, weeks 2-4 including Protein Shakes, puree started at week 5, soft foods at week 7, finally start adding regular foods at week 9.

Purees and other soft type Proteins (eggs, yogurt, etc.) in the hospital and beyond for the first month. I ignored the pureed lettuce (ewwww..) they served there.

I hate to ask this. But I'm starting my puree stage this week. Is Peanut Butter a no no? I think i saw someone talking about it a while ago, i don't remember where i saw people chatting about it. Im just asking because it's soft and 8g of Protein for 2tbsp. But the texture is sticky. Im just trying to get the hang of this. Im still learning to make good choices. Haven't eaten any just wondering for the future if anyone has experience. If it's a good option or not

I never tried it during puree stage, or even now.

I was told by my dietician that the purees have to be runny enough to roll off the spoon.

Perhaps if you mixed it with runny yoghurt and blasted it in the NutriBullet, it could possibly work.

However, a good Protein powder added to Chobani yoghurt will give you about 35g for 1/2 cup serve.

I did use Peanut Butter but by adding to shakes. I have since switched to PB2 which is in a powder form but 80% less calories. It still flavors the shakes but better for calorie intake.

      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.
