Puréed and soft foods



Recommended Posts

Hi folks. I was sleeved 12/2 and have my first follow up appt tomorrow. I've been on Clear liquids all week and am expecting to be cleared for puréed and soft foods tomorrow. I'm trying to put together a specific list of items to ask about so I know exactly what my allowances and limitations are. Any suggestions? What have you found is a great choice in this stage?

Refried Beans were my favorite on soft foods. With cheese and sour cream :) Also, yogurt, ricotta bake (do a search, you'll find the recipe), cottage cheese, thicker Soups, flaky fish, scrambled/poached egg. I had some mashed potatoes, too, but some avoid them. I tried to stay away from pudding, although many patients eat it.

You'll love getting off liquids, just take it easy and introduce things slowly!

Did they send you home with a list? I'm still on Clear Liquids but drool over my list of purees constantly. LOL

Woot woot a new phase!

Pay attention to your body sometimes the doctor will release you but your body is not ready.

I didn't start puree until 4 weeks out.I stared with poached eggs. Yogurt. Chili. Get creative.

See? I wish all the doctors would say this same thing! I specifically asked about poached eggs, since they're a favorite of mine, and was told no uncooked yolk. ......sigh..... Frustrating. I will probably just cook them a tiny bit more to bring the temp up without cooking though, then mix them with cottage cheese or something.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
