I had surgery on December 6th..and I'm on pureed foods. Looking forward I'm trying to figure out what types of recipes you all found were appetizing when you get to the soft solids or the solid stage. My dr goes with the South Beach diet but a lot of those recipes don't seem appealing. Suggestions? :)

Glad to see you are out. Did you do out patient or did you stay over night? I am worried just a little because I am doing outpatient and I am not sure what to expect overnight while at home without nurses checking on me.

I was in the hospital for 2 nights...but if you're going home just make sure that you have what you think you will need during the night near you, Water, ice, premeasured pain meds etc I'm sure you'll do fine!!

Only 6 days after the surgery and already on purée stage! You are doing great! I made soups: fish Soup, mushroom soup, you can have egg salad, tuna salad. I also made meatballs. You can have a lot of varieties, just make sure your food has Protein. Let me know which recipe will interest you, I will send to you.

Day six on puréed? I don't begin puréed until 2 weeks.

I'm on Clear liquids day 1-3, full liquids day 3-14, then puréed 2-4 weeks. I have a sample menu of puréed diet given by my nutritionist.

      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.
