Yesterday I started Week 3 and I'm looking for suggestions on semi solid foods you enjoyed and if you got creative while still sticking to the guidelines?

I never thought week 3 would come:) and never thought I'd enjoy purée potatoes and yogurt like it was steak! LOL

hummus, refried Beans - I also used to take whatever I was making for dinner (or whatever meal) and pureed my part of it in the blender (omelet, ricotta bake, spanakopita (made without the phyllo), chili. If you're carb sensitive, I'd be careful with potatoes.

During that time I loved putting a can of enchilada sauce with some black Beans, onions, some spices in a crock pot. Melt some cheese into little chips size and dip them in it.

I make a black bean Soup that I purée! It's super savory and filling! I'd be happy to share the recipe!

I do the ricotta cheese bake, soft white flaky fish (tilapia, flounder), crab cakes, and I have enjoyed the Target Italian meatballs. I heat them on the stove top in a half broth and marinara sauce mix so they are nice and moist.

I am a week and a half post op, but my doctor starts you off on mix of pureed and soft foods that are straight Protein. We are allowed ground meat, white fish, meatballs, cheese, Beans, and the like. All items have to be grilled/baked and moistened with broth or Water. To be discharged from the hospital we had to keep down a few bites of pureed food.

yup...I am loving mine. we did have two weeks of liquid pre-op, but the ability to slowly incorporate food post op has been great. I haven't ventured to chicken yet, but scrambled eggs have sit well. During my one week follow up they mentioned trying chicken thighs highly moistened and shredded/pureed. So that will be my next meat. I am melting inches, but they note it will be 5 to 10 lbs of weight loss per month.

For those of you who would like the black bean Soup recipe:

1 pound dried black Beans or 4 cans of black Beans

1 or 2 green bell peppers (I like poblano)

1 large onion

½ cup olive oil

½ cup white vinegar

1 tbsp cumin (I use more because I love it)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ham hock (or meat seasoning for you non-southerners)

Dice all vegetables. (I buy the pre-diced from the grocery store so I can just dump everything). Sautée the vegetables in a little olive oil in pan until soft. Then dump everything else in the pan. Yes, I mean it. Add Water as needed to cover everything. You won't need much Water in a crockpot.

Cook until beans are done and the liquid part starts to look creamy. Use immersion blender or regular blender to Purée.

Top with sour cream!

Can add a can or make 14-15 oz of enchilada sauce yourself. Either works :)

I tried eggs my first morning for soft foods and they didn't sit to well but will try again with a different version. Good for you though! Thanks the above helps me too. Tried Lamb Burgers with Mint Yogurt sauce yesterday and they were tasty and sat well on stomach...whew!:)

How much did you weigh going in?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
