Puree foods any suggestions



Recommended Posts

Today makes 2 weeks after my surgery. I'm moving to puree foods and I don't know what to eat that will probably sit well with me. I'm asking for any suggestions on what to eat, HELP!!!

depends on your pickiness. If you have a bullit you can puree almost anything you liked prior to your sleeve. Veggies cooked very well and thinned with some chicken or beef stock is yummy. I particularly liked zucchini that way. Deviled eggs with a little of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powdered chicken broth is really yummy. I didn't not particularly like it made into a broth however but it did make for a really good seasoning for things like deviled eggs and pureed veggies. I added the powder dry to the eggs with a bit of Water to make a paste. It is also good to have some Tomato basil Soup, pureed cottage cheese and a little canned fruit pureed into it, Yogurt, go thru some bariatric websites for some great ideas.

I was told no veggies for the first month or fruits for the first two months, and potatoes were banned because of the starch.

I've been eating scrambled eggs with shredded cheese every morning. I have made some egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, turkey salad. Also every day for lunch I eat a piece of Ricotta Bake, oh my god it's fantastic. Got the recipe here (and also there are other great suggestions for the puree phase): http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html

I was going to suggest the blog mentioned in the post above - Eggface has an entire post devoted to puree stage ideas. I had a lot of greek yogurt, cottage cheese, the infamous ricotta bake, refried Beans with melted cheese, pureed tuna salad/chicken salad/salmon salad/egg salad (using plain nonfat greek yogurt instead of mayo). Those flavored tuna pouches got me through the puree and soft foods stage and still are a convenient on the run item to keep in my bag and for when I travel.

I used a black and decker mini chopper to make my purees - basically a miniature food processor. Only costs about $10 and was the perfect size for a pouch of tuna or small can of chicken and a tablespoon or two of yogurt. (During puree phase that would be 2 or 3 meals for me)

I used a lot of white types of fish, Swai was my favorite. I baked it with a little olive oil and lemon, it was so soft already all I had to do was mash it a little with my fork. Soft, moist and a good way to get a healthy dose of Protein.

      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.
