Not doing this puréed thing right...

[Vee16 33]

I was sleeved in 12/19 and was told last week that I could start the puréed phase which I was super excited about! However I think I'm doing it al wrong. I made meatloaf for the fam and smashed mine and ate mash potato with it. Next day I made grilled chicken that I put in my mini bullet with some fat free cheese and afresh sauce. But I feel like I'm eating stuff that I am not supposed to. Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes?

Today I made an awesome refried bean puree. Put half a can in the processor with 1/3 can beef broth, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and cheese. Heated it up and ate about 1/2 cup. I've also been enjoying yogurt! I just recently entered the puree phase.

That sounds delish! I'm not a huge fan of sweets which is why I think I'm having such a problem....

I was sleeved 12/13 and was told to make all food baby food consistency. My focus is suppose to be Protein so I am not eating any carbs and only adding broth or sauce to bring to the right consistency.

How much are you eating of each? I am only able to get about 1/3 a cup per meal

Google "The World According to Eggface" for some bariatric appropriate uses of food on the puree stage. There is a lot you can do with high Protein meats, such as chicken, fish(was my favorite on that stage). Well done veggies mashed up/pureed. Mashed cauliflower tastes good and is healthy too. A lot of people puree black, kidney or pinto Beans and add a bit of sour cream and cheese...another high Protein option.

Sounds to me like you're doing just fine as long as you're getting enough protien, and it seems you are. Try to style clear of potatoes, though. I know they are on some surgeons plan on the puréed stage, but why? We are discouraged from eating them further out post op, so why even go there? Many better alternatives.

I have no idea. I just know that I can have maybe 2-3 1/2 teaspoons of food before I start feeling pain.... I think I'm eating 2-3 times a day if that. I'm having such difficulty tryin to stay on track. The only thing I make sure I do have is at least one bottle of Protein shake.

What you are eating doesn't sound too bad to me, it sounds like you are getting your Protein in. I start purée in two days, I found the ricotta bake recipe I want to try. I am a bit leery of puréed meats so not sure how well I will do with that but we will see

Cottage cheese is easily tolerable. I also ate Greek yogurt, a little non-fat refried Beans with plain yogurt on top. Ricotta bake is good but don't go too heavy on the sauce because it may cause more acid this early out. I didn't get very adventurous as I was still trying to adjust to food being in my stomach.
