Puréed foods 1 week out



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery nine days ago and it went great. No pain or discomfort from day one I could tolerate Clear Liquids and even an ounce of yogurt several times a day. I am getting in 64 ounces of Water in a day and 90/120 grams of Protein. I use paleo egg protein mixed into my drinks. I average 700-900 calories a day. I have only lost two pounds since the surgery as good as I feel I am actually afraid that I will put weight on as I don't feel any restriction. It worries me has any one else experienced this?

I was allowed purée from day 2. :-) BUT: not everything felt good and the portions were tiny. Yogurt usually works well.

You did not stretch your stomach out...

Liquids are incapable of stretching the stomach. pureed foods, a.k.a. "pudding thick" liquid foods, are incapable of stretching the stomach. These foods also do not produce the feeling of restriction in all peoples' sleeves.

In all likelihood you will not feel that tight restrictive feeling until further along in your dietary progression when you consume solid Proteins such as chicken, beef, fish, pork, and so on.

great to know that., I do tolerate the liquids and puree foods fine although I do drink the liquids all day long I don't just down the bottle all at once :-) I have no desire to eat meat or real food at this time only egg salad and pureed sweetpotato which i mix with Protein power. Thank you for your answer

I am like you Cajun1 as I had no pain, nausea or issues from my recent VSG on 4/17/17. I am still on full liquids and am looking forward to starting puréed foods this week and then soft foods in 3 more weeks. I feel I can eat/drink 4-8 oz at a time, and often feel like I can eat ( more like drink) more. I just want something to chew, so today, I got sf chewing gum and that really satisfied the urge to chew. I actually gained 5 lbs from all the IV fluids and then lost 2 lbs a day for 5 days. Then the scale stopped until this morning. I lost 3 lbs after a 10 day stall. I have been walking 2-3 miles per day and couldn't understand why I was not shedding pounds. My face has thinned and I lost a chin, (good riddance!) my pants are getting looser. Then I realized that it took 30 years to gain it and I should be more patient. Our bodies just endured a traumatic change and must be allowed time to heal & adjust. Be patient, give it time and Celebrate every small victory.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
