Im DREADING this stage!!!

Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app



I had surgery June 5.i have not "eaten" since May 21. I am not cleared for puree until June 26, but I am cheating on June 25. I want to make me an egg Sunday morning and the ricotta bake.

I hate protien shakes.

I am not dreading this stage at all.

I got some in the Dollar Tree, in the aisle with the napkins and foils and ziplock bags, but a larger quantity package in target near the rubbermaid containers.

Thanks so much! My pureed stage is combined with my soft food stage, but I love the idea pre measuring these out for the week.

I just started purée also. I cooked boneless chicken in the crock pot until it was really soft, then puréed it with some of the broth, a tiny bit of Neufchâtel cheese and sour cream, and fajita type seasoning. I put a sprinkle of cheddar on when heating and it's really good. I found some glass custard cups with lids at Walmart, they are 4 oz, but they are perfect for measuring my portions and reheating.

I start puree tomorrow. I'm really excited to have somewhat real food. Tired of liquids!

3 wks post-op & I tried smoothies by adding a piece of fruit to my shakes: no bueno. I have been able to get an ounce of NF cottage cheese or 1 egg & keep it in so very bueno. I'm taking the reintroduction of foods very slowly. Just want to be able to tolerate an ounce of anything right now. And, I'm grateful, very very grateful.

Good for you! That's the way to do it. I started my full liquids this morning and made 1oz of cream of wheat which was absolutely huge! I just picked at it and went very slow and didn't even make a dent in it. Just scared to go,overboard right now!

My doctor and nut have me on 2 weeks liquid, 4 weeks purée(no cream of wheat or oatmeal allowed), then 4 weeks of soft foods (like oatmeal). It seems like most people are only on purée for 2 weeks. Is 4weeks normal for purée diet?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
