I am going into the pureed stage tomorrow and wonder which non-starchy veggies I should use? Should I also stay away from fibrous veggies?

I used anything and puréed it. It wasn't a problem. I would get a bag of mixed veg, cook, season and then purée.

All I ate was Mashed Potatoes... Although I think that's a starchy vegetable. It stayed down though.

Do you have a NUT at your doctor office? All veggies are not on the pureed/soft stage. ie, mine include carrots, squash, potatoes. But most other veggies are not til regular foods on my plan. You do need to start adding starches though.

Hi, I'm just cooking and freezing purees right now. My nutritionist basically said if you can puree it it's fine.

I'm trying to make things as nutrient rich as possible - using organic beef, fish and chicken (plus homemade broth of each) and cooking with lots of vegetables. So far I'm using (and apologies, I'm in the UK and I know we call vegetables different things):

Onions
Peppers/Capsicum
Garlic
Courgette/Zucchini
Tomatoes (sieved)
Mushrooms
Fennel
Carrots
Squash
Butter beans
Green beans

The purees I'm making are very fine textured and while I cook with a wide variety of herbs and spices I'm careful not to use anything that has hard seeds (so no fennel or caraway seeds and sieving the tomatoes) as I imagine that could be an irritant at the healing stage.

My philosophy on all of this is that, if I'm eating very small amounts of things they should be bloody tasty and good for me!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
