I'm on the purée diet. I am curious as to what a day should look like. I am paranoid of stretching out my stomach and this not working. But I am having a hard time knowing what is good to eat. There's not a lot of puréed stuff that I feel like are good calories. I will eat some mashed potatoes but I feel like those are kind of a waste and don't keep me satisfied long. Can someone give me an example of what my day should look like regarding eating? Also, any good exercises I should be doing, or should I just be intentional about walking? I'm supposed to be doing 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

I'm 2 weeks out just started my pureed phase. I've been doing any Soups that have the highest Protein. I started with chicken and rice and I use my smoothie blender to puree. You can only eat a few bites at first so I buy the small can and only heat 1/2 can. I've graduated to a beef stew or Soup with beef just make sure you really puree it and chew very good before swallowing. I've lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks. I stick to Protein Shakes and Greek yogurt only do I pureed meal a day. Goodluck I'm like you very worried about gaining now that I can have real food. But I've been walking a mile a day to balance it all out.

When I got out of surgery I didn't have to do purée. I was allowed Protein only- chicken and such but it had to be shredded. Or like chicken, tuna, or egg salad. Homemade only. Someone else mentioned if you're hungrier than you think you should be, talk to your doctor about an acid reducer. It dramatically changed my appetite because I was hungry all the time.

You can also add unflavored Protein Powder to puréed foods and get more bang from your buck. I didn't watch carbs because I was eating so little and I was more concerned with healing and making sure I got my Protein and Water in.
I had Greek yogurt, Tomato Soup, refried Beans, mashed sweet potato with protein powder, eggs scrambled with cheese. I always had to have at least one shake a day to get my protein in.

Joann454,

What portion sizes did you have the scrambled egg and cheese, Tomato Soup, refried Beans? 2 ounces?

I'm a week and a few days out and want to eat more real foods, but obviously I want to watch my portion sizes.

Thanks!

Do you have any suggestions for an unflavored protein powder that I could add? In a dream scenario it would completely blend in and I wouldn't notice grit or taste.

Cottage cheese also works well for this stage. I still eat it now and I am on solid foods. Also try the ricotta bake it is very good.

Do you mean like Pepcid?

I can't imagine having to worry about portion sizes too much as the sleeve is restricted - but it's a good thing to think of

      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.
