food to eat.

[lsessley 0]

I am new to the site so i hope someone responds. I am 20 years old and was sleeved on June 16,2017. My one month check up is tomorrow (7/17) and currently i am the pureed diet. This diet sucks and seems like the only thing i ever want to eat are potatoes, cream of wheat and skinless boneless chicken. I did cheat and had a wheat cracker ( not ritz but another brand) . I also eat a lot of cheese. Can someone tell me what you were eating during the pureed stage? Hopefully i am moved to soft food tomorrow so can someone tell me everything they ate at that stage also. I am missing salad so much and my guilty pleasure is that i am craving some type of classic sub or sandwich. Are any of those good to eat at least 6 weeks out. i need advice help !!! also when can i eat broccoli ?

Each surgeon has a different food plan. I was on liquid for week 1, puréed for 2 weeks then soft foods at the start of week 4. On the puréed stage, I ate lots of eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese. Hummus was a good option.

For me, softfood meant if I could cut it with a fork (no knife) it is allowed. I'm eating tuna, cheese sticks, lunch meat. Ground beef for tacos (no shell), pulled pork. You'll find you have lots of options.

For salad, eat the toppings (meat cheese, some veggies) skip th lettuce. Greens are just filled. Same with sandwiches....skip the bread...it's just filler. With th smaller stomach, we don't need filler.

im allowed to eat spinach should i just say no to spinach as the "lettuce" for the salad?

If your doctor OK'd spinach you could have a little. I'd focus on getting your protein...so go heavy on the salad toppings and only a few leaves. Right now I can only eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup...to me it isn't worth using the limited space on salads. If that is something you are craving, you can find a way to make it work.

I talk cottage cheese and put in ninja with some dry dressing seasoning or a whole container of cottage cheese to a package of onion Soup mix and a small amt of milk and lemon juice. Taste like an onion sour cream dip for with veggies
