In need of some major guidance



Recommended Posts

I've started the pureed phase of my diet and I'm having a hard time incorporating Protein unless it's a greek yogurt or Protein Shake. I can tolerate a scrambled egg, but that's about it. The thought of pureed meat grosses me out. I work in a nursing home and that's all I can think of. What can I do? I need more variety in my life.

Does tuna salad or very finely chopped chicken salad count as puree in your plan? Egg salad? Sloppy joe? Mashed up meatloaf. Also the ricotta bake from EggFace - those may help. Good Luck.

Creamy Soups were awesome for me during purée phase. I know carbs and all but sometimes you just gotta mix it up.

I made tuna salad with tuna a little mayo and dill pickle relish...that was very satisfying.

I had Miso Soup. Grab a packet of miso soup spice mix, beef broth and soft tofu. Good Protein with fluids and oh so yummy. Drop some egg in for extra protein.

Boil the heck out of a chicken breast. Put fresh onion, a little cabbage, cilantro, pepper, celery salt, and a touch of cumin. Cook it until the chicken falls apart it's so soft. Remove the chicken, blend the juice and then put the chicken back in. It will knock your socks off. Like a yummy Mexican caldo.

Take care

Yeah tuna salad counts. I can't get it down just yet. It gets stuck and it's really uncomfortable. I'm going to try ricotta bakes for sure. I didn't think about sloppy Joes. I should try that too. Thanks!

Just thought, when I was on "pureed" stage, I was told that I could eat any type or Protein, doesn't need to be pureed, just chew a lot and make it mush in my mouth before I swallow... I ate chicken, tune, fish and so on my "pureed" stage.. it worked out fine. Good luck!

Also try Beans. I'm vegetarian so my pureed phase will be hummus, black bean Soup, refried beans...

I'm 6 days post op, and my dietician said that Wendy's chili, puréed, was a favorite among patients. I'm not sure if I'll try that. I never had their chili beforehand.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
