My surgeon made it seem like as long as it was relatively smooth or chewed into oblivion it should be ok. 👍🏻

You won't know until you try it. Just eat one or two SMALL bites and wait a few minutes. Then see how it feels. If you get pain, stop. And don't over eat. You need to learn how you feel before you get full. I am 3 weeks out, trying new foods and this has been working well for me. I'm still not hungry so stopping is easy. I then go back to something I know works well.

Two weeks post op, I have been eating tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, hummus, butternut squash Soup, and mashed potatoes plus of course the ubiquitous Protein Shake. I am mindful on the "salads" as far as the fat content (e.g., mayo), but so far, these are the things that have worked for me in puree stage.

Puréed for me was anything you could put through a fine strainer.

eggs etc. was considered soft.

What do you eat with the hummus?

I have a X-ray question. I'm in stage 4 (sleeved on 8/15) had small pieces of chicken tonight and about 6 small green Beans.

on my list from the nutritionist it says I can have fat free ricotta. Being Italian, can I add fat free egg beaters and a little fat free mozzarella and Parmesan to make it more like manicotti filling? The plain fat free ricotta is tasteless..... the fat and calorie count would still be low...

      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.
