LoLo130 11 Posted April 30, 2019 I have been soooo good with my broth and shakes, I am honestly just craving the ability to chew food, or a change in texture. Would it be the worse thing in the world to start my purée stage and Vitamins a day early?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colorado Cowgirl 170 Posted April 30, 2019 I did bc my stomach felt ready but I did eat really slowly. I didn't do well with eggs for several weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted May 1, 2019 I started one day early too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GradyCat 3,695 Posted May 1, 2019 I doubt one day will hurt anything, but it's also a good idea to follow the surgeon's plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
med28thmed 118 Posted May 1, 2019 I started mine 5 days early. I really had a tough time ummm, not eating anything after the surgery! Do it slow if you're going to do it, and in little amounts and watch how your body react. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChocoTaco 37 Posted June 4, 2019 I was just thinking the same! I'm supposed to start pureed on Thursday but I can't take it anymore, I'm going to try scrambled eggs tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brent701 438 Posted June 5, 2019 a precaution on scrambled eggs... they are considered a soft under a lot of plans and not a puree. My first few times on scrambled eggs were pretty rough. If you have not experienced restriction yet go very slow if you absolutely must. 1 ChocoTaco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried scrambled eggs for Breakfast and barely finished my 2oz serving and felt sick. It just didn't settle well at all. I'm trying cottage cheese now (which I hated prior to surgery) and it's surprisingly good and settling a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a cup every single day. I never bought it pre-op, but now I am obsessed with it. You can puree up some hardboiled eggs w/ mayo/mustard for egg salad as an option. Scrambled eggs were more difficult. 1 ChocoTaco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChocoTaco 37 Posted June 5, 2019 @mousecat88 I will definitely try that for dinner tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brent701 438 Posted June 5, 2019 Revisit in a few days it will get easier. The wet kind seem to go down easier. Enjoy that restriction feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecat88 2,281 Posted June 5, 2019 Also something I tolerated well during puree was beanless chili. I bought 2oz baby food storage containers off Amazon and pre-portioned out cans of it. Annnnnd now I want chili. lol 1 ChocoTaco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
