So I am 6 days out from my surgery doing absolutely great. In about 8 days I am going to start the next stage which is soft food/puréed. My question to you is do I really need to purée the food or can I just make sure it's nice and soft and chew it really well?

I was never told to do puree, just soft food. At two weeks I had no problem with soft foods like canned tuna, avocado, eggs, etc. But if you are in doubt consult your nutritionist

It's recommended you purée it since your body may not digest soft solid food that easy during your recovery period. . Follow your guidelines in order to succeed .

plans vary. if pureed foods are not appealing to you talk to your NUT about soft foods.

my plan didn't have pureed stage.

it was Clear liquids in hospital. full liquids for 10 days to two weeks and then soft foods. boy was I ready!

but some pureed food choices are good. I made touchdown taco dip and ate it with a spoon. it's refried Beans on the bottom, and then a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream on top. the recipe is online with the spices and such. now at three months I can have it with salsa on top.

I made grilled chicken and red kidney Beans in Tomato sauce to purée. I truly enjoyed that during my first month

After that I made a lot of homemade chili with chicken or turkey and multiple Beans and vegetables.post-244766-14644835804012_thumb.jpg

My mom said she didn't really purer she just chewed it for a very long time . One little piece at a time . My surgery is next week and idk how purée is going to go for me I feel like it would make me nauseous eating my food in a liquid form

I haven't pureed anything. I just chew soft food like eggs and tuna really well. Tonight I'm trying Cincinnati style chili which is soupier.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
