To Puree Or Not To Puree?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am about to be on this stage in my journey and I'm getting nervous. When you were at this point did you really puree your chicken to eat it? or maybe an orange? I'm so scared it's going to be like baby food ( ok thats pretty much what its going to be) but I don't know if I will be able to eat pureed chicken or ham...

What did you eat? How did you get through this stage???

I never put anything in a blender ....... just the thought is gross to me. I found plenty of things that were already the right texture. I didn't eat baby food either .... just gross.

Well, I guess I did make smoothies in the blender. Protein powder, sweet n low, yogurt, strawberries.

oatmeal

cream of wheat

Soups

Protein shakes and smoothies

cottage cheese

yogurt

those are a few that come to mind

I didn't purée either. Stuck with tuna and cottage cheese, string cheese, yogurt and Jello. Still using Protein Shakes here and there. Fortunately My Dr is fine about it.

So eating tuna and string cheese would be ok? That makes me excited!!! I just need to take small bites and chew right?

I pureed once. And then I heated it in the microwave. Not worth it. I shredded some chicken and put it in my chicken broth, but chewed really well. I'm now 3.5 weeks out, had the band tightened last week and am still doing okay with grilled chicken cutlets. I was interested to read that someone ate oatmeal. Is that okay?

I was told anything u can mash with a fork basically i wasnt a fan or pureed anything so chose food that was already soft, white fish, mashed green veg, caulifower mashed .. tasted more like normal food then .. if u do have blend then dont lump it all together blend it each individual bit , tastes better then. Cooked frozen peas are nice in a puree form :)

I pureed! I cooked up my meat and veg and then pureed them with milk or yoghurt to make them runnier. The big thing for me was flavour and I found myself adding different spices etc to get some real flavour happening. The only thing I would do different next time is to keep my meat and veg separate when pureed.< /p>

I also stewed up lots of fresh fruits and pureed them as well. After a month of liquids (pre and post-op combined) that first taste of real, pureed food was amazing!

I am just now going to enter the soft stage on Tuesday, I'm currently in the puree stage which I haven't really blended anything. Have been eating vienna sausage the chicken ones, laughing cow cheese, eggs (not alot they felt kinda weird), grits, oatmeal, creamed Soups, soft deli meats, canned chicken and tuna, chicken salad and tuna salad, refrid Beans with a bit of sour cream musher up of course, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt there's a pretty good variety of things that you can eat and not have to blend it up!! Hope this helped and gave you some ideas and maybe something to look forward too! :)

First week of mushies I could have cottage/ricotta cheese. Made with smooth spagetti sauce is an extra treat. I could also have Greek yogurt (fruit minced with hand blander). Second week mushies canned tuna or chicken. Mix with low fat laughing cow .

Only thing I puréed was Soup. I actually ate some baby food! I mostly stuck to things that didn't need to be puréed, like runny grits and oatmeal. I did Protein Shakes and added a little soft goat cheese to my Soups for extra Protein.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
