On "thin purees", next step....



Recommended Posts

I am currently on "thin purees",(cottage cheese, soft tofu,eggs,soft moist fish,beans... Added to broth and blended to a thin purée. Also oatmeal, cream of wheat and grits, also thinned to purée.

After this,I will advance to " thick purees"...I can sort of figure out what this means, but I'd like to hear from anyone with experience as to what foods they added or how they prepared them. Thank you!

Maybe more of a question for your nutritionist but I would imagine it would be things like mashed potato's, refried Beans, yogurt (without thinning with milk), etc.

My thick purees was anything that I could put threw a blender.

I agree w/ Madds. I would think it is just regular food put through the blender. I would double ck w/ your nutritionist if in doubt or if they gave you papers during the preop. I made things like chicken pureed w/ salsa, refried Beans, etc. ground meat w/ a little bit of liquid and in the blender... it doesn't look the most appetizing but it sure tasted good. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
