What's your favourite purred food



Recommended Posts

Hi Wildorchids, I went slightly ahead of my surgeons guidelines as I was feeling so well and had pretty much anything so long as I chewed it to apple sauce consistency. I'm 4 weeks out now and am officially permitted to do that. I mainly had Weight Watcher ready meals but didn't eat the carb half of the meal, apart from when it came to sausage and mash (yum) I'd have half of the whole meal and save the other half for another day! biggrin.gif

I'm trying to add more veg as I find so much Protein is constipating (I didn't experience the 'never trust a fart' problem), so tinned carrots are the ticket for me right now as they're pretty mushy and only take a few seconds to heat in the microwave.

I haven't gotten too far into the pureed stage yet (had my first soft-boiled egg today). But, here were the suggestions sent by my friend who recently had the sleeve:

Yogurt with no fruit chunks (mix in a little unflavored Protein Powder too. Not too much or the yogurt will get liquidy and weird).

Unsweetened applesauce.

Scrambled egg beaters - this will taste so good to you right now :) No chunks of anything like peppers or onions though :( Egg only. And even mash it up more with your fork before eating it.

Refried Beans, oh yum. Fat free taco bell ones are great (from the store, not actually from taco bell.) Heat them up with a little shredded cheese melted on top.

Cottage cheese.

ANYTHING else you want... as long as it is made into a really soft consistency. You can use a blender or food processor. It sounds yucky but really it's not so bad. You can even do tuna or chicken salad right now... but only if you have processed it to be much more mushy. No chunks of anything.

Thanks for starting this thread because I am technically in the stage but I have been afraid to eat. My Nut just kept saying eat moist protien. She said tuna, salmon, chicken all moistend with gravy or Soup or light mayo. I have had a few bites of scrabled egg beaters, egg whites scrambled, tuna with light mayo, applesauce, and a little turkey on christmas day but I am a bit scared of much more... Cant wait to put a half a bannana in my Protein Shake. Any one know when I can do that?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
