My first pureed meat meal. Ugh!



Recommended Posts

I pureed a can of chicken with some ranch dressing. I filled up a 1/4 cup container. I tried to eat it slowly but I still have problems with that. I ended up "finishing it" and was uncomfortably full for about an hour. I should have stopped at 1/8 cup. Can't wait to see what solid food will be like.

That is one big lesson I have learned with the sleeve....you must measure! Even one bite too many can cause that horrible too full feeling. I have to really watch it if I go out to eat at a restaurant. I try to share instead of ordering my own food to avoid it. It is what we paid for though! LOL

I have come to realize that chicken no matter what form it is in is harder to get down than any other meat, and the ranch dressing probably didn't help matters any. I tried ranch after I was allowed to start back on salads "1 month post op" and it made me feel sooooo bad after.

Hang in there Patrick! Right now since you are within your first few days of getting back to solid Proteins, I think you are right in measuring it to 1/8 cup at a time. If you want a little more wait a few hours and try for more.

Also, Rotisserie chicken white meat, remove the skin and bone - add a little bit of broth is delicious!!! Especially if you make the puree while the meat is just finished cooking... I'm telling you, you won't be sorry you tried that!

:) It gets better folks! Promise!!

I tried another 1/4 cup of the pureed chicken again tonight. I really took my time eating over 40 minutes. I did not get the uncomfortable full feeling this time. I am slowly unlearning my bad habit of wolfing down food. I would rather eat 1/4 cup of pureed meat than gag down another Protein Shake.< /p>

It was suggessted to me to use a baby spoon when eating, forces you to take little bites.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
