Sleeved 3 weeks ago



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have enjoyed reading a lot of your posts. I am 3 weeks sleeved today, had surgery on 10-3-11, and the dietitian has now moved me to pureed foods. Does anyone have any good tasting ideas for pureed food? Any help would be much appreciated. Also, does everyone have to do the pureed foods? Thanks

I just started puree/soft foods and so far I've tried hard boiled eggs (I can only eat half), split pea Soup, string cheese and tuna.< /p>

I also bought some frozen grilled fish (not breaded) and hummus (because they were on my approved list as well) but haven't tried it yet.

I'm still drinking Protein shakes to get most of my Protein in because food kind of scares me but I'm S L O W L Y trying things.

Good Luck to you!!!!!!

So far on pureeds I've enjoyed thick Soups (tomato with cream cheese swirled in), tuna/ chicken/ egg salads, Greek yogurt, sugar free pudding, refried Beans with cheese, laughing cow cheese wedges, and squash casserole. The only thing I can't handle that I've tried so far is Peanut Butter :( Even one spoonful blended into my shake makes me feel terrible for a couple of hours.

All is good except I have a new-found aversion to the Protein shakes in the past 36 hours. I even tried the clear Isopure drinks today with no luck. I don't get nauseated, but I am really turned off by them. Weird - I'm 3 weeks out from surgery and I've been drinking them fine fir 5 weeks now.

Hi Tuttle,

I have lost 16 pounds so far. Not as much as i would like but I'm kinda glad it's going about a pound or half a pound a day. Please don't get discouraged.

I haven't been able to puree anything and eat it, it is just not tasting good. I have been eating lots of cottage cheese with salt and pepper, or sometimes salsa. I have been having meat and I chew it about 30 times. That seems to be okay. Today I actually had a Protein shake, I like the Pure Protein chocolate so far. Keep in touch since we had our surgeries on the same day.

Pick up some canned or jarred gravies, chicken, beef, etc. I found if you don't overcook the meat, have it tender, mixed in with gravy it comes out easy to chew and if you chew it like 50 times it is same as puree. Also liked soft scrambled eggs with deviled ham. Vegetables steamed well so they can be mushed with a fork worked well. Also mashed potatoes, even baked potato (not skin) as well as soft fruits like peaches and bananas are good, just don't have skins, hard to digest at 3 weeks.

My saving grace has been pureed Lentil Vegetable Soup (Amy's Organic); I puree in a baby bullet I purchased and heat up .. .it tastes good and it's got 8 grams of Protein per serving .. if you like lentils, you'll like this ... or if you like an other Beans (black beans), maybe try a can of black bean vegetable soup & puree .. that too has Protein in it re: Beans (I'm not a black bean person but I do love lentils).

Was sleeve on 9/24, so still eating mushies, although today was able to keep down a few slices of turkey .. but my tummy really likes pureed foods much better at this point ... so I'm doing what's best for my tummy right now (I tried mushy tunafish, but that didn't work for me just yet).

Also, applesauce (although it doesn't have protein in it), and cottage cheese (which does has protein) works for me. I also pureed some cream spinach and that worked well for me too, although drinking pureed green stuff is kind of gross when I actually looked what I was having (reminded me of those nutty people who juice spinach! ha!)

Keep up the good work!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
