I am pre-op, but have read that first two weeks are liquids, then full liquids, then mushies. Based on your surgeon's recommendations, you may find some ideas at this great site: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

You may want to go to the beginning of her journey to see what she was consuming. Good luck!

_{I can have full liquids starting day 3 and starting week 3 I can have soft mushy foods...then full foods!}

I loved me some Soups. Grab your favorite one and throw it into the blender.

I had three soups that I lived on:

Turkey Chili

Lentil Ham

Chick Veggie

I cooked them up well, then blended them. So much flavor, which I was just DYING for.

At restuarants, I would ask them to puree it and they always did, no problem. I remember a clam chowder that was AWESOME! It was still a bit chunky, so I got some quality chew time in as well.

Soup ... it's whats for dinner ... and lunch ... and dinner ... but it doesn't last forever. I still eat these soups now, just not pureed.

I would say nay on tomatoe...carbs in soup can really tear into your tummy!

My surgeon and NUT said to stay away from tomato soup for two weeks or so. But you can get great flavor from pureeing any other soups (stay away from those with noodles though). I ate a lot of pureed chili (you can add a little chicken broth to it if it is too thick) and black bean soup (I just mixed a can of black beans, a tiny bit of cumin and oregano, onion powder, and chicken broth - heat it all up good, puree and it was so tasty!). I bought a Magic Bullet at Costco for $29 for pureeing, but a blender works well too!

16 days out. Still having trouble eating puréed diet and no able to get 64 oz of liquids in. Anyone have ideas?

When you say, "Having trouble", what does that mean? Doesn't taste good, hard to swallow, comes back up ... all of the above?

Full feeling and pressure like I have over ate. Fill up after a tablespoon of food. Takes about an hour to drink 8 oz water due feelings of fullness. Normal???

At your stage, yes, very normal. Everyone is different, of course, but your stomach is very swollen from the surgery, as you can imagine. Some folks are more swollen than others. As the swelling goes down, your capacity increases, so ... it does get better. (and no, when this starts to happen to you, you are not stretching your sleeve)

Thanks, just got a tablespoon of black beans and chicken down.

I wouldn't be eating wonton since that is similiar to pasta and you can't have that for awhile.
