I've been on pureed for almost 2 weeks.

I guess its what your stomach can handle but ice tried chicken with BBQ Sauce and a pinch of mozzarella cheese that melts on top.

Ive also tried chicken with mushrooms chopped up small, diced onions and a small amount of frozen spinach. Cook the vegs Sep on stove and then puree the ck after its cooked...

Refried Beans are on my list too.

Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes that you can thin out with a little milk. You can also add non flavored Protein Powder to them if you are low on Protein. You can also cook cauliflower and puree them. Put it in a small bowl or ramikin, cover with a little Pasta Sauce (if you can tolerate) and then either shredded cheese or ricotta and nuke it so the cheese melts. Of course you can make variations of this but ths was really good and it added Fiber which I was missing ;) Refried Beans are on my list too but I have to thin them out with Water or the air gets trapped and can't get through. Weird. eggs. I recently started pureeing whatever protein and veggies my family was having and it's working out pretty good so far. It's easier than always making 2 dinners. Especially with the amount of what you eat, it takes longer to make the 2nd meal than it does to eat it LOL. Also they have been great about eating Soup and grilled cheese while I eat soup - thank goodness it's been chilly lately. I found that if I puree breast meat chicken, I have to add a little broth or water to it to help it along. Dark meat not so much. The moisture helps it go down easier without wanting to come back up or sit in my chest. Same when I puree beef. So far I've only pureed a roast I made in the slow cooker and hamburger meat. I didn't have a problem with either as long as there was moisture. If it's really dry, it hurst me. Tonight my husband is making meatloaf so we will see how that works...if it doesn't, I always have beans in the pantry :)

Minestrone Soup for family, pureed for you. To me minestrone is great pureed if you like it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
