Hi all im 15 days post op and im on the purse stage. Im really pruning out of ideas I started mash and sweet potato purse I did ham and cheese purse but I need some suggestions. Im worried because I started this stage and my weight loss is stalled and I gained a pound im 27 pounds down and im not sure if im doing something wrong.

Today I think I messed up I had turkey chilling but since it was so soft I chewed the heck out of it and didn't purse it went down fine but im scared im doing this wrong. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanx guys!!!!

I got some recipes from The World According To Eggface. The baked ricotta was my fav!

Thanx I forgot about that

My fav is pureed refried Beans (whiz them in blender til smooth), then add a teaspoon of cheese whiz and heat in microwave. I add a dab of light sour cream and a dash of Tabasco. (i have a sleeve of steel so far so spicy doesn't bother me, but YMMV)

I've also tried canned chicken, pureed, and added a bit of BBQ sauce. Pop in the microwave to warm up. Add shredded cheese if you like.

Scrambled eggs are another fav (add a bit of Water to make them fluffy and soft). Try it scrambled with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge!

Oh, if you like pudding... Try adding unflavored Protein powder to sugar free pudding!

Have you tried greek yogurt? Get plain greek yogurt and mix in a few pumps of your favorite sugar-free syrup! Or, if you're cleared to have pureed fruits, mix that in with the greek yogurt and add splenda or truvia, etc. to sweeten.

Any other recipes to share funkeechicken????

I threw 1 egg white, turkey sausage crumbles, water and a tiny bit of cheese in my food processor and made an omelet. Just make sure its fluffy. I don't know if the sausage was supposed to be allowed but I ground it down to a fine powder

Hmmmm sounds simple!! Thanks Donny

Tonight I pureed some roast beef and moistened with tomato sauce. It was good

I also added a bit of corn dip to an egg and mashed it. Trying to mix it up a bit and not get bored. But I am loving plain cottage cheese.... Straaange

great idea guys thanx so much

I'm new to this stage too. So far, I've had

Refried Beans with a little cheese and sour cream

pureed chicken with cream of mushroom

Left over chicken from above with verde enchilada sauce

Tuna fish with a hard boiled egg and onion pureed topped with Frank's hot sauce

Cottage cheese with pureed canned peaches

So far all has been good!

Oh and today I'm making guacamole which is my fave!

When did you start this phase - how many days post op were you?

I started last sunday and i was sleeved on nov 5th

Thanks for all these ideas. Great tips.

My family had tacos tonight, so I put low fat sour cream, cheese and taco meat in a blender. It basically made a dip. I hate beans, but that could easily be added. After weeks clear liquids, it tasted like heaven. If only I could've eaten more than three bites..,,
