I love chicken so I make chicken broth and use it to blend my vegetables and the chicken. The way I do it is I use a deep pan, pour hot Water with the chicken, a piece of garlic, cilantro and a piece of onion with some salt. Then I add some vegetables like carrots, potato, brocoli or celeri. Let boil until the chicken is cook and the vegetables are soft. I just love it.

That's sounds delish. I can't wait to eat a little food. I'm so tired of Soups and Protein Drinks. Having a rough day today.

When do you start? When I was on liquids, my treats were the Jello and the sugar free popsicles. I love the popsicles.

I think my big concern with eating in the liquid-pureed phase (right after surgery) is that the Protein options are limited. And, I have discovered that I really don't like the Protein Drinks or the whey powders. So, I keep eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese and Soup made with milk. I enjoy all these things normally, but not so much under the circumstances.

Boiled egg with light mayo puree to be like deviled egg. Hormel complete meals with no bread or Pasta purée nicely' date=' I also brought Ruth's chicken and tuna salads they are already in a puréed state in the tub from store. Refried Beans and chili are good. Also frozen meatballs unthawed and purée topped with Alfredo, Tomato sauce or whatever you like. I like the meatballs because it is easier than browning ponds of beef at a time if rest of the family is having something else. Most meals the family has could be purée but is it healthy? And how will it appear purée is the catch![/quote']

Love the egg idea I love the stuffing deviled eggs. Also meatball idea great too. Thanks!

I can start purees this Thursday. Surgery was 12/10, came home 12/13 and I've been on full liquids since. Woke up sick to my stomach today and was dry heaving for a few minutes. But I slept later today and took my prevacid late. Once I got that down and my shakes i felt better.

But I truly feel I'm ready to start some food.

I do eat Jello and Popsicles. Just made. Some orange jello today

;-)

Somewhere on this site someone mentioned making deviled eggs but instead of using the yokes putting hummus in there. Delish! Can't wait to try that.

Ben & Jerry's has frozen Greek yogurt. Almost same calories as regular but taste like Ice Cream with 10 grams of Protien

I saw a recipe in a prevention book that included this frozen yogurt, cocoa powder, Protein powder, and a few other things I can't remember off hand. It looked sooooo good. Im going to try to find this next week.

I was sleeved on the 11th but my doctor asked to be on liquids just for one week. I will be 2 on puree. So far I have not felt sick at all, only the first two days I was having hicups lol I don't know why. But as far as tolarating food, I have been good.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
