ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....



Recommended Posts

I don't know how.you're doing it! I get 40-50 oz liquid a day- my.normal day consists of a.protein shake- 2 oz cottage cheese.w/5-6 pinto Beans and sugar free.Popsicles. Normally no dinner..just.too full!

I'm making myself eat every 2 hrs as directed by my dietician...she said if we stay too far under 800-1000 calories that I can hit a major plateau and I didn't want that at all

Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, sf Jello, sf pudding, mashed potatoes, sf applesauce, refried Beans ( like pintos and cheese), and believe it or not the blended chicken isn't too bad- I got a few suggestions on here from others that have been good for me. I bought chicken in the can from walmart-pureed it and topped it w ff cheese salsa and sour cream and its pretty much like Mexican chicken. Also topped w a little spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese which tastes like chicken parm. I've also done tuna blended w ff mayo. I have been able to tolerate them because I've alw ays liked chicken salad and tuna salad anyways. I've done small portions of these, like 2 oz at a time.

White chicken chili puréed is quite good (mine isn't too spicy). My dr wants me to eat 1/4 c Protein 1/4 c fruit/veggie so I've had butternut parsnip Soup, white asparagus soup, and various puréed fruits as well.

I've also used the one in my Betty Crocker cookbook. I'll be honest, I never follow a recipe exactly so these are just guides.

Another thing I've liked is boneless chicken breast in the crock or Dutch oven with a jar of salsa. Cook till meat flakes apart and add 3/4 to a full brick of cream cheese (turns a pink color). That's ok puréed and my family eats it as flautas or tacos.

The chicken in a can is really just like chunks of chicken breast. They (walmart ) have a great value brand that's based in like a Tomato basil that's actually really good. They also have original that's just Like chicken breast. The texture works fine for me. I have texture issues as well. This is probably my limit.

I don't have issues with the texture when it is in a more soup/stew form. Plain ground chicken though is a bit off putting for me.

I'm going to check it out. Walmart is right down the hill from me so I walk there to get my walking exercise in without being stuck on a treadmill at the gym!!! Before surgery I would usually drive there!!! If its tuna like texture I can deal with that! But like you guys not much more puréed than that!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
