How does it compare to tofu? Can I eat either of these during the purée stage? Thanks.

Polenta is a grain, I'd be a little wary of it at that stage as it would be like eating cornbread to your stomach.

I guess I should be more specific that polenta is made from cornmeal, like cornbread is.

If you've ever had grits, you've have bleached polenta.

Careful with this is you are trying to avoid carbs. :)

Ok, not a problem to stay away from polenta. Thanks for the info. I've seen it in different recipes, but had no clue.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
