I had my first post op appt today. In 13 days i have lost 23 lbs. I am now on the puree stage and scared of gaining since i can have real food.

Good for you,Beth! I'm on the puréed stuff now and I'm sticking with it, but I'm not losing.

What are you eating on puree

Well, in the morning I either have 2 TBSP. of either cream of wheat, or oatmeal and 2TBSP of yogurt. Lunch is deli turkey 1oz., and 2 Tbsp. of nonfat cottage cheese. Dinner is either 1 oz of deli meat and 2 TBSP of nonfat cottage cheese. I dot purée. With what I'm eating small bites and good chewing seem to work

I never was told to purée as longas it was soft and I chewed it very well. As of Monday I was 3 weeks post op. I'm not on any restrictions. I was just told when trying something new just take it slow and chew very well. I guess it's because I haven't had any issues with liquids or foods going down.
