I had gastric bypass on Wednesday I got out of the hospital today.I'm feeling great my only problem is I'm not taking in enough protien.

Kizzy im so happy for u!! My hubby and I are scheduled in June and July so we r tryin to get our minds as well as our bodies ready for the changes. Can any one give me a typical day meal when ur on the puréed diet. I'm having trouble with how much liquid vs puréed food to eat. Plus Protein intake....we have to fill out 3 days of eating plan for our puréed diet and I'm so lost. I want to make it different every day so I don't get bored. Has anyone puréed tilapia or like ground turkey(like taco meat) if so was it decent? Thanks I'm so happy I found this place!

Are you in Memphis? I had to fill out a 3 day diet, too.

When I was doing the pureed thing I pureed some Campbell's potato soup and it really was/is excellent. I actually like it better than just making it the normal way. I never pureed ground turkey or tilapia but when you get to solid food, both are very rich in protein and incredibly versatile - you can season them just about any way you want it!

I know after my surgery I will only be able to have protein shakes for two weeks plus I can have chicken or beef broth and drink clear fluids...the protein shakes should cover your protein...

Yes babygirl901! R u too? I haven't filled out the 3 day puréed menu yet. Could u give me some tips how u filled yours out? Is anyone else from mphis tn, dr weaver?

It was confusing at first, but it is for practice. I ended up adding the Protein powder to make up the lack of protein. Also, i used labels on foods that I plan on eating post op (i.e., kroger's frozen teriyaki chicken breasts have 23grams/srvng. I have Dr. Wegner on 6/25.

Cool I have some ideas. I hear a lot of people hav trouble with chicken, so I'm gonna have other choices just in case. I've heard some people doing chili and purée it. I'm so scared of that phase but I'm gonna make sure we have a lot of choices. I hope and pray all of us have no complications and heal properly. I am gonna do my best to follow all the rules. R u cutting back already? If ur on fb inbox me ur name.

What helps me with chicken is finding something to dip it in like mustard or I use some chic filet sauce. I cut it into about Lima bean sized pieces and then dip, chew good and it's been good. I think cause chicken is dry this causes issues for some (me too till I figured it out)
