Okay I'm only at two weeks out but I can't do the puree foods...the texture in my mouth just makes me nauseous!!! But I know I need to eat something...I'm so tired of mashed potatoes and applesauce, grits make me sick and I just can't do the shakes. But I know I need protein pronto!!! Any suggestions?

greek yogurt, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup Protein, sf jello/popsicles, COTTAGE cheese, milk, peanutbutter, baby food, i even blended some meatballs with mashed potatoes veggies and some chicken soup protein at one point. you have to get it in otherwise you'll lag in healing and feel worse for longer (trust me, i was in the saaaaame boat and only JUST started to regulate and getting in what i needed)

goooood luuuck!!!

Can I just say mash a meatball up on my plate?

How far post op are you? You can always try, but dumping is tough and can lead to further complications ?

It is SO hard at this stage, I am almost 4weeks post and am just now starting to introduce solids and feel better, maybe try a thick soup (pea soup, clam chowder ect) will give you new flavors and a consistency that is a little more appetizing

I ate every soup I could lay my hands on. I dont know how to make soups for one so I ended up looking at the premade ones for the highest protein content. Bean soup has a good consistancy, good taste and high protein. Hang in there this stage will not last long but you need to follow the guidelines so that you can heal.

Went to my post-op appt today and the Dr moved me on to stage 3 which is a big relief for me I can deal with things here soooooo much better!!!

You can try to chew carefully but if something gets stuck you will be sorry. Tuna, egg, chicken and seafood salads are easy to purée and taste the same. They helped me alot. Also pureed crab cakes minus breadcrumbs before they were baked. Did my purees more like a paste than liquid.
