Hi Derrick,

I had trouble with the 1st 2 weeks too. It was hard to drink enough and I ended back in the hospital too for dehydration. Just keep at it... Remember that having enough fluids is key. For me I can get away with about 50 oz per day give or take. I don't have advice about the purée stage cause that wasn't how my doc did it. I however can't have simple carbs until I reach my goal weight... Bummers lol

Hi, I am 2 wks post op today, I have been on full liquids pretty much from day one. I want to try some other puréed foods but a little reluctant. Although I made chicken and rice and black bean Soup for the kids and I had the broth from it. It was very yummy.. Cottage cheese, chewed very well... Lol applesauce, low sugar, low fat Greek yogurt vanilla. Not chunks of fruit.. I had a nausea day three days ago... So not fun!! chicken broth and applesauce for two days.. I feel so much better.
