You will do just fine with puree. If i can you can. I duo agree your surgeon is three strictest of the April peeps. I started puree on day two. Hang in there!

Has anybody had trouble with crystal light everytime I try it it hurts my pouch everytime its so weird referring to my stomach as a pouch

I haven't had any issues. I use it ever day. Plain Water has been hard to drink post op. (Wasnt a problem before)

Actually, I haven't been bothered by anything...hmm....and I'm losing slowly...maybe he didn't do the surgery after all. Lol

No trouble, I just don't like it much anymore. Seems like every flavor is too sweet.

Id have to agree that out of all of us April peeps' date=' your surgeon has to be the strictest. I'm sure his methods are tried and true however, so just keep on following! pureed isn't that bad, and at least you will be able to taste something different. Congrats on the weight loss! Great job![/quote']

Thanks im home and trying my first "meal" canned chicken pureed witha a southwestern ranch mayo type of condiment it tastes pretty good the only thing is i had to put more.than the recommend serving size of the southwestwrn ranch or it was too dry

I know ill get through it was just very frustrated i feel like im so far behind everyone on here when it comes to food and now i have 2-4 weeks of pureed

Have a question do you weigh or measure 3 ounces?

I usually add a little milk to my puréed tuna or chicken salad to make in less dry but not use too much mayo. Can't taste the difference.

My dr doesn't allow milk at all

I was upset too that my diet didn't move faster but I feel the doctors have there reasons from experience. Had my first salad tonight.. Yeah! Be patient ... Time moves faster than you think.
