Sorry, purées just suck. There are people on here that purée normal meals and eat em (meatloaf, fajitas, etc) so that's one option (bleh!!!). I personally ate a lot of beans/bean Soups. Retried Beans thinned with a little chicken broth, add puréed salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream. Bean Soup cooked til it's mush and the vegetables are completely falling apart. Egg salad (boiled egg, dab of mayo, mustard, salt, pepper. At first I puréed this, then further out just used my fine grater to grate the eggs. Broccoli cheese Soup puréed with my ninja, roasted squash soup also puréed. I was not super creative but the thought of pureeing meat horrified me!!! So I avoided meat for the most part. Oatmeal/cream of wheat but use caution, this is where I started dumping. sugar free pudding made with sKim or 1% milk, add a scoop of Syntrax nectar (pick your flavor) and stir with the pudding powder before adding milk. Covers the Protein flavor fairly well. 1/2 cup has 100 calories and 10 grams of Protein. And of course, smooth Greek yogurt. I use dannon light and fit greek 2x the protein, 80 calories, 12 grams of protein.

Play around with it! You'll find something you can tolerate. My emergency lunch meal was egg drop soup, just strain out the chunks. Lived off this for lunch during the week!

Google the world according to eggface. She has many ideas. Her ricotta cheese bake (ricotta, mozzarella, spaghetti sauce) was also one of my purée staples!

Good luck!!!!

While I do appreciate the world according to egg face blog, I do take issue with the fact that there are so many packaged foods. Having bariatric surgery means that you are getting a brand-new start. Moving from liquids, to puréed, to semisolid, to solid is a journey that we should enjoy. Eating canned beef hash is not part of my journey, and will not be part of my journey. This is a big opportunity for us to go organic, eat clean, it local. The excuse that everything is too expensive will no longer apply because our portions will be tiny.

If there is ever a time in your life where eating organic will be affordable, it is directly after you get gastric bypass surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
