That awkward pureed stage...



Recommended Posts

I can have guacamole... which I love. But no tortilla chips.< /p>

I can have salsa, which I love. But no chips.

I can have hummus... which I love. But no pita chips.

I can have dips... but no chips!

Am I totally having a WTF?! moment or are there things I'm just not thinking about?

omg I felt the same way! I bought dips, hummus and they are still sitting in my fridge untouched. At least I have stuff to offer my guests :)

I hated that phase... I pretty much skipped over it once I knew I could tolerate it and jumped right into the 'soft' phase. Try getting some chunky Soups and putting them in the blender perhaps? I made my mom make me soups... put her to work ;) she loves it.

Hated that stage! Thank heavens it was short! I ate a LOT of Laughing Cow cheese. I bought it in every flavor they make. It just went down easily. (I can't eat Lauging Cow at all anymore!) I also liked scrambled egg with a little cottage cheese. I bought some baby foods for convenience, but they were not appetizing and I gave them to someone with a baby. I did use a lot of baby oatmeal Cereal - just added a little milk, cinnamon & truvia. Also a drop of anise flavoring - yum! I never once "pureed" a food - that would have driven me over the edge!

I wish I could breeze thru it. But I was put in the hospital due to my stomach not accepting the new staples in it. It got so swollen that it rubbed against my pancreas and gave me severe pancreatitis. I was actually just discharged on friday. So I have to really take it easy on the pureed foods.

Oh no! That is no bueno. Yes... you better take it really easy as I am sure you still have a lot of inflammation and irritation not to mention the pancreatitis must have been no picnic either. Those soups in the blender were somewhat satisfying I wish you a speedy recovery. Feel better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
