I bought a black bean Soup,from Progresso, and a bean,and ham Soup, pureed both, and couldn't eat either of them, they just tasted awful. I finally made some home made black Beans, and I knew the puree wasn't going to work for me, so I just semi mashed them, and chewed, and it worked. lived on that,and yogurt, and applesauce. Now i'm on regular food, but it's still not easy, just do a little at a time. Find Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese, with pineapple, goes down fairy easy. Tried some baked flounder tonight, it wasn't hurting, but it wasn't easy either, just felt a bit heavy.

Was never on purees. Went straight from full liquid to soft after 4 weeks. But my first meal I guess can be considered purees: Refried Beans with a dollup of sour cream and a pinch of melted cheddar and a little taco sauce. It was like eating steak and lobster.

Good luck!

tuna salad. Tuna, some mayo, I chopped up a pickle reeeeeally good, added a bit of the Pickle Juice ( vlassic has a no sugar added pickle so good. No sugar, calories, carbs, etc) it was the beat thing I'd eaten in 5 or 6 weeks.

I agree with Sarajane. My first pureed food was tuna and lite mayo with a chopped dill pickle and a hard boiled egg. I ate part for supper one night and the rest for lunch the next day. I couldn't eat much but it was soo good. My next try was chicken salad fixed the same way. It held me till I could start eating real food. I still have some problems getting some foods down but over all I can eat most things.

I also ate lots of veggie burgers. Morningstar has a good one called grillers prime. Tastes like a real burger. And I also eat lots of lunch meat roll ups. Lunch meat, cheese and a little mayo/honey mustard, all rolled up. Pretty delicious. I love boars head lunch meat. They have have a good maple turkey.

Retried Beans. My staple puree's were refried beans, mashed potatoes with Unjury unflavored powder, scrambled eggs, plain Greek yogurt (the flavored ones all tasted way too sweet to me), cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese, puréed tuna salad, deviled ham, puréed split pea and bean Soups, and the "carryover" Protein Shakes and cream soups with Unjury unflavored powder from liquid stage.

Yup. Although I guess I was on a purée/soft food phase. Not strictly just purée.

Ricotta cheese and pizza sauce heated in the microwave. Delicious. I also still enjoy Dannon light & fit greek yogurts.

      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!!
