Just hit the puree portion of the diet, had my sleeve on 10/8. No issues with any liquids. Done the puree sweet potato, apple sauce, and cream of Wheat and soft scrambled egg. Looking for some interesting recipes or ideas

Soups, chili, refried Beans with taco seasoning, more Jello (lol I'm tired of jello but still eat it), pudding, mashed potatoes and gravy w/ puréed chicken in the gravy, and baby food fruits (they really are yummy)

Do you use fat free gravy?? How are you preparing the chicken? ? Using stock?

Pasta-less lasagna: cooked chicken breast, ricotta cheese, and spaghetti sauce - puree in the blender to the right consistency. Good warm or cold. I used equal parts chicken and ricotta and used the sauce to get to the right texture. Added extra italian seasoning and garlic and some parm cheese, too.

tuna salad: albacore tuna, relish and lowfat mayo blended to the right texture. I used homemade zucchini relish, which is pretty zippy since it has curry powder in it. 1 can of albacore to 3/4 cup of relish was good for me, with just enough mayo to bind it. Blended it down to the texture of dip.

These are my 2 favorite go-to Protein meals for weeks 3-4. Hummus is good too, especially if you need some Fiber.

I just got mashed potatoes and gravy at Haggens and a rotisserie chicken. Then i took some Breast and mashed it up with gravy. We eat such a small amount that I wasn't worried about fat in it.

I did a lot of chili with no Beans blended for the Protein content, also I did a lot from the liquid stage popsicles and Jello because I had no appetite whatsoever

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
