Mushy ideas? My NUT is all about no carbs or fat so I'm wondering how do i make this food mushy?

Put it in a food processor with some broth or sauce. Does your dietician really mean NO carbs or fat? Because that's not healthy IMO, or really even possible unless the only thing you are ever going to eat is extremely lean meat. Even that will have some fat in it.

She's actually OK with Protein sources having some natural fat but she's not allowing any mayo or healthy oils like at all.... seems a bit extreme

I agree. That is extreme. Some carbs are healthy. mayo I can understand but I use cheese and cheese sauce to moisten I lived on runny mashed potatoes for a while. I went 6 weeks without ANY food and very little Fluid. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and almost had a central line for IV fluids. My NUT said do what works (within reason). Extremes aren't healthy.

I am not saying you to do this you must follow your gut instinct or your nut but in the very beginning a lot of "sleevers" tolerate mashed potatoes or the noodles and juice from Cambell's chicken noodle Soup original- don't eat the chicken pieces just yet and try to fill up on Protein Shakes. They do have Protein puddings and jello-s but they don't taste too good.

Refried Beans with some light sour cream is a decent Protein source. I made tuna and chicken salad in the blender so it is smooth(like pate), you can use light mayo. I also put chicken or turkey in the blender with some gravy.

My NUT recommended adding a bit of gravy. She even specifically recommended the prepared kind you buy in jars.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
