I am being sleeved in a few days. I've been on the pre op diet which is going OK. I am curious about the post op diet though.
I am supposed to be on pureed foods (or liquids) for 4 weeks, with the exception of the first couple days which are Clear liquids.

My question is did anyone really eat and enjoy the pureed foods?
The sample recipes they have given me (normal foods such as eggs, chicken, Beans, tuna, veggies (but all pureed) do not sound very appealing. And baby food (another suggestion) I can't imagine eating.

I was thinking of just doing the Protein shakes, greek yogurt, Soups, for those four weeks.

What were other people's experiences during the first few weeks of post op diet before going on regular foods?

@@SoCalLeslie I just bought a container of Ricotta cheese (where the cottage cheese is at our Walmart) I didn't really measure anything but I'd say I cup mixed with 1 egg and seasonings ( Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper ect...) I mixed all that up, put it in a baking dish with a thin topping of marinara sauce and baked it at 350 for 20-25 mins.

last night I had refried Beans (about 5 baby spoon bites), 3 baby spoon bites of guac and a tiny piece of chicken about the size of a small fingernail and chewed it to a puree consistency. I got too full. I was uncomfortable and was scared

@@Elode Thanks much! I will definitely try this. Sounds really good.

I just had my first bite of something other than Jello, pudding, popcycles, broth, Protein drink, or baby food. I had pureed refried Beans with cheese and hot sauce for flavor. I swear the hot sauce was the best thing I've tasted in forever.

@@SoCalLeslie You're welcome! It's was heavenly
