I'm on the puréed stage for about 3 weeks now and just wanted to know what you all are eating. I tried refried beans and my tummy said NO right away. I also tried plain cream of wheat which was ok but not a lot of protein.

Pretty much anything my family is eating, I'm pureeing. For taco night I mixed the meat with some avocado and taco sauce, on spaghetti night I mixed meat with sauce and a little cheese. I've made egg salad, tuna salad, skinny version of buffalo chicken dip, steamed veggies, applesauce, etc. If you are on Pinterest there are recipe links on there, or Google pureed food recipes after bariatric surgery.

Great ideas, thank you!

I'm still pre-op, so I'm only planning... but I am hoping to be able to add unflavored Protein powder to grits and eat those when I get to the pureed stage. Maybe you can do the same with your Cream of Wheat?

Try hummus, ricotta bake (recipe online), cottage cheese, sugar free pudding.

@@becomingmandikaye, I actually did that and it wasn't bad. I tried baby food and that wasn't bad either....just not a lot of protein[emoji4]

I did a lot of yogurt, scrambled eggs. I was like you the first time I tried refried bean I got sick, but I tried them again and had success. I also did pudding and added protein powder to it. Applesauce with protein added

I just started the purée stage yesterday. Cottage cheese, mashed cauliflower, pudding, scrambled egg, & applesauce went well. Meatloaf purée-well, not so good. It felt like a bomb hit my stomach & I was nauseous. I'll keep experimenting.

My question to the group is about amount. I'm taking in 2 oz of Protein rich food + 2 oz of veg/fruit at a mealtime. I've only had liquids up till now. The food tastes SOOO good. I want to eat more but I know it will make me sick & stretch my stomach so I don't....but I want to. I fear 4 oz of food at a mealtime is a tease. Any suggestions on walking away and being satisfied?

Mostly I'm eating scrambled egg, tuna or laughing cow cheese. I have had some chilli that was pureed which wasn't bad. I also had summer porridge ( quick oats with greek yogurt and a little milk out in the fridge overnight.

As for portions well I can barely get down 1/2 a scrambled egg

Why?

Regular food is more nutritious and tastes better.

Not sure I just thought it would be easier

You could add no flavor Protein to it ????

I made egg salad and it was pretty good and tolerable. Also turkey chili, cauliflower Soup using riced cauliflower and blended Beans to use as a base with some bone broth added. I am slowly experimenting to keep the next few weeks interesting. My NUT encouraged us to stay away from baby food and we were given an extensive list and ideas of what we should eat going through the nutritional classes.
