I'm a day shy of 3.5 wks post op (sleeved 5/9). My "puréed" diet has consisted of a variety of things - egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, salmon salad, poached egg, carrot curry puree Soup, Dahl with homemade Raita, Refried Beans with cheese, miso soup with tofu (no seaweed), etc. I've not had any tummy problems - especially if I eat slow and listen to my new tummy's satiety signals. I'm supposed to move on to soft foods next week (but sort of already doing that I guess).

I'm interested in trying edamame (chewed well) and the meat from artichoke leaves.

Thoughts?

I'm only a week and a day after surgery so I don't know, but have you ever made hummus from edamame? The consistency would be about right.

They sell a delicious Edamame hummus.

I had both of them in my soft food stage.

I eat what I want with the exception of rice, Pasta, bread, lettuce. I eat a lot of hummus. chicken breast. No red meat yet or sweets or fruit. But other than that, lol. I'm four weeks post op. See my nut next week.

Sean, I started soft foods yesterday. I've tried egg but mostly just do cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I did do some squished avocado this evening and it was fine. I honestly would be fine on pp shakes and Popsicles. How are you doing?

I am 12 weeks RNY post op. I had artichoke meat during soft food stage and was such a nice change. I have had again since then, half an artichoke is my limit.

I am at end of week 1 soft stage and tonight tried a small artichoke. I should have stopped at the leaves and saved the heart for tomorrow.

You may struggle with vegetables that soon out unless they’re really well cooked. I’d add carrots, onions, celery, tomato, cauliflower, mushrooms, to soups, stews, etc. anything slow cooked from soft food. They’d be very soft & mushy. In solid food I found I could tolerate a little microwaved/steamed shredded cabbage or cauliflower, then green beans. Other vegetables were too coarse or tasted unpleasant for a few more weeks. But we’re all different. You can only try.
