Well, I finally have everything scheduled. I have to be at the hospital at 11:20 on 8/29, surgery is at 1:20. I'm super excited and super nervous. I've done well on the preop diet so far but could anyone give me some suggestions about food for the liquid and puréed stage? I'm going to shop some tomorrow and just a need some ideas.

check out eggface's blog - I got most of my ideas from her. She has a ton of recipes on there (for all stages):

For the liquid stage I relied on Water, sugar free Jello and broth. For puree I used organic baby food and blended oatmeal with a little milk. Because I was feeding a very small stomach, I didn't need to purchase much. Good luck on your surgery and your recovery. Having the bypass has been an very good experience for me.

Thank you!! I'll be sure to stock up on jello. I have tons of broth and the oatmeal sounds so good. I can't wait until regular foods again lol. I'd do just about anything for a piece of baked chicken.

Congratulations!

Clear liquids - Homemade chicken broth, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, crystal light, Water. They also had me mix 1/2 apple juice with 1/2 water for that first week.

Full Liquids - all of the above, creamed strained Soups, Protein shakes, Greek yogurt, cream of wheat made very thin

pureed - I had a tough time with this stage. I could not tolerate and still cannot eggs, I had a hard time with pureed chicken and turkey and I am alergic to legumes/beans. So I lived on cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and all of the stuff from above. I also had very soft cooked veggies like carrots that I would mash up with a fork. I was also allowed sweet potato and had it once.

Wow, hopefully at some point, you can tolerate some of that again. Thank you for all of the advice
