Had my sleeve 8/31. Came home on puréed foods . My surgeon and nut said I should have 3 oz of food 3 times a day with 8oz of Protein shake in between if I can tolerate it. I have no appetite at all . Yesterday I had a meatball I mushed it and it took me over an hour but I did eat it. Needless to say I didn't get the shake in because I was full. I feel like I want to try Peanut Butter it smells good although it has a lot of protein it also has a lot of fat. Did anyone have peanut butter on puréed ?? Is it bad at this stage .

I would hold off on peant butter so soon. It is sticky and will cause your stomach to churn a lot to digest it. And, get your protein in first with the shakes or protein supplemented liquids. You won't be able to reach your goals otherwise.

@@bellabeans A meatball is kind of heavy. Try things like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, ricotta bake, creamed/strained soups, etc. Your fluids and protein (shakes) are what's most important right now.

My Peanut Butter craving was satisfied by adding a little PB2 to my shakes.

You won't be "hungry" for a while but try to keep your meals to 30 mins. We can eat anything if we stretch it out. I had meatloaf on my puréed stage. I put it in my mini chopper and ate it with a little bit of mashed potatoes. I wasn't able to eat more than 1/4 cup overall.

If it helps you to stay on a schedule there are tons of examples online. It was the only way I could get my liquid and Protein in during those early days. I set my Fitbit to remind me to eat but there are apps like Baritastic that have timers.

It took me 2 hours to drink my shakes. My stage 3 is pureed Protein and they told me it would take 30-45 minutes to eat my food and it does!
