Difficulty transitioning into puree, any advice pls.



Recommended Posts

3wks after surgery I am suppose to be in a puree diet but it is had to get it down. One tsp of yogurt I am so full for hrs, I can't finish a whole egg. I find comfort still with liquids and I have been sticking to it to get down my Protein in take and Water for hydration. Anybody with this same issues pls. Lost 21Ib.

You need to speak to your team about this as they are the best people to ask.

Perhaps your body isnt ready for pureed foods yet and they will be able to guide you on how to transition to foods. Its a bit of a shock isn't it, feeling that ristriction! However its really early days for you, your stomach is healing so dont overly worry. Keep up with the fluids and Protein drinks and give them a call.

Oh and Congratulations :D

I'm nearing 4 week out and I really struggle with putting any puréed foods in. I absolutely hate the feeling in my stomach for hours after having eaten. To the point that it makes me cry and regret the surgery. I fear I will always feel this uncomfortable sensation and never feel they way I used to again. I'm having a huge emotional crisis over this.

I'm 11 days post op. I had vsg in Mexico, my doctor didn't really give me a good plan, but my coordinator just told me 2 weeks of liquids, 2 weeks purée she said I should be able to eat almost everything except bread, alcohol, at thanksgiving, I've had yogurt egg drop Soup, chiken pea Soup, jellos. What has I believed really helped my stomach is kiefer (probiotic) no flavor with a little honey and I feel like it's just helps I have had 2 very small bowel movement.

My doc said don't push yourself with advancing the diet, you can get enough nutrition with full liquids so if at any point you're struggling just go back to that for a while. Maybe you're just not ready!

Screw the puree. Eat Soups. The sight of puree food made me sick.

This is what I relied on also. I couldn't deal with puréed meat. Soups and Protein shakes got me through this stage.

Shelly has a pot roast recipe. It's great bc it will feed your family dinner, but you can take broth and whizz it up. I put it on top of mashed up potatoes, and it just looked like shepards pie.

I don't eat potatoes now, but that saved me in purees. Great flavor.

I'm almost 5 weeks and I still can't eat a whole egg. I can pretty much eat anything (I'm on full foods now) but I feel full quickly which is normal. If it feels better to stay on liquids than that's ok. Don't move forward if your body isn't ready. And your team wouldn't/shouldn't progress you if you're not comfortable.

I had my surgery 10/10 and have finally started to figure outwhy i was haing this difficulty. Though i thought i was eating slow it wasnt slow enough. I actualy put my fork down now and wait a minute between bites. It has made a big difference

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
