Potted meat on the purée stage?



Recommended Posts

Could a guy eat potted meat on the purée stage? I've never tried it but after 2 weeks of shakes I'm ready for any kind of meat

That's not meat...don't do it! At least look at the nutrition information first...I don't think it's good for anyone to eat it.

@@Cander, if you've cooked up some pot roast or braised beef or similar and you weren't told not to eat meate by your surgery practice, there's no reason not to purée it. Real purée, that is, not chopped into little chunks. Use some of the aromatics and the gravy or likwid from the pot to ease the process and the eating. How much you'll like it or chicken, et al., is another topic.

(@@justhere4theshow, what are you warning Cander away from? I'm trying to guess.)

As @@Aggiemae said, I would puree some good quality chicken with low fat gravy rather than eating out of a tin/jar.

Just my opinion :D

The sodium content is insane and the fat is horrible (and it's saturated fat so nothing at all good) and as much as I used to love potted meat (grew up on it so doesn't gross me out) I will never buy it again.

You really, really really need to get in the habit of reading nutrition labels ASAP. High carb? Steer clear. High fat (especially satuated fat). Big nope. Sky high sodium? Hell no!

You want things that are healthy to eat, and that does generally mean things closer to whole (not processed out the wazoo) food. Canned chicken or tuna fish with a bit of mayo and some sugar free pickle relish (Kroger sells the relish) was a life saver for me.

Or try some baked white fish with a lemon butter garlic sauce (lots of recipes out there). I also dust it with blackening seasoning or even a tiny bit of cayanne pepper for an extra kick. The fish is super soft and easy to eat and is great for lean Protein (and real butter is fine in moderation... much better for you than the processed junk like margarine). I love tilapia or swai fish and it is so easy to throw together and eat on it for several meals.

Moderate healthy fats, high Protein (lean meats), and later on healthy veggies and complex carbs in moderation.

Potted meat....that is a fancy name for something I would not feed to my dog. :blink:

Good grief, I didn't know that there's a manufactured thing. To me, potted meat is in the realm of pot roast -- real food. The terms of the Geneva Conventions surely prohibit as torture the mechanical separation of chickens.

Thanks for the education. You've made my eyes cross.

@@Cander, don't do it!

A soft baked white fish, like Swai, was a lifesaver for me during that stage. Bake with lemon juice and fork it a bit to the desired texture.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
