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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
