Puréed and soft foods



Recommended Posts

Hi folks. I was sleeved 12/2 and have my first follow up appt tomorrow. I've been on Clear liquids all week and am expecting to be cleared for puréed and soft foods tomorrow. I'm trying to put together a specific list of items to ask about so I know exactly what my allowances and limitations are. Any suggestions? What have you found is a great choice in this stage?

Refried Beans were my favorite on soft foods. With cheese and sour cream :) Also, yogurt, ricotta bake (do a search, you'll find the recipe), cottage cheese, thicker Soups, flaky fish, scrambled/poached egg. I had some mashed potatoes, too, but some avoid them. I tried to stay away from pudding, although many patients eat it.

You'll love getting off liquids, just take it easy and introduce things slowly!

Woot woot a new phase!

Pay attention to your body sometimes the doctor will release you but your body is not ready.

I didn't start puree until 4 weeks out.I stared with poached eggs. Yogurt. Chili. Get creative.

See? I wish all the doctors would say this same thing! I specifically asked about poached eggs, since they're a favorite of mine, and was told no uncooked yolk. ......sigh..... Frustrating. I will probably just cook them a tiny bit more to bring the temp up without cooking though, then mix them with cottage cheese or something.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
