I had surgery on December 6th..and I'm on pureed foods. Looking forward I'm trying to figure out what types of recipes you all found were appetizing when you get to the soft solids or the solid stage. My dr goes with the South Beach diet but a lot of those recipes don't seem appealing. Suggestions? :)

Glad to see you are out. Did you do out patient or did you stay over night? I am worried just a little because I am doing outpatient and I am not sure what to expect overnight while at home without nurses checking on me.

I was in the hospital for 2 nights...but if you're going home just make sure that you have what you think you will need during the night near you, Water, ice, premeasured pain meds etc I'm sure you'll do fine!!

Only 6 days after the surgery and already on purée stage! You are doing great! I made soups: fish Soup, mushroom soup, you can have egg salad, tuna salad. I also made meatballs. You can have a lot of varieties, just make sure your food has Protein. Let me know which recipe will interest you, I will send to you.

Thanks! I can really eat all that puree or is that all soft solid?

Day six on puréed? I don't begin puréed until 2 weeks.

I'm on Clear liquids day 1-3, full liquids day 3-14, then puréed 2-4 weeks. I have a sample menu of puréed diet given by my nutritionist.

      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!!
