Puree Diet Gone Wrong...

[msnecee 4]

Hi everyone, I am officially 17 days post op and I am unable to do the puree diet at all. Every time I try anything puree, I end up in the bathroom. I have spoken to my nutritionist about it and she wants me to keep trying different things. She even suggested tuna fish and chicken salad and its not working either. So I am at a lost right now. I am currently back to my full liquids and eating mashed potatoes or grits since they are considered soft foods and my nutritionist gave me the okay. Can anyone make any recommendations for me please???

Yes I have had runny stool. I have not spoken to the doctor yet about the fiber but I did see where someone used Benefiber to help regulate them. But I will contact my doctor to talk about the fiber intake.

Poor thing. Have you tried just putting unflavored Protein powder in your mashed potatoes and grits just to make sure you're getting enough?

Have you tried refried Beans and a little cheese?

I skipped the puree stage and stayed in full liquids longer. The thought of pureeing food was not appealing. Only thing I added was the ricotta bake and refried Beans with cheese.< /p>

No I have just been doing the Premier Protein but I was just told by my nutritionist today to try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I am not a big Beans fan. I am trying to do the mashed potatoes in moderations due to the carbs but I really need to come up with something else to help. Thanks for the suggestions. Although I am not a beans fan, I have noticed that my taste buds are a lot different so I may try the refried beans and cheese and see if they work.

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I did try to do the puree stage but its not working so I am thinking of going back to the full liquids.

It's ok everyone takes time to heal differently. Your body will know when it's ready to accept a little heavier foods. I think I will end up like that as well. I'm about 10 days post opp and all I can have is apple sauce and Water without feeling sick. Good luck lol!

No I have just been doing the Premier Protein but I was just told by my nutritionist today to try unjury. I am not a big Beans fan.

Although I am not a beans fan, I have noticed that my taste buds are a lot different so I may try the refried beans and cheese and see if they work.

Suggestion: Get just a sample of the Unjury, because Unjury smells and taste disgusting... to me anyway.
