I'm totally hating this puree stage of this diet...I can't even fathom most foods being pureed and appealing...I did make pinto beans and made refried beans...that's about the only thing besides my shakes that I find I can bare...I need more protein and the shakes are so old...I'm only one week post-op and still have three weeks on this crazy diet....[emoji13]

I'm a week out and I am surviving off Protein shakes, sugar free popsicles, Water, and crystal lite. I don't want anything puréed. The look of puréed food discuss me. I will just wait to soft foods and I could have soft foods at 14 days out. 7 days left. I can't wait!

Oh you're so lucky...my Dr. has me on month of puree, then one month of soft food and then I'll feel like I've been freed from diet jail...lol..not meaning I'm just gonna eat whatever but at least I've been trained to all the sugarfree and no fat stuff...just mean I won't have to put do much thought into every single thing I eat...my hospital gave me two stainless steel 2ounce cups that have been a life saver..I've felt full on that when I do eat...good luck to us...I know I must remember to keep my eye on the prize which is my goal weight...lol

Did the 2oz cups help? Is that about how much you're able to eat?

Yes, that's all I can eat at one setting...I'm not over full or hungry...it's hard to wait the 30 minutes to drink and most of the time I don't but I also found some protein water that's pretty good...I drink the carnation sugar free chocolate powder with fat free milk and it really taste like chocolate milk...lol

Thanks! I'm trying to find things that will make my life easier after surgery. I have small rocks outside of my house and I'm looking for backless sneakers cause I'm sure I won't be able to tie my shoes right after and I won't be able to walk the rocks in my slippers. I've also been told to get myself a heating pad and a riser for my toilet. Any other suggestions?

Maybe a dumb question...and my doctor doesn't have a difference but what's the different between purée and soft foods? Just curious!

One is put in a blender and one isn't.. some things I just can't but into a blender and eat, it looks gross.. but some things could be fit both stages like mashed potatoes and stuff like that...

My dr. told me no heating pad bc the heat on the fresh incisions could cause them to become infected...so I used gel ice packs for the first three days almost all day while awake...it helped so much..it seemed anything I ate or drank at that time caused my stomach to hurt...I'm 7 days out as of today and I haven't felt better, hurts to bend over, so I bend my knees to pick up stuff...I drove for the first time in a week, went shopping for four hours...made sure to take a Protein shake and water...I was definitely pooped and ready to chill...

All good things to know. Thank you so much

Do you have to add Protein powder to those things?

Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

My doctor didn't add Protein shakes to my 7day liquid, I can't drink Protein Shakes until I'm on soft foods

It was explained to me that purée is no thicker than the consistency of applesauce and soft is what you can smash with a fork. I can't do scrambled eggs till soft foods. I want an egg so bad.

You can purée your scrambled egg.... don't think I can hack that, unless I added mayo or ranch maybe have it kinda taste like egg salad
