I was sleeved in 12/19 and was told last week that I could start the puréed phase which I was super excited about! However I think I'm doing it al wrong. I made meatloaf for the fam and smashed mine and ate mash potato with it. Next day I made grilled chicken that I put in my mini bullet with some fat free cheese and afresh sauce. But I feel like I'm eating stuff that I am not supposed to. Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes?

Today I made an awesome refried bean puree. Put half a can in the processor with 1/3 can beef broth, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and cheese. Heated it up and ate about 1/2 cup. I've also been enjoying yogurt! I just recently entered the puree phase.

Google "The World According to Eggface" for some bariatric appropriate uses of food on the puree stage. There is a lot you can do with high Protein meats, such as chicken, fish(was my favorite on that stage). Well done veggies mashed up/pureed. Mashed cauliflower tastes good and is healthy too. A lot of people puree black, kidney or pinto Beans and add a bit of sour cream and cheese...another high Protein option.

Sounds to me like you're doing just fine as long as you're getting enough protien, and it seems you are. Try to style clear of potatoes, though. I know they are on some surgeons plan on the puréed stage, but why? We are discouraged from eating them further out post op, so why even go there? Many better alternatives.

I was sleeved 12/13 and was told to make all food baby food consistency. My focus is suppose to be Protein so I am not eating any carbs and only adding broth or sauce to bring to the right consistency.

How much are you eating of each? I am only able to get about 1/3 a cup per meal

I have no idea. I just know that I can have maybe 2-3 1/2 teaspoons of food before I start feeling pain.... I think I'm eating 2-3 times a day if that. I'm having such difficulty tryin to stay on track. The only thing I make sure I do have is at least one bottle of Protein shake.

What you are eating doesn't sound too bad to me, it sounds like you are getting your Protein in. I start purée in two days, I found the ricotta bake recipe I want to try. I am a bit leery of puréed meats so not sure how well I will do with that but we will see

Cottage cheese is easily tolerable. I also ate Greek yogurt, a little non-fat refried Beans with plain yogurt on top. Ricotta bake is good but don't go too heavy on the sauce because it may cause more acid this early out. I didn't get very adventurous as I was still trying to adjust to food being in my stomach.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
