Anyone else having issues with puréed meats? I have such a hard time with the consistency. Any thoughts? I'm 8 days out of gastric bypass surgery.

I'm willing to try things.

I found a low carb, sugar free bbq sauce (dg Hughes) and put it in a crockpot all day with chicken breast. By the end of the day it was soooo soft. Put in the processor to purée. Was delicious, high protein, low carb and filling.

Also, try c.worthy brand salmon (if you like fish) bake 10 minutes. Very soft and can be puréed. 0 carbs and about 29 G protein.

BBQ sauce sounds good. I'll have to look for that. Thank you for the ideas. I wish I ate fish but I don't.

That sounds amazing! I'll have to find this BBQ sauce. Thank you!

You're so right! Even pre-op diets have varied! My pre-op wasn't all liquid like some others. It's too bad you're lactose intolerant. Have you asked your doctor if there's anything like a supplement you can take to make dairy more tolerable? If not, no worries. I'm sure they've given you plenty of other options. I'm personally looking forward to pureed foods starting Tuesday because I made Eggface's ricotta bake and froze it. I just hope I can tolerate it. That and scrambled eggs. I've heard so many haven't tolerated scrambled very well but they can do other forms of egg. I wonder why that is?

Not sure how much truth there is to this but my nut said that many don't do well with scrambled eggs. She said she thinks it has to do with the scrambling part and possibly putting too much air into the eggs and that doesn't sit well in the new pouch. I do hard boil and over medium and that sits just fine. [emoji846]

I could see that, the air in scrambled eggs. Maybe that's why in my instructions it says to scramble them as usual and then purée them before eating. I wonder if people are just eating them business as usual.

I find pureed food disgusting. I tried it a few times and gave up. I went with refried beans, mashed potatoes and some cream soup from the barattic pal store. Filled in the rest with protein drinks.

Scrambled eggs too

I love eggs thank goodness. I make scrambled eggs with lactose free cottage cheese every morning. I'm so happy I tolerated them. I also like them hard boiled and mashed with light mayo.

Funny...I didn't like refried beans pre-op. I bought a can just in case my tastes have changed. We'll see on Tuesday when I switch to pureed foods. Just might be my new favorite thing. [emoji4]

Ugh man I hope I can tolerate scrambled! I love eggs that way! If not, I'll try other ways but it won't be the same.

I'm also looking forward to trying mashed cauliflower. I think the one I bought is the Green Giant brand. I also can't wait to try the ricotta bake. I pre-made it and froze it last week.

I was sleeved 3/15 and I scramble them English style. Use a small saucepan and spray non stick olive oil. Crack egg in saucepan then put stovetop on medium. Constantly stir and when it gets thicker take off heat (constantly stirring) for about 5-10 seconds. Keep doing that until the eggs are soft. I have been eating them since I started purée on Wednesday and haven't had any issues. It's my favorite thing to eat!!! Good luck- let me know if it works for you!

My surgeon says Ricotta Bake is more soft foods so I still have 1 1/2 week for that. Can't wait!!!

I'll try this! I'd hate to not be able to eat them. I love breakfast for dinner! Thank you for this!
