So I had the bypass on June 6 and I'm on stage 2 puréed food. My doctors office says if you can tolerate a 1/4 cup of puréed food you can move up to 1/2 cup. If I eat a 1/4 cup I don't feel satisfied but if I eat a 1/2 cup I'm satisfied. My wife is arguing with me cause she sees people on Facebook who can hardly tolerate food or water. I have no issues with water.

I'd be grateful you're not one of those people. If the doc says it's ok I don't see the issue.

Keep following Dr's orders I'm on pureed too but I can only do 1/4 cup at a time.

I'm a tad confused about the puréed diet and would appreciate any advice. My diet calls for 3 oz meals 3 times a day. Ok, this leaves me feeling hungry, weak, and lethargic. My NUT's solution was to just keep it going (so disappointed in her 'advice.'). Anyway, can I still have the 'full liquid' diet between my 3 meals? Full liquid such as split pea and tomatoe soup, Greek yogurt, applesauce, etc?

I had surgery 6/19 and been on puréed for almost a week. Doc told me complete another week for weeks total. He said because I am tolerating foods so well I can move on. But I haven't increased my portion size. Every doc is different. Follow the guidelines but trust your gut too. Best of luck!
