Hi gang. Sleeved 7/31/2017. I'm struggling with trying to find stuff I want to eat during the soft mushy stage. I'm a week and a half in out of 4 weeks and while I started with tuna salad and turkey and chicken and fish, I am now grossed out and nauseated at the thought of eating any of that stuff. Can't bring myself to eat chili any more and even cheese. Weird since last week I was okay with all of that. I am craving a salad so bad but don't think I can have that, right? Any suggestions? Even creamy soups are grossing me out.

Maybe you can doctor up some veggies and chicken and put it in a crock pot. Or grind the chicken in a food processor and have it with some soft veggies. I used to like chicken, but it annoys me now, and I had chili one night at a restaurant and was really grossed out. The best meal I made was turkey legs in my crock pot overnight. It shredded it all up and was very tasty. I put veggies in it in the am so they won't be too mushy.

The best thing to do is make sure everything is pureed so you can get your nutrients. All the best!!

I made some delicious low-carb broccoli beef in the slow cooker. Used light sodium soy sauce, and Splenda where it called for a bit of sugar. I cooked it extra long so the beef is just in tiny shreds, also allowed the broccoli to get really soft. I'm dying for crunch, but this has been a great meal to go to. I also made a curry chicken salad using rotisserie chicken and Greek yogurt in place of mayo. The curry seasoning helped mix things up for me. Try searching Pinterest for bariatric recipes--there are a ton of ideas! Good luck.

Have you tried ricotta bake or refried beans with cheese and salsa? Those were two of my go-to meals during my pureed stage.
