Okay, I decided to eat one meal a day that is pureed instead of staying on liquids another week. Tonight's meal was blended brussel sprouts and chicken. It tasted amazing! I don't think I have ever eaten brussel sprouts before but they sounded so good when I was at the store. I am so glad I did. This seems like a lot of food. Three weeks ago I would have been like, this is a joke right?

I'm happy for you that you liked it and it went down well-- I love brussel sprouts, eat them often and I know they can cause bloating. Just an FYI in case you end up a little crampy later. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I haven't attempted them yet for that reason.

Hi! Hard to believe it’s only been 2 weeks today as I have been back to work a week already. But yesterday I started the puréed stage and was afraid to try anything at work other than yogurt. They said to spit out the chunks of fruit (or I could blended it more but not at work. I have 2T of oatmeal with Protein Powder and my almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy) so tonight is my big night... puréed chicken with a little broth for moisture.... funny... I’ve been “craving” broccoli lol I did have the boxed organic type during the full liquids...

so far I have been doing awesome with things except Water and sleep lol but I’m hoping with a little more time that will get better.

I love brussel sprouts... I hadn’t thought of those!!! Sounds good!!

Love hearing how you are doing.

Congrats. You gotta do you. But hate to break it to you girlfriend, the chicken would be considered chopped fine, perhaps soft mechanical, but it def isn't pureed. Pureed would be to add a bit of gravy or broth and wazz it until it looks like smooth pate or baby food. Make sure to chew the crap out of it!!

@Cowgirl12 This here. The OP. The chicken is not a puree...just sayin', so I'd really chew the crap outta it! Cuz she's advancing her program to soft foods rather than purees--and my do that. I'm just probably making a pointless comment.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
