Can I start my purée stage a day early??



Recommended Posts

I have been soooo good with my broth and shakes, I am honestly just craving the ability to chew food, or a change in texture.

Would it be the worse thing in the world to start my purée stage and Vitamins a day early??

I did bc my stomach felt ready but I did eat really slowly. I didn't do well with eggs for several weeks.

I’d follow your plan

I doubt one day will hurt anything, but it's also a good idea to follow the surgeon's plan.

I started mine 5 days early. I really had a tough time ummm, not eating anything after the surgery! Do it slow if you're going to do it, and in little amounts and watch how your body react.

Three women in my surgical group did and they said it was a-ok.

I was just thinking the same! I'm supposed to start pureed on Thursday but I can't take it anymore, I'm going to try scrambled eggs tomorrow.

a precaution on scrambled eggs... they are considered a soft under a lot of plans and not a puree. My first few times on scrambled eggs were pretty rough. If you have not experienced restriction yet go very slow if you absolutely must.

YES! I wish I would have known this sooner. I tried scrambled eggs for Breakfast and barely finished my 2oz serving and felt sick. It just didn't settle well at all. I'm trying cottage cheese now (which I hated prior to surgery) and it's surprisingly good and settling a lot better.

Cottage cheese is life. I have a cup every single day. I never bought it pre-op, but now I am obsessed with it.

You can puree up some hardboiled eggs w/ mayo/mustard for egg salad as an option. Scrambled eggs were more difficult.

Revisit in a few days it will get easier. The wet kind seem to go down easier. Enjoy that restriction feeling.

Also something I tolerated well during puree was beanless chili. I bought 2oz baby food storage containers off Amazon and pre-portioned out cans of it. Annnnnd now I want chili. lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
