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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
