Post op- puréed protein ideas



Recommended Posts

Hey guys!
So I finished the phase of full liquid and am now in the pureed Protein phase. Looking for some recipe/food ideas. I’m basically still just having Protein Drinks, yogurt, Soup and hummus.
It’s just kinda boring lol.

Thanks for the help!:)

Here is mine every day

1. Premier Protein vanilla about 3/4 in a Nutra Blend Top

2 One scoop of GNC 50 plus Vitamin powder

2. Two packs of Stevi Sweetner

3. a Scoop of ice

5. Flavor - 5 bluebeerys, Dry Peanut Butter, strawberry or peach just a little

7. One Heaping Tablespoon of Greek Yogurt -

Tastes like a smoothie and goes down easy and loaded with Vitamins and Minerals -

Honestly? Embrace boring. Embrace eating simply and very small. Encourage food apathy where you just barely eat to fill the small real estate you have. Get busy learning new things! Pick a hobby. Add a creative activity. This is the time when it's SUPPOSED to be boring and routine and easy. You want to ideally kinda break up with your fixation for food and for truly slap-your-mama appealing cuisine.

I quit the Food Netwook, Food Channel, commercials, cooking mags, cook books, etc until I was well into my routine and new life.

I went from full liquids to mushies (fork tender and chew to puree) skipping puree state but I ate:

yogurt

cottage cheese

canned chicken and chicken gravy (low cal, low carb, low fat)

roasted smashed cauli with chicken gravy (low cal, low carb, low fat)

turkey lunch meat (Hillshire Farms)

tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad whizzed until chopped very fine and very wet with Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard

sf Jello

sf popsicles

pumpkin puree "refried" in a tiny bit of ghee for flavor

Protein pudding

protein drinks

homemade Bone Broth defatted

cream Soups with protein added to it

green smoothies made with high protein milk, Protein Powder, frozen spinach, frozen blueberries, greek yogurt

mocha and peppermint frappacinos made with protein powder, decaff coffee, ice, sf Torani peppermint and chocolate syrups

And the time passed so quickly...

      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!!
