What to avoid on purée?



Recommended Posts

I go to the Dr tomorrow for my first follow-up. If all goes well, he should advance me to purée for 2 weeks. Is there anything I should avoid? Anything I should try?

Go slow and very slow. I would start with the basic purees Soups and soft foods pureed - One thing i can tell you for sure many here have F#$cked up and pushed it. Let you body decide what is ready for

I would start with Egg drop Soup pureed and Lentil soup pureed

Avoid all creamy things for the next few weeks

I agree with AJ. I think the biggest mistake is to get too excited and push yourself. Sleeve doesn't have as long of a puree period as the switch, but it's still important to go slow and try new things one at a time. For me, the only thing that I really couldn't do were things with heavy sauces, like many Italian dishes.

Um, I was on pureed on week 2 and the Ricotta Bake was one of my favorites to eat on my ONE WEEK of pureed. I was on soft foods for two weeks and then general diet. Every doc is different. And I had, literally, no issue with the Ricotta Bake.

So the Ricotta Bake is purée? It seemed like a soft food for me.

Yeah, I think my Dr is super conservative. liquids 2 weeks, purée 2 weeks, very soft 4 weeks.

My doctor recommended the Ricotta Bake for puree and it was delicious. But, again, every doctor is different. I felt I was eating normal again with it lol. Though I also would have pureed tuna and chicken as well. And yogurt (no need for puree for that)

Yeah, not only are all doctors different, but every patient is, too. My girlfriend had the sleeve a week after my surgery and she loved the ricotta bake and I couldn't stomach it. That's why I just say to try things slowly.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
