Hi I should be on purees by Wednesday or Thursday. My husband had his sleeve surgery done on 2017 and told me he struggled about a week with purees. He is also kind of picky. Did you have trouble?

Oh yeah. Everything seemed to taste terrible & the texture was unpalatable too. I had a very limited diet through this stage. Thank goodness a friend told me she’d poach chicken breast then purée it with lots of gravy. (The salt in the gravy probably made it more tolerable.) I ate a lot of Soup & porridge. It was a long two weeks before I could start on soft foods & was able to eat mince & slow cooked stews.

I didn't mind it. It was a relief to eat real food again, even if it was pureed. I ate pureed omelets, pureed cottage cheese, hummus, some kind of baked spinach/feta cheese dish, and pureed "ricotta bake" (from "The World According to Eggface" blog - which is worth checking out for lots of recipes for all stages)

I didn't mind it. After two weeks on all liquids, eating yogurt and pureed Beans was a treat! Some people eat pureed cooked chicken, but that looks gross to me, so I waited until the soft food stage to eat meat. Here are some of the things I ate during the pureed stage:

  • Fat-free, sugar-free yogurt with Protein Powder
  • Sugar-free pudding with Protein powder
  • No sugar added applesauce with protein powder
  • Protein oatmeal (from the BariatricPal store) with protein powder
  • Pureed fat-free refried beans with protein powder, topped with enchilada sauce and Laughing Cow cheese
  • Mashed cauliflower with protein powder, topped with gravy
  • Pureed black bean Soup with protein powder

I had a bit of a tough time with it. I'm not a picky eater when it comes to different types of foods, but I'm very picky about how things look and the texture. And I can't eat something pureed, like meat, that isn't normally pureed. I just can't bring myself to do it. I survived by eating already pureed type foods like applesauce. After that week things got SO much easier!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
