I’m post op 17 days from my bypass and am starting my puréed diet..Im finding it very hard to eat any of the foods listed..they do state to eat three meals a day which consist of 2-3 oz of protein a day..and 1/4 cup puréed fruit. This is in addition to
The daily water and milk products I’ve already been consuming the first two weeks. I take 2 bites and I feel full..I’m scared to eat to much here..and stretch my stomach...how have others been handling this phase of their diets?

So I am only at Day 10 and don't start puree until next week but my dietician gave me a list of bariatric approved canned soups and I was going to throw them in the blender. That way you get protein and veggies etc and pureed.

That’s a great idea!

My nutritionist suggested pureed chili. So I got a can of Dennison's Turkey Chili w beans and blendedit up. Also pureed cauliflower with some salt and prp. Tastes like runny mashed potatoes.

Yogurt (plain or sugar-free, low or nonfat, blended without fruit chunks)
Strained cream soups (celery, potato, mushroom, or chicken made with skim milk)

Pureed vegetables (puree ¼ cup vegetable with water or broth), unsweetened applesauce, refried beans

I’ve heard people buy the baby food and for extra protein, mix unflavored protein powder in it.

Lentils or Dal are super great for protein. You can mix anything with it and it makes a great meal. I throw taco seasoning in lol, or cook it in a traditional Indian recipe. It’s so tasty

I see refried beans mentioned a lot when people are discussing the pureed stage. My crass questions is, don't we have bad enough gas..?

I mean if you guys say it's not so bad I'll grab some for post op, but ... you know what I mean.
