Refried Beans is another option. I'd add a load of fire sauce and then some Greek yogurt on the side, in place of sour cream, since you can't have cheese. I have an unnatural love affair of all things hot and spicy. I hope I can still eat spicy stuffies after the bypass.

I can't do Beans until next stage, I'm very limited. Different states and different drs have separate plans grrrrr

A lot of Soups are just purées anyway like pumpkin, potato, Tomato, cream of chicken, etc. soups. I’d make my own & purée just l did when I usually made them. Make a slow cooked chicken & vegetable Soup (use chicken on the bone). Strain it & eat the broth. Strain any purchased soups just to make sure there’s no chunky or fibrous bits like herbs. Add some unflavoured Protein Powder to the vegetable soups. Try scrambled eggs made with a little more milk so they’re sloppier. You can blend them a little if still a little dense. Mash a boiled egg with low fat mayo.

Baby food can be tasteless to adults because of the low salt & sugar content. Babies haven’t developed an addiction/desire for salt & sugar yet.

Can't you just stick some cooked broccoli, gorgonzola and a little boiling Water in a blender and tell me how you feel?

Puréed sweet Potato’s, mashed potatoes and gravy, Campbells Tomato Soup, refried Beans smooth with a little nacho liquid sauce. Puréed Campbells cream of mushroom Soup looks and tastes normal. Add Protein to get your levels you need!! Heck of a lot easier than bland liquid month!!

But it does Suck!

This stage kinda sucks, there is not much to eat and I have no imagination for anything new any ideas???? I eat no fat yogurt, broth, Jello, pudding, not many Soups cas I'm not doing pureed Soup that is just gross 🤢, I have until the end of the month on this diet and it's getting super blah!!!!

You are so right! I found that stage the most frustrating! I survived off of plain greek yogurt and adding some powder Protein and a little bit of Water to make it less thick, it helped me get my protein in, which was a huge struggle for me in this stage. I also ate mashed potatoes with again, plain greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute, and I enjoyed refried black Beans as another great source of protein. Good luck to you! You've got this. :)

I sure felt like a whiney baby post-op. My surgeon said no baby food. Babies have different nutritional needs than adults.

pureed options are easy. Let's see, what did I puree? Prime rib, Thai chicken, Curry chicken, Chicken alfreado. The list goes on and on, I ate my favorite Proteins and big flavor foods.

Good luck,

Tek

Can anyone recommend a good unflavored Protein powder? I bought the Nutricost unflavored powder and it doesn't mix well at all. Very foamy, chunks of powder whether I use a spoon, shaker or blender. Very frustrated. Trying to get refund from manufacturer. Any other types you'd recommend?

I use the Vital Proteins with collagen. 18 grams of Protein with two scoops. It's a fine powder, unflavored, that can be mixed with anything. My only complaint is that it clumps a bit in cold liquids, but it completely dissolves in warm liquid. I do a lot of chicken bouillon with the protein powder, protein hot chocolate mix (zero sugar of course). It's on Amazon, blue container.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
