Let's see... I had chicken curry, chicken alfredo, there was Thai something, even did Mongolian BBQ. Basically I pureed my favorites using the meat and a little sauce for moisture/flavor. Protein first, in quantity at least, it's hard to tell once it's pureed.

I always went for big bang for meals: big flavor, big spice, big heat, small quantity.

Good luck,

Tek

I cook from scratch for my family every day so I just pureed whatever they were having with extra sauce/gravy. My absolute fave from that period was a roast lamb dinner - loads of lamb, some veg, some gravy. Sooooo tasty I still remember it after the bland liquids/shakes phases.

You can purée most things. Just use gravy, stock, milk, yoghurt, mayo, etc. to keep it moist & drop of the spoon consistency. Add herbs & spice to taste.

I was allowed instant rolled oats (with extra milk to keep it thin) & scrambled eggs (again with extra milk so very soft). I also mashed boiled eggs, & puréed tinned salmon with Mayo (though it tasted pretty revolting). Also puréed very slow cooked meat & vegetable Soups. I also ate yoghurt & drank yoghurt drinks. Friend swore she ate puréed chicken with gravy every day. It may come down to what tastes ok to you (I threw out the salmon).

You know, sometimes we eat what we are supposed to, and sometimes we eat what we need to HAVE, LOL! Instant mashed potatoes, refried Beans with some cheese never hurt my stomach. Plain old Campbell's Tomato Soup is still in my rotation, and I am 5 months out. Egs, prepared any way, even hard boiled, as those can be chewed down. Sometimes I eat something I shouldn't, and it lets me know, and I retreat back to these old standbys. You'll find your faves....

thanks this is reassuring!!! I’m dreaming of the day I can eat something other than SF Jello lol 🤣 I did just order some stuff to prepare so I’m excited to find some of my faves like you mentioned.

today I had SF pudding for the first time and oddly wasn’t as satisfying as I thought it might be

      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!!
