? Hey all! I’m Char!

My surgery for gastric bypass is booked for 12 dec yey!

My surgeon said “that means purée for Christmas dinner!”.

Who else is in the Christmas purée club? Any recipes or ideas to get through the holiday season?

Mine is scheduled for November 8, so I'll be on puree for Thanksgiving. I am going to make mashed sweet potatoes.

WOOHOO! Congratulations.

You can puree anything, you may just have to add some sauce or gravy to it to thin it out a bit.

Get creative, have fun and enjoy!

December 5th for me. Hoping for a great start to the new year. Good Luck all

Personally I wouldn’t want to try anything new on Christmas and risk spending half the day feeling sick. You can in theory puree anything though. I have a thing with consistency so I stuck to things that are supposed to be that way like mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. I have heard a lot of people doing pumpkin purée at thanksgiving but I would wonder about the sugar in that (may want to check with your team). They also come up with a lot of seasonal yogurts and protein shakes that could help satisfy the need for something festive.

the christmas holiday has so many wonderful flavors and textures you will have exciting options!!

you are giving an amazing gift to yourself for christmas

I will have surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving, so if I'm lucky I get to have a pumkin spice protein shake [emoji39]

I have seen a lot of people do refried beans, chicken salad, baked ricotta and mashes for the pureed stage, you can search pinterest for some ideas

I pureed all my family dinners at my puree stage (and loved them, LOL) but I was out of that onto soft food in time for the holidays. You'll be fine and back on solids in no time. Good luck!

Thanks everyone I’m really excited.

I’m going to try and prep some nice purée. Meals to try over the holidays so I have something to go to.

glad to hear that are others having December surgery happy Christmas to us!! ❤️‍?
