Hi, just had to share my new pantry of full liquid foods. Ready for surgery tomorrow ?. Any suggestions for additions or for puree stage foods in a couple of weeks from now?

Oh best of luck for tomorrow! Looks like you're well prepared. The first few days can be difficult - it's drink, drink, drink.

I didn't rely on protein shakes once I went onto purees - I just pureed whole meals (some more successfully than others, LOL). Meat/veg/carbs meals were my favourites - my first pureed Sunday roast dinner felt like the nicest and tastiest thing I had eaten in months.

In no time at all you'll be seeing big losses. Good luck on your journey.

When it came to purée foods I had to stick with foods that are supposed to be purée because I have issues with consistency but for people who don’t you can have a lot more variety. You can purée almost anything. Just add more sauce or gravy to thin it even more in the beginning and be creative with flavors.

Thanks Spinoza!

Good luck today. I will be thinking about you

Good luck today and let us know how you get on

Don't stock up too much--your tastebuds can change and a lot of people grow to hate their first post-surgery picks because they associate it with feeling lousy.

I hope you're doing okay today!! ?

My favorite puree dinner was Costco rotisserie chicken, low sodium black beans & chicken stock. I threw it all in the blender & it was delicious!!

PLS let us know how you feel!

Hi! Surgery went well, they found hiatal hernia and fixed it. Drinking clear fluids was fine yesterday so will go home today?

Welcome to your new life. Glad it's gone well for you so far. ?

One of the big recipes you’ll find in the pureed stage is for a ricotta bake. While the ricotta bake is good, I found that cottage cheese with marinara warmed up in the microwave was much easier and super tasty. I also found Turkey chili to be a satisfying, comforting pureed food in the cold weather.
