Post-surgery pantry



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
