almost time for pureed........

Okay everyone -  what was your first pureed foods and what did you enjoy (or still enjoying) most during that phase?  I have two more days and would love to hear what you had and what worked well.

Good Question...  Tuesday for me too.. liquid diet for a week.  Was told anything that can go through a straw.  Is it possible to turn Pizza in to a liquid in the blender?  ;)  

LOL - pizza is a weakness for me.  My family wanted to bring some home last night and I said no way - bring anything else home, but smelling take out pizza would just be too hard.  I can handle it when they make frozen pizza, but not take out!!

Tuesday is my day too!  I haven't decided if I am going to try oatmeal or eggs first.  I am a little scared about dumping as from what I read each person tolerates things differently and eggs can go either way!

I'm getting a realize band rather than a bypass.  Shouldn't have the dumping problem what I hear.

Too funny. Our nutritionist told us thatone many but hanburgers in the blender and he wondered why he was not losing weight! 

The first thing I ate was eggs. I just made them scrambled though. I read it wrong and didn't realize I was supposed to puree those too. LOL I didn't have any problems i made sure I chewed them really well. I wasn't on pureed foods very long, I started Sat (1 and a half weeks out) and on Tuesday (2 weeks out) I was on soft foods. The one thing that I made that I really liked was the baked ricotta off of eggface's blog. That was so yummy.

My surgeon moves a lot faster than most, but because he is one of the best out there I really trust him. I was in the hospital for 2 days, before I left the hospital they had me on pureed foods. I have been eating puree foods for 3 weeks and just switched to soft foods now. I was told 3-4 weeks or whatever I could tolerate. So, since I have nearly no problems with eating I decided I would take on soft foods this week since Thanksgiving was coming. The things that I enjoyed the most when I was on puree was scrambled eggs with cheese...my partner can make them very soft and smooth and tasty so this was good. I also enjoyed pureed chicken with BBQ sauce, but I can eat a lot of stuff that most people can not.

yummy - chicken with BBQ or Teryaki (sp?) sauce sounds good.  I'll have to go look at the carbs and see if I can use a dab.  On Thanksgiving day I am going to try some low fat gravy pureed with Turkey.
