Hello everyone! I am new to this site. I am 11 days post op and feeling good. I do however have a problem figureing out what to eat (puree) when I do feel hungary. I was released from the hospital on pureed food and doc said thats what I should eat... Any suggestions? Thanks!

Bonnie. Congrats on your surgery! And welcome to the loser side. Sorry I have no suggestions on pureed foods for you. My doctor didn't do those. There are some cook books though on Amazon that have reciepe's for WLS patients, and some of them have recipes for pureed food as well. I would say to stay away from citrus foods like tomatoes, oranges, pineapple for a while as they can cause ulcers or tears early on.

I was told anything you can mash with your fork; beans, cottage cheese, tuna/chicken salad with extra mayonnaise, piece of banana, puddings, yams. I even ate string cheese, blended up stew, deli turkey slices.....hope this helps.
