2 weeks post rny surgery - getting ready to start pureed
Hello all.I've made it through the first 2 weeks post surgery and about to start pureed. I did well with cottage cheese (2 tbsp at a time), soup, apple sauce, sugar free yogurt, cream of wheat (2- 3 tbsp with milk),the basics and having 3 baby size spoonfuls and then waiting 5 minutes to continue.
I'm kind of nervous moving on to the next step, not sure what I should try first. I guess pureed fruit/veg - its the meat and egg I am worried will be hard.
Anyone have suggestions, what worked for them?
Thanks! Sunny
Check out the World According to Eggface. She has lots of recipes for the different stages. I loved the Ricotta Bake. It tasted great and I had no issues with it. Glad you are doing well.

Hi,
I went through TWH as well. I just chose to focus on protein and omit the veg and fruit for a long time.
If you're comfortable with eating those things by all means.
I didn't have problems with any foods. I also didn't puree anything, I took really small bites and chewed very well.
I ate scrambled eggs, yogurt, tuna, chili, and supplemented with Premier Protein RTD shakes. Oh I also had shepperds pie early out, so yes, a tiny bit of potato just to hold the meat together a little.
Great, thanks for the info! Will start to introduce tomorrow one new thing at a time and see how it goes. I'm probably being extra cautious, but I had a really bad time after my 2nd C-section, where I ate too soon after surgery and my bowels shut down. Really would prefer to avoid bad reactions!
Also, congrats on your weight loss too!
