So excited to start soft/pureed

Ok.  I am just finishing 5 weeks of nothing but shakes.  I am looking forward to eating things that are nothing but artificially sweetened dust.  I am started putting some ideas togther.

1. Scrambled egg whites topped with a little cheeze.

2. Refired beans with cheeze and some spices.

3. Cauliflower mash with egg and cheeze
4. I am actually going to puree the guts of a burrito that I get at the farmers market and trying that in very very small portions.

I have a ton of recipes to try but I also know that I am going to have a lot of restriction and it isn't going to be like eating before.  Well even chewing  a little food will beat drinking 4 shakes a day!

I hope all of the folks that are new losers are recovering well!

Pureed day was the best day of my post-op life :)  Here are the things I ate!  https://www.myvsg.net/2-uncategorised/142-pureed-food-i-ate

What is cheeze?  A fake cheese product of some sort?

Thanks for sharing!

Cheeze is the result of brain fog brought on by protein shakes

I love your website, btw, Gwen!  It has been so helpful!

Thanks! :)

Be careful with the egg, a lot of people seem to have trouble with them early on. I know they made me terribly queasy at first, and I couldn't actually eat them until I was 4 or 5 months in.

Thanks for the warning.  As long as I can have refried beans I will be happy.  I just can't take the sweet yuck of shakes 4 meals a day anymore.

I am nearly four weeks post-op.  I had huge trouble with eggs.  I also was told to hold off on cauli because it can cause gas, so I've not tried it yet. 

Then I tried pork.  Ugh.  It was slow cooked and diced (our soft diet lets us have ground/finely diced soft meats) and...ugh.  Not for a while.  I wound up the sickest I've been since surgery just from pork.

You just pooped in my Christmas stocking.  I was looking forward to pork.  Diced up baked chicken wing worked fine as had pureed chicken burritos without the rice or tortilla.
