Okay so I can't wait until Wednesday when I will be two weeks out.  I am so excited to start the next stage.  Any of you guys have anything that has been working really well for you? I know it's pureed foods but any ideas would be great. I am so tired of the jell-o, pudding, and broth..lol Thanks, MIchelle D.

Hey Michelle! I hear ya on the jell-o thing. I had SO much jello during my pre-op diet, that I haven't touched the stuff since I had surgery!lol. I have TONS of it in the cabinet and just can't bring myself to eat it.lol Anyhoo, during my pureed stage I had ALOT of beans. Black beans, refried beans, and lentils.I just couldn't get enough refried beans with a little melted cheese on top. YUMMY. You may want to try Cream of Wheat and/or Oatmeal. Oatmeal did NOT work well for me, but I've heard that others liked it alot. I don't like cottage cheese, but that seems to be a favorite of others too.  Oh, and I made my own peanut butter in the magic bullet. My nutritionist didn't recommend eating alot...only a tablespoon at a time, but that was nice to have when I wanted a little something sweet. You may want to check out the recipe forum. There are some GREAT ideas and recipes on there. Good luck!

Mashed potatos and gravy worked for me! Flakey white fish and salads were OK ,Just not very big portions to start!  Merrilou

My favorite was campbells soup at hand creamy chicken, and velvety potato. They really did the job with my dying for something other than jello, and broth. I hope this helps!!!

P.S. I dont think you can eat salad this early. I still have'nt had salad. Salad is very hard for your stomach to digest, and the book says no raw veggies for 12 weeks. Trust me I am dying for a good salad!!!
