I am about one month post op. I had a difficult time with the whole pureed food as well. I had some Sweet Potatoe/Apple Baby food, but thought I was going to gag.
The crock pot is a really good idea! With me, it is still strange. There are some foods that I can tolerate one day, but the same foods not the next day. It has been a weird experiement. Most of the day, I am not getting all the protien I need. And most days I feel like I forcefeeding myself.
I went to my primary care phyiscian because I wasn't feeling so well last week. Not only was I dehydrated, my body was experiencing 'ketosis'-basically my body is starving itself. While I know that this is supposed to happen, the concern coming from my doctor suprised me.
Since October 17th, I am down 33 pounds. It's a slow progress. But I feel like I am starting off to a great life, since my 'new birth.' I just hope that things continue in the way that they are supposed to, complicated free.
I have yet to tell my parents about my procedure. Because of financial burdens, I am not able to go home for Thanksgiving, but I will be explaining my situation at Christmas. Hopefully, by that point I will be down at lest abother 25 lbs and things will be almost self evident.
Holiday Blessings to all of you.

I had my surgery October 17... and I am in the exact same "state"... its a delicate balance... lol..
My energy is down.. but I am hoping with my return to work next week.. that once my family and myself are back in the old routine.. (with new food changes..lol).. that my exercise will increase.. and balance will be acheived....
My family mostly knows.. some friends... not a secret.. but not something that I walk up and tell to strangers either...
Not everyone supportive.. but then again.. I don't really care...lol.. I did this to be healthy.. to be able to keep up with my 6 year old..
I am hoping by doing this now... I am setting a good example to my daughter and she does not have to fight the same demons we are all facing now....
Good luck and happy holidays to you
