Pureed Food questions?!?!?! confussed
Honestly, if you're having gastric bypass, I really wouldnt worry about having pureed foods ahead of time. Coming right out of surgery you'll be too busy trying to get your protein and water in that you'll probably want real food mentally, but you really wont have room for it.
If anything, buy small cups of applesauce or jello, or have your mom make about a quarter cup of mashed potatoes if you must taste real food. Or in the morning have some oatmeal or something along those lines. But again anything you make ahead of time will really go wasted.

I know you want to do it, but I suggest waiting until after surgery. Your taste buds really do change some and somethings you think you will like, may not work for you at all! I would get some tuna (you don't really even have to puree it, just take small bites and chew really well) apple sauce, SF popcycles, protein powders that you can add to fruit smoothies (although watch that, my pouch was temperamental when it came to hot/cold drinks. Sometimes hot worked, other times cold did, but there was no set pattern. lol) I used to enjoy applesauce and I don't really like it now though, so it really is all about experimenting to find out what works for you afterwards. That and the fact that you'll only be eating a couple of ounces at a time to start just doesn't make it worth it to make a lot of stuff up ahead of time. How long does your Dr. have you on the pureed foods? I was only on them about a week and a half or so. Then went on to soft foods like cottage cheese and scrambled eggs, etc.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Definitely wait. I'm not sure what your surgeons protocol is but for the 1st week I was on clear liquids and then moved on to 'pureed proteins'...but I didn't puree anything...ick. I chewed til mush and it helped me to eat slowly. You'll want to focus on protein protein protein.. the mushy carbs can wait. Your body can take the carbs you need from your fat cells but there are essential amino acids that you MUST have and you can only get those from edible protein.
