I am 2 weeks post-op and feel wonderful! I wondered there for a week or so, but now, it is great! Soreness is dissipating and the incisions are itching like mad, but, overall, I am wonderful!! I have started walking and a light workout routine. I am VERY sick of liquids and get to start my pureeds this weekend. Any suggestions on what I can puree??

Hope this finds all of you doing well!

Blessings!

I'm still pre-op, so I can't say on the pureed stuff, but I'm thrilled that your recovery is going so swimmingly!

My surgery was August 31st. So far I've had low-fat ricotta cheese with fat-free shredded mozzarella and some homemade sauce, put it in the microwave for 30 sec to melt the cheese, mix and eat. It's awesome! I also had a poached egg with fat-free shredded cheddar. I plan on having some egg salad next. Chicken salad didn't do well for me and I pureed everything.

Congratulations on doing so well. You'll get many other ideas from here. Good luck.

My favorite thing to eat on the pureed diet was low fat ricotta cheese with marinara sauces and shredded parmesan cheese.

I also liked fat free refried beans, with a little taco sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.

I actually had this yesterday cause there was nothing else in the house that I wanted to eat so I got into my post rny refried beans. lol It was soooooo good! Only I used lowfat gouda instead of cheddar

I need help learning how to poach eggs. I'm making the biggest mess of it.

I'm sorry hon, I read all the posts but I never found it again. Just point me in the right direction if ya remember the thread name.

I've tried a few different ways and get frustrated everytime. I'm a great cook, so finding something I can't make is frustrating lol!

Here it is:

1. For 1 egg, fill water in medium saucepan less than half-way. Bring to full boil.

2. When fully boiling add course salt (which makes the egg coagulate), crack the egg into the boiling water (make sure you do it gently and very close to the water so it doesn't break).

3. Then using a spoon with holes very gently move the egg around the pot gathering as much of the whites as you can to keep them together with the yolk.

4. Then use your spoon to gently lift the egg (still keeping it in the water) to see if it's wobbly. If you like the yolk runny then wobbly is good. If not, keep checking with the spoon. You'll be able to tell.

5. Then gently take it out of the water.

Never leave the egg in there unattended because it gets hard very quickly.

I know it sounds like a lot of work but it isn't and takes about only 3 minutes. If you mess up, just keep trying. It gets easier. It really is simple once you get the hang of it.

I just had one again this morning with shredded fat-free cheddar and mushed it all to death and it was great.

If you need me to clarify more just let me know. It can be confusing.

7pm and Rob's eating a poached egg sandwhich talking about how much yummier runny eggs are without grease in them LOL!! Now he wants more and not just one practise one lol!!

Thank you! I have a very satisfied man right now. The sea salt and a big black spoon with holes in it made all the difference! You rock!

LOL....What's life without satisfying your man!!!! Now, to make 2, just add a little bit more water and make sure you continually separate them when they're in the water. Boy I wish I could eat a poached egg "sandwich." I'm jealous!!!!!!!!

I'm glad it came out good. They really are delicious...
