Stage 2 post-op weight loss surgery is soft and pureed foods.
I was so flippin' excited to be off liquids that I experimented with EVERYTHING.
2 important things before our recipes!
FIRST: I would have been lost the first year without my Thrive Market! It was my own personal world of exactly what i needed for my bariatric needs. I love their collagen products which super helped me NOT to lose hair!
Second, this Ninja processor set is something I used ALL THE TIME during the first two phases (and still do now). This is the one I used but if you need a cheaper version click here. You will definitely need a food processor for the Soft food/pureed stage.
I use it to make smoothies all the time (for the whole family)! I also use the food processor to make cauliflower rice for MANY dishes! The uses and possibilities are seriously endless.
Since you have decided to invest in your future with weight loss surgery, you need to invest in the necessary tools for success. This seriously was the easiest and most convenient set I've used! It was a huge help during my pureed stage but honestly, I've used it ever since as well!
Ok….well, let's get to what you came here for! Here's some fav recipes of mine during the pureed stage.

Best Tips to Break Monotony
- Sticking with a goal long term can be a real task; especially when juggling being mom as well! Sometimes keeping routine and the "same ole, same ole" is a good thing. When it's not so great is when it bores you to the point of giving in to behavior that is counterproductive.
- When you dread working out because that treadmill feels so boring, or you don't want to spend the extra 20 minutes driving to and from the gym on top of the work out time, it's time to switch it up. If the gym is not the answer for a brief time, turn on some music, and have a dance party in your living room. Do some yard work for burning calories. Walk the mall for 30 minutes alone or window shopping with the kids.
- The same can be said about your eating habits. If you've eaten the same circle of food so much it makes you nauseous to think of it, it's definitely time for a switch-up. Spend about 20 minutes researching a handful of new recipes. Snack on different fruits you don't normally. Prepare dinners from a diet you don't normally practice (paleo, weight watchers, keto). Some times I look up these "diet" recipes to find ones I know are healthy but different than I'd normally research!
- You can also look for an accountability partner or coach. This is actually something I help with. Visit this link to check it out to join Team No Excuse Ninjas! You all inspire me just as much as you are looking to get inspired by me :)! It's so fun.
What is Monotony?
- Monotony can be a curse and a blessing. It's really nice to have routine in some areas of life. We want that constant spouse, constant job, constant house. We need something different in the smaller areas of our lives. The big constants are great, but the family plans, foods we eat, and activity we engage in does need to change up. Not only will it keep our bodies guessing and reacting, but it fuels our minds and mental health. Our mental health and care and maintenance has to be tended to. It's the foundation to how all other actions and relationships carry on in our lives.
Understanding the pros and cons a little more:
- Routine is good, monotony is bad.
- 5 reasons routine is good:
- it creates consistency
- it connects us with our beingness
- we can be more present
- it keeps indecisions at bay
- it makes life simpler
- 5 reasons monotony is bad
- It can turn into an unhealthy addiction
- it restricts cognitive functioning
- it's associated with high levels of stress
- it prevents being attentive
- It can lead to unhealthy addictions such as alcohol abuse, drug abuse, overeating, etc.
Best Tips to Keep Your You Time Poppin'
Me time (or you time) is ANYTHING we do for ourselves. It's so important to invest in yourself and not fall into a monotonous abyss. You must make the most out of the little me time you can get. It doesn't have to be a night on the town with the girls. It can be a manicure, pedicure, bath, hair appointment, meal planning for your diet, reading a book before bed, meditating during lunch hours, or exercising. It can vary from the big things to the teeny weeny little things we do for ourselves.
What are some things you do with your "me" time that you'd like to share?

SIDE NOTE:
There is one expense I have kept for myself continually since 2 weeks before surgery. I don't normally do this kind of thing or even brag about these things to others but this one I just have to. If you are on this post because you are about to embark on weight loss surgery (or you already have), you deserve the best advice. I am 16 months out from surgery and 100 lbs down! Yes, you read that right.
I preach a lot on self care since weight loss surgery. Mostly because I lost myself for so long and gained it again since my surgery. My surgery was a wake up call to never forget little things for myself again. Maybe 1 small thing a day, a week, or a month adds up to big changes in the end! Never forget that!
So here's my secret: I am a budget mom through and through. I don't have tons of extra money to spend on myself but I have found different ways to put aside $10-$20 a week for myself to add up to this expense. About once a month, I order about $60-$75 worth of products from Thrive Market.
Yes, there are some products at Thrive that you can find at grocery stores, BUT there are a lot that you will not for various reasons (whether not local or just sold online). Thrive lets you shop by Diet, shop for clean wines, shop for bath and beauty products, or snacks. And allllll of them are as clean as clean can get! That's what I love about them. You don't have to do the research for good, clean products, they are all in one affordable place for you!
Click below and check them out now, for a short time you can get a phenomenal deal of a $20 shopping credit! I originally started out buying collagen peptides, electrolyte products, and my soups from them.
