Complete pasty diet menu

The pasty diet has a soft consistency and, therefore, it is indicated, mainly, after surgeries in the digestive system, such as gastroplasty or bariatric surgery, for example. In addition, this diet facilitates the entire digestion process because it reduces the effort of the intestine to digest food.

In addition to cases of surgery, this diet is also used in patients with difficulties in chewing or swallowing food due to inflammation or sores in the mouth, use of dental prosthesis, severe mental retardation or in case of diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), for example.

Foods allowed in the pasty diet

The foods allowed in the pasty diet are unshelled cereals, fruits and vegetables, eggs, fish or poultry meat that can be pureed, liquefied or mashed, such as:

• Cornstarch porridge, oats or rice cream; Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots or fruit and vegetable juice; All fruits in puree form, without skin or strained fruit juice; Milk, beaten yogurt, cottage cheese or mashed ricotta; Meats, fish and poultry in the form of mashed or shredded, without skin; Soft scrambled or poached eggs, in the form of puree; Gelatin, ice cream, jam, honey, pudding; Butter, sour cream, olive oil and coconut.

The pasty diet is more attractive and better tolerated when foods are placed in the pasty consistency separately, instead of all mixed together.

Forbidden foods in the pasty diet

Foods banned in the pasty diet are hard, crunchy and dry foods. Some examples are dried fruits such as chestnuts and peanuts, coconut, cookies and foods that are difficult to digest, such as breaded, fried or sausage foods, such as sausage, sausage and ham.

Yogurt with pieces of fruit, fruit with bagasse and peel, raw leafy vegetables and seed foods are also not recommended. See more about Food after bariatric surgery.
