Baby Food???



Recommended Posts

I thought we needed a thread dedicated to BABY FOOD! My doctor recommended baby food for your mushy stage. I'm 5 days out of surgery and ready for some mushies so I went to get some baby food. I stood in front of pureed green Beans, sweet potatoes, apples, turkey, mangos, etc and looked like a lost puppy! Seeing that I am 25 and never had children... I have NO idea what baby food actually tastes good :sad: or which tastes like cat throw up :frown:.

What baby food product would you suggest to eat?

(BTW, the chicken and Chicken broth baby food looked like slobber and tasted horrible!:rolleyes:)

it was recommended to me as well but i mushed everything to smitherenes instead. From what I remember with my daughter baby food is very saltless - you may need a bit of salt to bump up the flavour.

Yes salt was something the nasty chicken and chicken broth mush needed. Yuck.... I thought that it would give me some Protein but it just gave me a sick feeling in the stomach! :-)

any of the fruits are good my favorite is the hawanian delight and strawberry bannana. I couldnt do any of the veggies. You are just better off cooking your own sweet potatos and mushing them yourself.

Someone suggested to me that I cook my own Protein, fruits and veggies in bulk and use the blender, then fill up ice cube trays to freeze them and then freezer bags to store them. Each cube is exactly 1 ounce. Just pop in the microwave. Hope this helps.

I just bought some baby food the other day for my mushies after my fill. I stuck with fruit but I can't eat a lot of it or gets gross. But just a little bit isn't bad. :sad:

i am trying to make my own purees, but am not sure which fruits and veg will work when frozen. I am doing peaches and got a good recipe and it will taste much better than the bought stuff from what all the articles I have read have said.

I am not going to do meat, but oatmeal or rice Cereal can be added and pureed as well.

I like the organic apples and oatmeal. I use flavorless Protein powder called AnyWhey to add 17 grams pf Protein.< /p>

When I had my tonsils out at 15, my mom made the best mush for me. She took chicken and some green Beans and broth and just blended the crud out of it. And I guarantee it was better than baby food!

As far as baby food goes, the meat is gross. Carrots and sweet potatoes are okay. I think you'd be better of with a Protein you cook the way you like it then blend away.

how about eating adult food (pureed or in a vitamixer)?

you choose the food and whip it to the stage you like.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
