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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
