Baby food really ????????



Recommended Posts

Like people are saying .. yogurt, mashed potatos, cottage cheese, Soup, blend some salsa, refried Beans, soft scrambled eggs, and so on.

Baby food is disgusting. I tried it when my husband got his gastric bypass last year and rebought some different flavors and brands after my surgery and blegh. I fed them to my dogs.

Seriously? :thumbup:

What's the deal with people hating baby food? I can completely understand the savoury ones being disgusting, but the fruit ones are just fruit puree with no added sugar or preservatives!

Hey Firechic,

I'm three days pre-op from sugery, and my nutritionist recomended the whole baby food thing when it came to the mushy stage.... and I actually took a stroll down the baby food isle at the local grocery store and decided not to even try it. I will just use a stick blender or food processer to puree whatever I need... There just weren't that many that were appealing and they all looked bland!!!!!

Hey there I got a kick just thinking of you looking at baby food in the store a big cowboy looking guy like yourself. I guess when your use to the pet isle it's a foreign country looking at those jars thinking how the heck do they do that in a jar. It looking like thanksgiviving in a jar that brown mush...how can that be possible. lol

Baby food is just mushed up fruit and oatmeal sometimes with less sugar and no additives :thumbup: How is it repulsive?
Well, my doctor's regimen omits oatmeal and fruit--he's a Protein guy.

Have you ever smelled baby food meat? Even babies don't like it!

Oatmeal and fruit, I'd be fine with. But I'm 9 months out and still haven't added oatmeal back in!

Ahhh, I see LOL. The meat thing - nooo, I'd avoid that at all costs lol. I gagged when I smelt even the savoury cheesebake one without meat in it :thumbup:

The custard ones taste like pumpkin Soup - vom.

The savoury ones - I've learnt my lesson with those lol. I just keep with the fruity ones.

The oats are well blended, I don't think there's much in there. I think it's just used to thicken it. I was eating that one when I was on mushies and was fine with it. I'm not sure if you can buy those ones where you live though coz I'm in Australia. You can get Jello ones too that are fruity and they're quite nice.

I like them better than the fruit purees because those ones I find are pretty sugary and at times I'm too lazy to puree my own fruit :smile2:

But yeah, I see what you mean with the savoury ones. I feel so sorry for babies who have to eat that garbage. :(

Gerber Turkey with Turkey Gravy for me... no way!!! Looks like Thanksgiving dinner for me will be a little turkey with a little giblet gravy beat to death in a food proccesser and maybe a little sugar free cranberry sauce on the side.... heck I might ever treat myself with a couple small bites of sweet potato pie!!!!:thumbup:

I never ate baby food and I never put anything in the blender that I normally wouldn't. Things like yogurt smoothies, yes blender. Putting meat, Pasta or anything like that in the blender ..... no way.

I never ate baby food. I just made sure I really, really chewed my food, so it was good to go down.

      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.
