Its not laughable at all! My dietician suggested it.... I didnt try it... I was happy to drink V8 juice, eat mashed carrots and peas but if it works for you... go for it!

My doctor adviced against this. Would rather me process real food with chopper or food processor. I can't even imagine eating baby food :(

ChopswyfT, it could have been that they don't want someone having a lot of salt and sugar. Keeping in mind I don' have kids and have never bought babyfood. I'd bet that you could find "crunchy granola" baby food that has no salt or sugar.

I blended my own foods. I had some meatballs in the freezer and they were great blended with some added gravy. I added a scoop of Protein mix to oatmeal and cream of wheat. You will need some creativity to get through this stage.

I bought the gerber bananas because I need the extra potassium! But I would rather do my own mushies. baby food isn't really very tasty.

pureed grown up food isn't as bad as it sounds. It honestly wasn't that difficult to get through that phase for me. Pureed Soup tastes like the original soup only less chewing...chili is FABULOUS. I make my own black bean chili and it was the one thing I couldn't wait to eat once I was allowed to move on to pureed foods.

I ate mostly pureed "regular" food during that stage, but did have some baby food fruits and veggies on hand to take to work for lunch if I hadn't had time to puree my own... heck, I used to eat baby food in High School for a snack after school before ball games!!!:P

I just got the fruit baby food. Apples and cherries were extremely delicious. The other ones I got are going to the food shelf because it was just too weird to try them. I know they will go better use there.

I was initially grossed out at the thought of blending food and actually eating it. But, by the time I hit that stage---I wanted flavor!!! And it wasn't that bad! I pureed some chicken with gravy; meatballs---stuff like that.

I am at this stage right now and to me it was easier the liquid part because it was no liquid and no cretivity. I have been eating greek yogourt with 14gm of Protein, smash or puree Beans, riccotta cheese, I have blended regular food and it's not that bad. I have another week to go and then I will move in to soft food.

I didn't try it, but it was in my program too. I just ate mushy things like tuna, didn't feel I needed baby food.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
