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>

      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.
