Any tips on what are good choices for "mushy" foods. My nurse said baby food is a good option. I was banded on 24 Oct.

Ewwww, don't eat baby food, that's gross.lol

I just made a big pot of Taco Soup and put a cup in the blender. Much better then baby food. You can make all kinds of vegetable dishes and put them in a blender. Fat free refried Beans, black beans. FF ricotta, marinara,ff cheese warmed in microwave.

I agree with Maddysgram. Just simply put your favorite, low fat/low carb foods in the blender and make it smooth, it is MUCH better than baby food. I made turkey chili today (canned for now) and just put it in the blender. It was great. I was banded on 10/24 too and am still on a full liquid diet, but I just got so tired of the normal full liquid, like cream Soup. I could tell my body was craving Protein, so the chili was perfect, perked me right up.

Baby's eat baby food, adults eat adult food. Blenderized anything - chicken, tuna salad, Wendy's chili, mashed potatoes (cautiously), sweet potato, mashed carrots, add blenderized cottage cheese to your Soup for more Protein, I was allowed well cooked Pasta - didn't have it but it was on my list.

good luck

Layer creamed spinach, creamed Tomato sauce and ricotta cheese. Heat it up, tastes like lasagna!

      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.
