I bought baby food. I mixed the peas with clear chicken broth to a Soup texture. I loved it. Did NOT love the meats. ick, poor baby's. I liked the applesauce and pears. I haven't tried the carrots yet. Thought I would mix carrots with beef broth for a soup. I am loving eating soup broth and "creamed" W/ N/F milk. not cream. I am eating FF cottage cheeze. and have had 2 eggs so far. I like the cream of wheat W/baby food fruit. What I like is the jars are so small and I don't waste much. My husband will not eat FF or SF stuff. He does not need it. So, I try to find stuff in little jars for me and regular stuff for him. I am adjusting to this new shopping mode. I can make this work.

I am drinking the Protein EAS muscle builder. So far I have gotten one half bottle down a day. am working towards full. I am now off of mashed pots. I did not know they were a bad thing until I read it here!

As someone with a baby, I recommend Plum Organics baby food. It's in a pouch so you can squeeze out only a little a time if you want. They have it at Babies R Us. They also sell some purees called Revolution foods for toddlers.

I have tried the Plum and it is GREAT. My baby loves it so much more than the other kinds. I plan on mixing it with Protein powder once I get to mushies.

I've also been thinking about other mushy options. could I buy chicken Soup and just blend it up?

I made homemade chicken soup and blended it up. My doctor let me have it on the second week of liquids, but it was a little weird because of the chicken and all the different vegetables. It really didn't have a distinct taste...

They have a vegetable here in Nicaragua called pipian (it is like squash). My doctor told me I could boil it with a little Water and the add skim milk and blend it. It was great! I think the more items you blend the more confusing the taste, but hey anything is better than only liquids right?

I had the same bright idea..and bought one jar, it tasted terrible!! So, I used my Healthmate blender and pureed my own, much better. I don't see how you guys are going to get in your Protein, if you are eating pureed fruits..we were told to eat protein first, then veggies, then fruit. Anyhow, I wish I would have tried Unjury protein power in unflavored and not listed to anybody..because I couldn't tolerate artificial sweetners at all after surgery and had to drink milk until my stomach wasn't too sensitive anymore. The unjury web site has sample you can buy. I mix the unflavored with 32 oz of ice Water. I really can't taste it at all, and sometimes I mix in a pkt of EmergenC vit in orange flavor.

Just as a quick note so no one feels left out if they can't eat tuna, neither can I. Tuna and I don't mix right now. We used to be friends before surgery but I have been informed by my stomach we will not be eating tuna fish any longer. I will try again in 3 months or so.

I can eat other fish like salmon and mahi though so don't give up on all fish if one does not agree with you.

Oh I ate some baby food but I just pureed everything in my bullet. That was easier and I knew what was in it.

      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.
