baby food

i can't believe i'm writing this, but i must say the gerber ham with gravy mixed with the great value 4 cheese potatoes were pretty much amazing...i feel like i just ate thanksgiving dinner...this is the first meal i've actually felt satisfied with since surgery...i may have ate a tbsp too much though...probably could have done without that. The other thing i need to rave about that is helping me sooo much is the sugar free candies...i bought the lifesaver wild cherry hard candy sugar free....yep it's amazing..i also had gotten the sugar free jolly ranchers...again...yum yum yum.

I did get out and go grocery shopping..and got my exercise in...i also cleaned my office so i don't feel so useless...i've just been going stir crazy..i'm one that is used to cleaning up all day after my 4 kids..sitting around is not my ball of wax...but i've hit my limit today..i'm officially sore =( little by little day by day. I"m so glad i have this forum....i have to admit..i feel really alone in this..but i know it will get better.

I am surprised that you are already on food-even baby food. My husband was sleeved on Wednesday and he has 7 days liquid before starting a puree stage. My doctor (we had surgery with 2 different officces and hospitals due to insurance requirements) had me on a 14 day liquid diet before the puree stage. I had looked at baby food but I did not feel that it had enough Protein for me to get my daily allowance. Besides I thought it was expensive when I could buy real food and just blend it myself to the right consistency. Good luck and welcom to the forum. You will find a lot of helpful information and a great support group.

the day following my surgery they started my on puree and i have to continue on puree for 4-5 weeks post surgery. They recommended baby food and milk for Protein as well as shakes. I was surprised that i got 9 grams of protein from just that little jar. I decided to try it today since i tried puree meats myself at home and cannot get the right consistency...i have 2 food processors and a blender but apparently i am a puree idiot =) Thanks for the lovely welcome, i'm loving this forum so far!! it is really a life change...today i've been really moody...for some reason i just want a darn cupcake with buttercream frosting..i never crave that...why i'm craving it today i have no idea...i've been a witch for the better part of the day and i'm ready to get back to my happy old self...=)
