I know that baby food is simply blended food (plus whatever other supplements the company might add) but there is something about the thought of eating that, that just grosses me out. I can't get there in my head. And using a blender on regular foods seems to disgust me too. Maybe its the look and consistency of it when its done. I guess I'm going to have to be a fork masher and super chewer...

Baby food is actually high in calories and carbs. It is intended to fatten-up those bambino's! I don't know if you've ever tasted baby food but .......YUCK! There is no way I could ever eat that stuff. Just stick with the basic high Protein food choices and use the blender or food processor. My first pureed food was Wendy's chili run through the processor. It was delicious- but go slow it won't take but a couple of teaspoons to fill you up! Just make sure you add some type of moisture (broth or marinade) to your meats so they aren't dry- remember moist goes down better.

      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.
