I have heard of people eating it. I never did because it sounded really unappealing. There are many other options if you decide you don't like it.

Heck NO! Why eat babyfood? Yuck. Did your surgeon suggest this? I haven't ever heard of people doing this.

Can you send me your surgeon's diet plan that lists baby food as an option? A hobby of mine is collecting various surgeons PostOp diet plans. Everyone is different but I have yet to hear of one suggesting babyfood.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery.

Fairfield Bariatrics on the CT gold coast, Dr Craig Floch. It is stage 3 week 3, pureed diet. Puree everything, but baby meats for Protein are a good alternative and high in protein. A 2 1/2 oz jar of chicken, turkey or beef has between 8 and 10 grams of protein. i don't see what the big deal is, on the go. It's not like forever.

Just Do It!!!

No baby food for me...it was all too high in calories in my opinion. I ate a lot of refried Beans, scrambled eggs mushed up, mashed potatoes, and Soup.< /p>

I did meat baby food during my purée stage. Gerber was yucky, I think because they use Water. Beechnut was pretty good- for baby food.

Curious- pose-sleevers: Is it easier on your stomach for whatever you eat as a mushy to be moist? I'm assuming you want to move gently from clear to opaque to pureed and then finally to reg. food. I like the retried Beans example- at least they are a flavorful alternative. I think I'll make homemade Soups with beans (like escarole or minestrone) and purée it- if I'm permitted the ingredients, of course!

Beechnut baby chicken in chicken broth 2 1/2 oz is 8 g of Protein and 50 calories.

Beef is 70 calories and 9 grams of Protein

Not a lot of calories for the amount

Mushies is a week. Can only eat about 3 oz of Protein per meal anyway. Add some Condiments and baby meats arent that bad...honestly, it's just a week

I am going to differ with you here RN. I HAVE had my surgery I am on my full liquids stage. I can guarantee you that I will be at this stage for at least one more week. Some progress slower and may stay at the puree stage longer. It is quite inappropriate to speak of which you have not experienced yet...........just my two cents.

I am entitled to an opinion about baby food, having raised 9 of them. Nothing inappropriate about that. Really?

I guess the ones I looked at had a lot more than that. I just meant too many calories for the quality. I always wanted my calories to go towards something yummy. After surgery you don't get to eat a lot so I wanted what I did eat to be good.

What I responded to had nothing to do with the 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.
