BABY FOODS

[SHORTDOG 27]

Is it a good idea to eat baby foods during the "Puree" stage? or are baby foods rich in things that might make me throw up or do they lack somethings that i need to stay healthy??

I was thinking that if they are soft enough and healthy enough for a baby....why not me while i am not able to intake solid foods??

Can anybody help me out here?? Thanks.

Have you ever tried baby food. Awfully bland. Much better to mush up regular food.

Ick. Baby food sucks (except for Baby Bananas which I still like but generally don't admit to in public lol). Get a little single servings blender and blend your own, you'll be so much happier you did.

The only baby food I liked was a jar of chicken weenies (they look like vienna sausages). They are soft and easy to chew and taste decent. I was able to start eating these during week 2 after surgery. I did not like any of the baby food that looks like pureed meats in a jar---they were awful. I didn't try the fruits and veggies baby food, but you might be able to tolerate those at this stage, as long as they are the consistency of a runny pudding--add some skim milk to the baby food fruits and it shoud help you get it down better. Check the labels for the carb and sugar content to make sure you are staying within the less than 5 grams of Sugar and low carb. I was able to tolerate sugar free apple sauce about mid week during week one---this was my go to thing to eat, as I tolerated it well and it did not make me sick. Grits and my Protein Drink were the other 2 things I was able to eat during week one/liquid week. A mashed up banana is good during week 2, as well. Hope this helps!! Best wishes!

Yeah i was thinking fruits and some veggies...definitley not the baby meats! My son is 10 months old and i can't even feed them to him, they are just gross!

I thought during the liquid week we were only suppose to have Clear liquids?? Is this true? or can we have other liquids like milk, orange juice, carrot juice, etc..?
