Baby Food? Pureed Foods stage



Recommended Posts

I have a listing from my Nutritionist as to what to eat a week after surgery. ( My surgery is in a week and since I dont plan on going out to go food shopping after I wanted to get everything ready before hand.) On my list there is baby food. i was wondering which ,if any, baby food tastes best or what did you do to survive the pureed food stage?

Baby food is for babies, my nutrionist says to buy the real thing and puree yourself, this way you get all the nutrion from it you can.

Mine told me we could puree it ourselves too. Either way pureed chicken just doesn't seem edible to me.

try tofu, its very bland and very high in Protein 20 grams per 1/2 cup and it takes seasoning well. try using tofu with some chicken stock or beef stock to flavor it, should solve your problem

That's a fantastic idea, Chris619! I have a friend who loves tofu and has been trying to get me to like it - may just ask her about this and do a taste test!

It tastes pretty good to me :) You already "puree" chicken in your mouth when you chew. It tastes exactly the same, just with mashed potato texture.

I think of Puree like pate'. I blend only enough so it remains thick - tuna, chicken, turkey, Soups, etc. I also consider the foods that end up pureed while chewing, like cottage cheese and other soft stuff.

After the liquids stage, anything with taste is good, so yucky doesn't become an issue.

I pureed chicken with things like marinara sauce (topped with mozzarella cheese & heated up in microwave), low cal BBQ Sauce (top with cheddar cheese & heat up), and chipotle hot sauce. It was delicious! I've only smelled baby food a couple of times and thought it was beyond revolting, I could never eat that. I'm sorry that we inflict it on innocent, defenseless babies. :huh:

I bought Gerber brand. It tastes ok. Baby food is a personal choice. Buy some and try it. i find it helpful when I dont have time to prepare my own. its also good to keep on had at work or in the car. Everyone is different and don't let anyone else make the choice for you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
