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.

      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.
