Yes, you can buy baby food.

I prefer the fresh variety, as I need all the Vitamins and "normal" foods now.

After weeks of Optifast, canned Soups, etc, I had enough of it. Also, freshly cooked and pureed food has little more fibre in it.

I started Soft Food yesterday, I am in week 5 post op.

Can you just use baby food ? Seems easier to just buy the jars

I am also curious to know the answer to this question. I am not there yet but trying to prepare. I'm going in on April 21st. And I liked the idea of baby food during that stage also.

You can have Stage 1-2 .. You may not like the taste though.

I asked my Dietician yesterday re Raw pureed bananas and pawpaw.

She said these are fine raw, because they are very soft already.

Apart from the printed guide I have for each stage, I also get her written instructions. All I saw was "cooked fruit".

Anyway, all good.

I started on Soft Foods yesterday, week 5 post op.

I had 2 cruskits with low fat cream cheese, topped with tinned, mashed tuna mayo. It was Heaven!

I bought the allowed foods, cooked them, then pureed with Nutri Bullet.

I made few batches, that I froze for later in small containers. This way I had week's supply that I only needed to defrost and re-heat.

Personally, I prefer non tinned food, and my body was craving "fresh" (cooked and pureed) food.< /p>

Each stage prepares the stomach for the future, so the Sleeve doesn't get stretched, damaged, and to prevent nausea, vomiting, bad reactions, etc

You will get full recovery instructions pre and post op.

@@Inner Surfer Girl,

Yes, true, texture is very important.

Thank you for reminding me, as this is exactly what my dietician told me.

I was mindful of Vegies, but not of Soft Fruit.

I just thought that bananas,some type of pears and pawpaw are naturally soft ..... hence I forgot to cook them.

It is such a new eating habit now, that unless I keep checking my instructions, I sometimes make mistakes .....

Now, I check instructions every day.

What is "pawpaw"?

Its papaya.
