Is it okay to eat baby food during the soft food/pureed food stage post op for gastric sleeve?

Sorry. YUCK!

As you can tell, I did not do well on pureed foods. I lived on yogurt, cream of wheat, cottage cheese and Protein shakes.

I also cannot eat bean and that is a really good source of Protein for those on purée stage. Most people talk about that and ricotta bake. Maybe if I had done baby food I would feel differently.

For me it was an aversion to the texture. Yuck. LOL. I could not wait for that phase to be over.

Best of luck......

baby food is fine. I never did it, though, because for some reason the thought of eating baby food turned my stomach (not sure why since it's just pureed food...)

It depends on your specific program and the kind of baby food. It is also very important to read labels carefully. Some baby food has a lot of sugar/carbs.

Personally, I found real, adult food was much more palatable.

No, it isn't "just" pureed food. It's a scourge. It should be declared unconstitutional. Anyone who feeds that swill to babies should be punished by having to eat it.

Some of the fruits are okay, though. Nothing else.

      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.
