Baby food is disgusting. Better to take a day and make your own and put it in the freezer. If you like the idea of the little jars, you could buy it and dump the contents. Ice cube trays give a tidy way of portioning out food (freeze in the tray, then bag the cubes).

I have a board on Pinterest called Bariatric. I found a lot of good ideas there. Good luck!

Canned chicken with some franks hot sauce, fat free ranch, and a little bit of cheese. Bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes. And fat free refried beans... those two things were my staples for the soft food part.

Amen to the refried beans! I lived on them. Also tuna, canned chicken, grits with laughing cow cheese, and a Protein pudding I found (can't remember brand.) I drank two Premier Proteins a day so I didn't have to worry about getting protein in. So sometimes I had sugar free pudding for lunch.

It's so weird to see that people are having to wait until soft foods to eat refried Beans and eggs.

I was told that they were fine during my pureed stage.

I'm two weeks out now I wish I could have seafood ha. I'm on a soft food diet only until a month out then I can add seafood. Must be why I'm dropping pounds like crazy. Basically I eat eggs, Cottage cheese, Cheese, Yogurt, Split peas. Gets a little boring but that's ok. Its worth it !

I make chili n purée it and add crackers makes a great dish! Taste just like chili too.

      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.
