I will be moving to purees next week and my surgeons office has recommended baby food meats.

Anyone have any favorites? Recommendations?

I would recommend not eating baby food meats. Honestly you will probably throw up.

If you have the time. Make chicken and purée it in chicken broth. Or strain Soup and add chicken and blend it in blender. Tastes like it should unlike the baby food. Sleeved 9/6/16 starting w: 267. Surgery date w. 233. Current w: 163.

Ugh no way! I'm on WIC and I get many jars of meat for my baby. They all taste like how cat food smells. In fact I ended up giving them to my cats. They balked at first. Had to mix it up with dry cat food. I wouldn't even give it away. The rest went in my composter. Needless to say I won't be buying that ever again. Just make your own. It's so much better. Good luck, you've got this!

I REALLY recommend NOT eating baby food. I tried it and it was TERRIBLE. I suggest finding some healthy slow cooker recipes and using a food processor or nutribullet (thats what I used) to make it into a puree. Foods cooked in a slow cooker are softer to begin with and will puree better.

You can also just cook regular meats and puree them with broth, milk, or a sauce. I used things like hoisin sauce, pesto, anything that will add flavor but not a lot of calories. Since you eat so little you can use what you want.

I also suggest things like refried Beans. I heated some up with a little cheese and sour cream.

      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.
