Baby Food!

Yuck, no baby food for me! Except for the bananas and Hawaiian Delight which is also fruity. Those are the only 2 I can stand. But there are SO many other option for mushie food. Cottage cheese, oatmeal, tuna, mashed potatoes, eggs, and applesauce just to name a few. It's amazing how one can make a food "mushy."

Amen to Maggs79 except the oatmeal and tuna. They both can create more pain than pleasure. Hold off on the oatmeal for a while. The canned tuna or chick packed in water when drained tends to be too dry; mix a 2 oz serving with a tablespoon of non fat/low fat mayo and a tablespoon of pickle relish and it takes on an easier consistency. To Maggs79's point, a small food processor can turn most anything into puree of your imagination. Experimenting is half the fun. BTW: Jello's new chocolate mousse is an answer to prayer. Check out a book you can use through all phases of post-op: Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery by Patt Levine. Some yummy stuff therein.

Keep your focus on the long term goals and you can overcome the greatest obstacles you imagine.

I bought some baby food a few weeks ago, although I haven't needed to eat it, yet. I did taste it so that when I did need to eat it, I didn't straight gag. I must admit, it was pretty disgusting, felt like I was eating cat food. However, I added a little salt and onion powder and it tasted pretty good. Still weird and mushy, but the flavor was better at least. Hope that helps!

Thank you for responding . . . I just bought a new blender and need to do some experimenting with it. I also bought an ice cube tray to freeze some pureed foods . . . just thought the baby food would be a good option for busy days, but it is not! The cute little jars may come in handy though!

I have a little inexpensive mini-chopper...wasnt even $15!!! does wonder to make everything MUSHY! if the food is stubborn, I add a drop or two of water or chicken broth, depending on what I'm "mushing". I use to make my babies', food rather than buy it, when they were younger. its pretty easy! I did buy a case of Beechnut babyfood at Sam's club! (for myself, after surgery) all the flavors were good! I thought it was yummy!! maybe I'm weird?

the beginner's spaghetti or lasagna is good IF you add salt to it,without yuck
