I bought baby food. I mixed the peas with clear chicken broth to a Soup texture. I loved it. Did NOT love the meats. ick, poor baby's. I liked the applesauce and pears. I haven't tried the carrots yet. Thought I would mix carrots with beef broth for a soup. I am loving eating soup broth and "creamed" W/ N/F milk. not cream. I am eating FF cottage cheeze. and have had 2 eggs so far. I like the cream of wheat W/baby food fruit. What I like is the jars are so small and I don't waste much. My husband will not eat FF or SF stuff. He does not need it. So, I try to find stuff in little jars for me and regular stuff for him. I am adjusting to this new shopping mode. I can make this work.

I am drinking the Protein EAS muscle builder. So far I have gotten one half bottle down a day. am working towards full. I am now off of mashed pots. I did not know they were a bad thing until I read it here!

As someone with a baby, I recommend Plum Organics baby food. It's in a pouch so you can squeeze out only a little a time if you want. They have it at Babies R Us. They also sell some purees called Revolution foods for toddlers.

I have tried the Plum and it is GREAT. My baby loves it so much more than the other kinds. I plan on mixing it with Protein powder once I get to mushies.

I've also been thinking about other mushy options. could I buy chicken Soup and just blend it up?

I made homemade chicken soup and blended it up. My doctor let me have it on the second week of liquids, but it was a little weird because of the chicken and all the different vegetables. It really didn't have a distinct taste...

They have a vegetable here in Nicaragua called pipian (it is like squash). My doctor told me I could boil it with a little Water and the add skim milk and blend it. It was great! I think the more items you blend the more confusing the taste, but hey anything is better than only liquids right?

I had the same bright idea..and bought one jar, it tasted terrible!! So, I used my Healthmate blender and pureed my own, much better. I don't see how you guys are going to get in your Protein, if you are eating pureed fruits..we were told to eat protein first, then veggies, then fruit. Anyhow, I wish I would have tried Unjury protein power in unflavored and not listed to anybody..because I couldn't tolerate artificial sweetners at all after surgery and had to drink milk until my stomach wasn't too sensitive anymore. The unjury web site has sample you can buy. I mix the unflavored with 32 oz of ice Water. I really can't taste it at all, and sometimes I mix in a pkt of EmergenC vit in orange flavor.

Just as a quick note so no one feels left out if they can't eat tuna, neither can I. Tuna and I don't mix right now. We used to be friends before surgery but I have been informed by my stomach we will not be eating tuna fish any longer. I will try again in 3 months or so.

I can eat other fish like salmon and mahi though so don't give up on all fish if one does not agree with you.

Oh I ate some baby food but I just pureed everything in my bullet. That was easier and I knew what was in it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
