So many typos sorry. Guess Im getting tired. Just want as much info as i can get my operation is 10/11. Yay

Only a week!?! For some reason I'm thinking like 3 weeks. I need to get better information from my nut. I'm frieking out over things I dint need to!

Well' date=' every surgeon is different. Mine has me on mushies on week 3. Week 1 is clears week 2 is full liquids, 3 mushies, 4 soft, 5 re introduce solid foods

I have heard of people eating it. I never did because it sounded really unappealing. There are many other options if you decide you don't like it.

Heck NO! Why eat babyfood? Yuck. Did your surgeon suggest this? I haven't ever heard of people doing this.

Can you send me your surgeon's diet plan that lists baby food as an option? A hobby of mine is collecting various surgeons PostOp diet plans. Everyone is different but I have yet to hear of one suggesting babyfood.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery.

Fairfield Bariatrics on the CT gold coast, Dr Craig Floch. It is stage 3 week 3, pureed diet. Puree everything, but baby meats for protein are a good alternative and high in protein. A 2 1/2 oz jar of chicken, turkey or beef has between 8 and 10 grams of protein. i don't see what the big deal is, on the go. It's not like forever.

Just Do It!!!

i never I made my own just blended up what was for dinner for the rest of my family but much much less veg, and I made my own fruit purees.

No baby food for me...it was all too high in calories in my opinion. I ate a lot of refried beans, scrambled eggs mushed up, mashed potatoes, and soup.

I did meat baby food during my purée stage. Gerber was yucky, I think because they use water. Beechnut was pretty good- for baby food.

Curious- pose-sleevers: Is it easier on your stomach for whatever you eat as a mushy to be moist? I'm assuming you want to move gently from clear to opaque to pureed and then finally to reg. food. I like the retried beans example- at least they are a flavorful alternative. I think I'll make homemade soups with beans (like escarole or minestrone) and purée it- if I'm permitted the ingredients, of course!

Beechnut baby chicken in chicken broth 2 1/2 oz is 8 g of Protein and 50 calories.

Beef is 70 calories and 9 grams of protein

Not a lot of calories for the amount

Mushies is a week. Can only eat about 3 oz of Protein per meal anyway. Add some condiments and baby meats arent that bad...honestly, it's just a week

I am going to differ with you here RN. I HAVE had my surgery I am on my full liquids stage. I can guarantee you that I will be at this stage for at least one more week. Some progress slower and may stay at the puree stage longer. It is quite inappropriate to speak of which you have not experienced yet...........just my two cents.

I am entitled to an opinion about baby food, having raised 9 of them. Nothing inappropriate about that. Really?

I guess the ones I looked at had a lot more than that. I just meant too many calories for the quality. I always wanted my calories to go towards something yummy. After surgery you don't get to eat a lot so I wanted what I did eat to be good.

What I responded to had nothing to do with the baby food.

Hi Jayne! Good luck to you! Which hospital? I'm going to Mather in Port Jefferson.

I will be at South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside.

I hear you. I will be working, on the road, it just seems convenient. I actually had baby food before way back when I was in my 20s to stay under 130 lbs. didn't seem so bad then. I figure that I (meaning me, myself and I and not making presumptions for others) I can do it for one week. I may try to puree the meat I cook for the family (protein first) at dinner, but anything pureed is maybe not so yummy, in my taste. Let me know of any yummy pureed recipes.

Just Do It!!!
