Baby Food for Puree Phase



Recommended Posts

I have already pureed chicken and portioned it out into an ice tray; I removed the frozen cubes and placed them in a Ziplock freezer bag. I just don't like how the pureed vegetables turned out, so I bought some stage 2 baby food squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Has anyone else tried baby food for the puree phase?

It is a good idea but remember that you really want to stick with eating Protein at this stage as you really are consuming so little food.< /p>

I was thinking the same thing about eating baby food too, how does the puree chicken taste? not real sure about what eat for post op

I pureed my chicken with broth and a little garlic powder; it tastes okay but it's a little bland.

Baby food is really bland.

I puréed everything, just like I did for my kids. Even meatballs, meatloaf, etc. split pea Soup was good too. I ate a lot of cottage cheese and Greek yogurt (both nonfat)- but sometimes wanted something hot too. Fat free refried Beans were awesome too. I just found that beans, meat, mashed cauliflower (great alternative to mashed potatoes but you have to add some Protein powder) were things I had to eat much slower than cottage cheese and yogurt.

I have a 3 yo, and remembering what the savory baby foods smelled like still make me cringe and shudder. I would avoid prepared purees in favor of making some yourself. They are seriously nasty.

Please read the labels on baby food... lots of sugar & sodium.

I purchased the baby bullet. I use it to make my baby's homemade baby food with and it has a great recipe book.

Hi guys, if you buy the Baby Bullet it's a great way to make your own fresh baby food and it cost about 3-5 a week to make a weeks worth of stuff....

I have a 9 month old and I make food for the both of us. I have two great baby food cookbooks. It seems the key in most recipes is spice, spice and more spice. We also expierament a lot. For instance steamed carrots with apples, pears, peaches or apricots (all steamed) are quite yummy.

Smoked salmon is great puréed or mashed well with dill or tarragon and lemon or lime juice or a horseradish sauce. Baby can't get enough of it as well. :)

Also, I use a lot of dal in the foods we make. Moong dal, toor dal and Chana daal but I'm not counting carbs. If you like Indian food you won't even notice it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
