vertical sleeve pureed stage
on 7/6/14 2:29 am - IL
I, myself, have never eaten the baby food but they are an option at this stage. I too am on the post-op pureed stage and have been pretty much eating creamed soups, protein shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream of wheat...etc. I try to stay on top of my dairy options for the calcium. I did try scrambled eggs which were fine except the gas was horrible. So I take gas-x pills before I eat anything that could cause gas. These food options worked well for me. My big struggle is trying to drink water all day... I have never been a big water drinker.

Once you've gotten your protein in, there's the pears and squash in a pouch that's nice and good to keep around to curb your sweet tooth in a healthy manner. I don't think I could eat the straight veggies but this gets you veggies and a fruit without added sugar or unnessesary carbs. I'm still pre-op but asked my nutritionist about using baby food for options.
I really like the idea of refried beans! (Texan here!) Good luck!
