Organic baby food pouches during pureed stage?

I live alone and am trying to stock up on food items prior to my surgery.  I know boredom can be an issue with food.  I was thinking that during that phase where portions are so small, that using the baby food pouches would be a great way of getting a taste of something different without all the prep work.  I realize that protein will be my priority, but I was just curious if anyone had used those.

I give them to my 1year old. I thought about it for myself. But I find that I eat so little that I was able to find other choices that were yummier then those. Also most of them have lots of fruit in them and I thought I would avoid the sugars for awhile so I didn't use them... But yes the thought crossed my mind! :) 

I tried it. Once!  Yuk! Bland sludge. Wouldn't call them a "taste". I just bunged lots of nice tasting things in a pan with stock, blended them and froze small portions. Maybe 10 minutes prep time, 20 minutes cooking without me doing anything, 3 minutes blending, 1 minute putting into yoghurt pots! And enough pots for a week made. With flavours I like! 

I looked at the ingredients and nutrition on a lot of baby food back when I was at that stage... you need protein and baby food really doesn't have enough!  

This is simple: Go to the deli and get a small piece of chicken.  Some Tuna salad.  A few more flavorful things.  Then pick one for a meal and just stick it in the blender (yeah, yeah - take the bones out of the chicken!).  Some things are even easy to smush with a fork.  My first Thanksgiving meal was 1/4 cup pureed (first day of it!) I took a small tender piece of turkey and just smashed it up with my fork to eat during the meal!  Yummy!  

If you want more flavors, then add a few drops of hot sauce or spices to your meat.  Flavorful, high in protein, and easy to do.  

Thank you, great suggestions!  Much appreciated!

I tried baby food once. It was horrible. Tuna and chicken are so much better and healthier.

Organic only means natural sugar is added instead of artificial sweeteners.

 

Blech I didn't even feed my baby baby food! So easy to just whiz real food up and stick in the freezer. Much healthier and tastier!

My surgeon's office is opposed to eating baby food during any WLS phase.

What Mo said.  Baby food also has almost no protein and rule #1 post op, no matter what stage you are in is "protein first, always".

Besides, have you tasted baby food lately?!? Yuck!
