Question:
When you're on the soft-solids part of the post-op restriction...

...can you eat baby food? Have any of you done that?    — [Anonymous] (posted on November 12, 2001)

I ate baby food, and still do, sometimes. (I'm now nearly 8 wks. post op.) Baby meats saved me! I still eat strained veg (mostly because I still have some jars left). I mix them in with spices & stuff because they are so Bland, Bland, Bland, but otherwise they don't taste bad, and the consistency is such that my stomach can deal with it (still can't deal with chunks, even little ones). -- Margie B

Baby foods are ok but don't do like I did. I bought about $20 worth of the stuff and found out it tastes like crap! I ended up giving it to a food drive, but only buy a couple at a time and see if you like them. I thought they were revolting! Best of luck. Amy

Hi ! Yes, you can eat babyfood. I give a list of things that I ate on my webpage, both under the useful WLS info section, as well as in "my personal journey", what I found I liked that worked well for me. You can find that and a lot of other WLS tips and info at http://www.lkdobson.homestead.com and good luck to you !!!

How many g of sugar per serving? If you can eat it and get less than 4-5g in your serving, go for it. The main thing with baby foods, ei milk (even skim), prepared foods, is that they are designed to put weight ON a baby. Personally, I would not.
