Post op food

[westiedog]

Has anyone used baby/infant food in their post op diets?

Hi Westie, from what I understand, baby food wouldn't provide the right nutrients for us as adults. Also, think they're not the best tasting - unless things have moved on since my kids were little.

They do advise against it, I was told to eat normally and purée rather than buy baby food...

That being said... I did find these when going round the supermarket and brought a handful, there was also a fish pie one.
As they are aimed at kids over 1, they were already mushy enough for me to use during the mush/soft stage.

I think they'd be good Mighty. My kids have had those before.

It was the weaning jars that would taste pants I think.

Thanks for the replies. I saw the meals for toddlers in the baby aisle spag bol etc. Might take a look at the meals when I am post op x

prepare your own and freeze into smaller amounts, far better than ready meals or baby food.

I Tried baby food it was tasteless, much better to make your own and freeze.
Hospital also advise against, baby foods.

I would again agree. Completely the wrong type of nutrition - you need high protein which babies get from milk. Unless you were planning to have baby formula too, you put yourself at risk of malnutrition.
