Yes I agree with crystalrainbow, baby food is not recommended . Planning and freezing meals is very handy because when you first come home and need to strat your puree diet the last thing you can be bothered with ismaking meals and just thinking about it does yiour head in. You also hit the stage what have I done all is perfectly normal some people have it worse than others but if you are prepared and sorted all well n good. can get loads of containers from pound shop I still do that now have 3 beef stew in freezer at moment for me. I tended to cook a big batch each week of stuff and always had lfat custard pots in and s/f jelly. Cheese triangles, sunday lunch I used to make 7 lots up one for each day, that way I knew I was getting good wholesome food each day protein n veg and you made it yourself so you know what went in it. Also I still mainly eta fresh fruit n veg I think that coupled with the vitmains and meds we take have helped me stay healthy without getting colds etc. So that's one big plus. Chicken beef n pork all make a lovely dinner adding mint sauce to beef, stuffing to chicken and apple sauce to pork just give s you a different taste, I did find that my food was more appertising when I pureed each veg separately and put a spoon of each in my box. then its not just all moulded into one blob of no colour. Add gravy and water to water things down so that it can go through your body without hurting you. You can plan now while you have time it takes a lot of pressure off later on. Good luck with your liver reduction diets and ops. Don't worry about your first food after op at first its just water some hospitals have you on just fluids for a while we went straight onto puree for 4 weeks then soft texture then more or less ordinary food , bread, pasta and rice being the very last things as they can cause problems for some people. The 1st thing we were given was a Weetabix. Fear does help you out because we eat like birds because we are scared of doing damage and you know just take your time with it its amazing how nice purreed veg can taste when you have been on the preop diets and then your op. I did miss crunching things for a good while though and the best bit of advice I can give you is stay away from crisps biscuits etc, because once you introduce them back in that's it they are back to stay. xx
