Mushrooms SWELL!



Recommended Posts

I had a turkey burger with a portabello mushroom for a bun and WHAM! I slimed for 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure the mushroom was swelling in my esophagus. Anyone know if mushrooms swell?

Yes, mushrooms swell. When my brother had diverticulitis and a clostomy, I made him homemade mushroom Soup. He thought I tried to kill him and made me drive him 40 miles to a dr in a blizzard (it took over 3 hours). The dr said mushrooms are known to swell and he wasn't going to die...

I do eat mushrooms but in very small bites and chewing well. Crab stuffed portabellos are awesome. Celeste

Can't do mushrooms. Which is sad because I love them cooked in butter. Wait, maybe it's not a bad thing. Again, the band is a saviour :-)

I do eat mushrooms, however I have to chew them really good. I think I have more trouble with them not digesting like regular food, they seem to stay in small pieces no matter how much I try to chew them. If I don't get them chewed up really good, then I have trouble with them.

Well that explains it then. Thanks everyone. Crab-stuffed portabellos... mmmmmm. Do you have a recipe for it, Celeste?

Oh poo :-<. Yesterday I saw a really yummy looking recipe for little pizzas made in big field mushrooms. I was going to try it! Maybe I will, whilst I'm still unfilled. I'm a bit apprehensive now though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
