3 Weeks Post-Op

[Amanda61082 28]

I was so excited to have scrambled eggs tonight! I am not a huge egg fan, but the thought of eating something that wasn't a liquid was all I needed. I cooked the egg and I took one bite, that was all I needed! I have been so nauseous! I can't even stomach Water at this point. My nutritionist said that my strong aversions towards foods with soft consistencies would be a tough hurdle. Does anyone have any ideas of foods I can eat that isn't yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese or tofu? My husband recommended purée Mac and cheese but I didn't think that would be a good choice.

I welcome all suggestions!

What about mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC? I know they aren't very healthy, but my dr said to not worry so much about calories, but rather get your body back to a good point. If you mix in enough gravey they would be very thin. Their mashed potatoes are very smooth as it is, just thick. oatmeal?? I don't like it either, but it's good for you. I was also thinking some Soup from Panera or somewhere that you could blen further to break down and maybe add some chicken broth??

Good luck to you. I will be there soon!!

I've even had a few pieces of chicken too, missed the biscuit n honey but the mash potatoes and gravy make up for it. I do a lot of Beans, baked potatoes, with a piece of laughing cow cheese sprinkled on top melts great, and I only eat as much as I feel like.

Grits? Cream of Wheat? Refried Beans, you can mash them a bit more. Cauliflower can be mashed up. Bananas. Applesauce? You could even bake apples and mush them up. Humus. Just about any beans can be mooshed up.

I loved doing pear sauce. You make it just like applesauce with pears. Add a touch of vanilla and it's sweet without adding sugar! I also made some homemade cream of broccoli Soup. It 'felt' more like real food to me than other stuff.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, that's a good place to start. Like cocoabean mentioned refried Beans. I add TJ's guacamole/hummus to it and some of their salsa. Just had it for dinner.< /p>
