Scared of transition to soft food

[MacMadame 81]

My surgeon and I decide to keep me on mushies for longer than normal, too. I ended up waiting until week 7 to start regular food and that was fine with me.

Hi-

Well I keep losing weight. Now down 23 pounds. I still have diarrhea. (Sorry to mention something unpleasant.)

I am able to eat 4 oz of Dannon light yoghurt and 1/4C of Non-Fat Cottage cheese (with Dairy Aid.)

I made some thick chicken vegetable Soup. Then I pureed it. It had the consistency of baby food. I ate 1/4C and my stomach hurt for 2 hours. It felt like my stomach was way too full. The feeling eventually passed, but I don't want any repeat performances.

Now I am mixing 1/4C of the puree with 1/4 cup of Swansons chicken broth. It is much thinner and I can comsume 1/2C. Its very tasty!

I appreciate all of your comments. I think I will try some kind of mild white fish in a broth/sauce over the next week. I also have a good recipe for egg salad where I use NF yoghurt and cottage cheese instead of mayonaise. Finally, I may get brave and try a poached egg.

Slowly, slowly.

But most of all, I'm really watching my calories, Protein, and Water. I want to keep the weight loss going. :smile:
