MzO 8 Posted August 7, 2013 Hello Everyone, I am one week away from surgery day, 8-14. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Nervous because I am about to let go my love affair with food and excited to be a healthy new me. Nervous because I will take this journey without my soulmate by my side, newly widowed. Excited because he ALWAYS cheered me on with anything I ever wanted to do. I guess since its 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of soft food, I really wanna know what people were able to tolerate and some meal choices for when its time to be able to eat real food again. Continued Blessings All MzO [/url] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Continued Blessings All MzO [/url'] I'm so sorry for your loss. As for foods I'm in the soft purée stage, I have 2-3 Protein Shakes a day, Incan eat eat beaters with cheese, grits, cream of rice. I recently made turkey salad in my food processor it was so good! I feel in love with Dannon light and fit Greek vanilla yogurt. I have had Decaf tea and coffee.< /p> I say practice to eat slow and chew thoroughly, and once surgery is finished sip and walk, my first two weeks I kept Water bottles in every room. I was afraid of getting dehydrated. I can manage 50-64oz a water. ALWAYS remember we are all different, and our tastes and needs vary. All the best to you.

That egg drop soup sounds like a good idea. My mom was from New Orleans and cooked with sachets. She would fill little squares of cheesecloth with the seasonings of her choice and toss them in whatever she was cooking. This way she got the flavor she wanted without having to worry about fishing out or straining seasoning flakes out of food items she didn't want people to see this flakes. 1 lovingmyself4eternity reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
