nursesettie 85 Posted June 22, 2013 So is anyone else finding hard to eat? I eat Breakfast and forget to eat. I drink lots of Water. I ate 2 times yesterday. I drink as much water as I can because I am thirsty. I am going on to puree foods. I had some red Beans yesterday. YUM. After that I was not interested in food. I do not drink the shakes but I need to. It is so hard to drink them sometimes. ijs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nursesettie 85 Posted June 22, 2013 Any body in the New Orleans area? I would love to have someone in my area going through the same thing. I would like to know how you are dealing with life in the city of NO. I am so tired of people trying to feed me. I can't eat it, but thanks. The food smells so good but I do not want any of it. It is a hard adjustment to not eat at gatherings. That was the one think good about life here. Food. I feel like I almost have a food aversion. Nothing really taste good. So sick of bland foods. I did enjoy my red Beans yesterday. I am excited that I can eat some puree shrimp this week. 1 brandnew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrianSATX 116 Posted June 22, 2013 Anyone else have throat pain from the NG tube? Minor, and didn't notice it from the dryness of being NPO for 24 hours. Mine was just a little soreness/rawness nothing major though. 1 getlownurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lirpa 10 Posted June 22, 2013 I am brand new here. My surgery is scheduled for 6/25. In three days. I've been on skim milk diet for almost two weeks and they finally told me I could put Nestles no sugar added chocolate mix and it makes it so much more palatable.. 5 getlownurse, nursesettie, SheWins1 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morganne 241 Posted June 23, 2013 Have a popsicle question....do the popsicles melt b4 u finish them since u have to go slower' date=' or do u just let them melt and use a spoon?[/quote'] Hey! I'm day 4 and I love having Popsicles. I bought the sugar free kind from Walmart where you break them in half (2 sticks) I nibble them and I'm able to eat the whole thing before it melts. Try making Protein Popsicles! I purchased nectar lemonade and strawberry kiwi. They make awesome Popsicles. For some reason I do better with Popsicles than drinking. 2 SheWins1 and nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
