Question: I am on pureed/soft foods. I have been eating tuna and canned chicken w a little bit of mayo to keep it moist. Think it is ok to add some hard boiled egg??

Yes, lots of people eat egg salad or chicken/tuna salad. Just use light mayo You can also have scrambled eggs

Milk choices? I have been using Silk Lite Milk, but don't like it by itself. What other milk products have other people used. I would like to be closer to milk flavor.

Hey all, wondering how you guys are doing in terms of calories each day? I'm about a month post-op and was very hungry today. Been up since 7:30a and had 760 cals so far! I haven't eaten this much since surgery! Is this normal? I have an ulcer and I'm so freaked out that it perforated or something. I dunno if this surgery was good for me! My anxiety is about off the hook! I worry too much about everything! Lol.

I did it guys!!!!!

700 calories, 61g Protein (my nut only requires 60), and will be at 32oz of Water before bed. Water could be better, but this is my best day so far. Not to mention my potassium symptoms are gone and I've successfully completed 2 days of nursing school. (Was terrified of failing due to not feeling well) AND I got my first THREE iv attempts in the first try. I'm amazing

Thats. Awesome Jodi. Glad you found what needed to be done, you go girl!!

I drink lactaid fat free milk. I love it. Its not like a skim milk or anything. I was always a milk drinker till i became lactose intolerant several years ago. Glad i came across Lactaid i was scared at first. But its good. The only soy product i can drink is the Silk dark chocolate milk. 90 calories. Going to put my unflavored Protein mix in it to see if it mixes well.

Great job today Jodi ! I drink skim milk. I would like to try the almond milk next week and see if I like it since I've never tasted it.

I loved the almond milk! Made the switch about 2 years ago and it's really good! Unfortunately, my nut won't let me have it now!

[jodimc 117]

Pretty sure my NUT said no to almond milk, too. Can't remember why, but it's in my manual.
