Frustration

[my new beginning 2016 13]

Hi everyone, I'm 24 days post op had the sleeve done. I've seen my doctor and nutritionist twice already and was sent for i.v fluids and nausea medication. These last few weeks have not been easy but I get it this is a complete life change but the reason why im so frustrated is because I've now become sensitive to lactose and can not tolerate any milk products and even worse my allergy to soy is more sensitive than ever... what im really hoping for is help or advice on food ideas. To be completely honest im just sick of only Greek yogurt, Crystal light, broths but thankfully I can now handle a very soft chicken and green Beans. I can only still have tiny amonts of anything period couple sips of Protein or Water at a time and 2 or 3 bites of soft foods. My nutritionist also told me to stay away from Pasta, crackers, potatoes and rice. If anyone can tell me what their eating or ideas of things I can try soy and milk free please and thanks. Good luck too all my fellow pre and post op friends

I would cook a few chicken breasts in the crockpot with cream of chicken or cheese Soup. Cook all day then shred. It will be super soft and easy to keep the leftovers in the fridge for multiple meals.

Have you given deli sliced turkey a try? just watch out for the sodium level and try to find a low sodium one.

Also the flavored pouches of tuna and salmon were a staple of my soft foods phase. I also baked tilapia in either a foil or parchment paper pouch which helps keep it moist - just don't overcook!

Ty I have tried this but plan since most of everything contains soy and I can't do milk products

Ty I will try and I did find tuna in the packet today soy free unlike the can they all contained soy.

I also have a soy allergy and completely understand your frustration. Have you tried canned chicken yet? It's pretty tasty and you can use it in lots of recipes-chicken salad, chicken Soup, straight out of the can. Also how about refried Beans? I also cook up a package of ground turkey breast with taco seasoning and add that to the refried Beans (you can purée the turkey if you are still on puréed).
