Introduction to new "foods"

[mbuczkowski 272]

I am afraid to try new foods after tonight. Tomorrow I am on full liquids. I tried to make drinkable yogurt with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. I had about a tsp. of it and my tummy twisted and turned in an unhappy manner.

Maybe buy an Oikos drinkable yogurt. The strawberry one is delicious. Yougurt is heavy though. Maybe it's best to stick to Protein Shakes for now. The premier ones from costco are super tasty.

I am going to try my Protein Shake instead of the yogurt this morning. Praying things don't go sour

I'm on the pureed stage now and even super soft foods have been hit and miss. I tried an egg on the first day and it felt like it sat heavy in my stomach. Had one last night though and it tasted great and went down easy this time. Anything new I'm really leery about. Even if I can manage 4 oz of food I limit new things. It does seem like I've had a tougher time with dairy products than other foods. I've always loved yogurt but post-op it was difficult to eat some days. Today I had a Greek yogurt for Breakfast and it went down much easier than one I tried a few days ago.

I'm about half way through my shake and so far, so good

I didn't finish the shake by 2 oz.

For lunch I pulled out the yogurt mixture I made. It took about 1.5 hours to get 8oz. But the stomach was ok with it!

Tonight will be cream of chicken Soup.

I'm almost two months post op and I'm afraid of new foods, too. But, I'm also excited about new foods because I'm so tired of the old ones. LOL Sometimes it's like I'm afraid of food. I'm going to my support group on Monday and I hope someone brings it up.
