Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Ooooooh we get to talk about food!! First thing-- Women's One a Day (has lots of Calcium) Breakfast-- Extreme Sausage sandwich from Jack in the Box (sub croissant cus there are fewer carbs and it tastes better) Most of a Hashbrown and Ice tea Lunch-- Double Cheesburger from Jacks (I love that place) Pickles only-- no bun..plus more Ice tea Dinner-- About 10 oz Roast Beef 1/4c Green Beans 1/4c Mashed Potatoes and lots of gravy. Snack another Vitimin and a snickers crunch (I just discovered them and BOY are they good) Plus probably close to a gallon of weak tea with a bit of lemonaide tossed mixed in.. This was a hungry day. Usually I'd have either breakfast or lunch-- not both. Close to a year out I've lost about 120lbs with another 40 to go.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I would make stuff like baked spaghetti,stuffed shells and mush it up for my son. Any kind of casseroles are good and easy to go down cause they are soft. Squash casserole,chicken casseroles,pot pie etc.. JUsh mush it up : ) Dont know your situation, but this is what we did weeks after surgery when he could start with more foods. Beware cause some people cant eat rice and pastas as it is hard for them. Waht have you had done or are you just suffering with it going down in general?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Havent had any surgery yet, am waiting for information on this at my next consultation in a week or so. At the minute all i am eating is soup and mash potato. I cant eat pasta or rice or any meat. I need to eat thing with the same consistancy as mash and really soft, mushy things. But i am running out of ideas. i could try mushing up the pasta i guess and see how that goes down. thanks for the tips > > > > Just wanted peoples help on things to eat as i am running out of ideas. i eat soup and mashed potato and veg most days but am really bored with this. any alternatives to try and get something that tastes good and is good for me? > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You could always go out to get a peanut butter whey protein smoothie at tropical smoothie cafe...if they have one in your area. I think they are about 2000 calories. I could never finish it in one sitting. - JQ ________________________________ From: " sarahanne84@...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 , Pre-myotomy, my goal was to do anything that would get calories/protein into my body - I lost 25% of my body weight in less than 6 months. I drank lots of Ensure, ice cream/shakes, cashews, sport drinks (Gatorade, etc.) and water. I'm not sure how much of it actually stayed down, but I at least enjoyed the taste for the moment. Other folks have had success with fizzy drinks, either by themselves, or to help wash things down. Anything you can get to stay down is good, and the more nutrition the better. I'd advise trying different things, especially things you like. You'll naturally gravitate to what works. Lee in Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hi Lee, thanks for the reply. I try and eat things like this too, i have never had a sweet tooth and i find if i eat too much yoghurt or ice cream i have bad migranes in the evening. i have been eating weetabix which seems to surpress the hunger pains a little longer. i feel so tired most days. i lost 2 stone within a few months of having achalasia and then a further 1/2 stone recently as things are gradually getting more difficult to eat. i think i may try protein shakes inbetween what i can eat. > > , > > Pre-myotomy, my goal was to do anything that would get calories/protein into my body - I lost 25% of my body weight in less than 6 months. > > I drank lots of Ensure, ice cream/shakes, cashews, sport drinks (Gatorade, etc.) and water.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I am really not good with computers but I have posted many blender recipes for soups, smoothies etc. made in blender with multiple yummy ingredients- fruits and vegetables of all kinds etc. I was really satisified, the tastes were delicious and everything was healthy and easy to get down after surgery. If someone could direct you to previous posts of mine that is good but if not, go to and Nobles and browse the " smoothie " books. Lots of good stuff!! all my best dawn achalasia From: toniasdogsandi@... Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:16:35 +0000 Subject: Re: What do you eat?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I will have a search around for some of your previous posts. I compiling a list of possible recipes.

It depends on how bad your LES is. It is going to sound crazy but I have a minced shrimp white pizza (no tomato sauce) that is easy to get down. First, I don't use a normal pizza type of crust. I use a tortilla. I oil both sides. You can use oil, butter or even pesto. I use olive oil on the bottom and pesto as the sauce on top. Bread is often hard to swallow, but the oiled tortilla is different and tends to slide down easy. You can mince some onion and garlic for on top and then minced shrimp. If you want you can precook the garlic and shrimp like a shrimp scampi. On that I place my cheese and then some chopped basil and/or spinach. Chop them up fine. You can also finely chop black or even green olives to add to it if you like. I put it in a preheated 350 degree 12 inch toaster oven until the cheese is melted and the outer edges of the tortilla are brown, about 5 min.. With that thin tortilla it cooks very fast. With so little bread and all that oil, pesto and cheese this is one slippery snack. If you need to mince things very fine you can throw all the toppings, other than the cheese, in a blender, which would help to get all the toping oiled from the pesto. If this pizza works for anyone, or it inspires other ideas, I would love to hear it. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I am not sure about giving advice about things to eat. There was a time that mashed potatoes was a hard thing for me. Seems everyone is different. One thing that always has helped me is drinking a hot liquid while and after eating. I think I keep the Alpine spiced cider manufacturer in business by myself. It seems to work better than anything else for me. I think the bitterness of coffee or tea hinders its effectiveness. Maybe you would be able to eat a wider variety of stuff. > > Just wanted peoples help on things to eat as i am running out of ideas. i eat soup and mashed potato and veg most days but am really bored with this. any alternatives to try and get something that tastes good and is good for me? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Seems lots of folks mentioning problems with bread, chicken, rice, some other meats too. Me too, all those. My limited time here I have not yet seen those advocating sippin cocacola / pepsicola with meals. For me it works most times, at least for now, those little bubbles seems to stimulate the E and help tell (fool it?)it to swallow. In fact get similar effect with other gassy carbonated drinks ... sparkling water, bottled beer (Bud best). Regret that the foamy head on a UK beer is still a no no.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thought I'd bump this up, as it sounds *fantastic*!! Since I'm pretty much full blender right now, thought I'd add something I not only CAN eat, but LOVE, even in its blenderized form. A blenderized salad! Need to mention first that " liquefying " most things, especially fresh veggies and shrimp turns them into mush, which you DON'T want. If you put a couple of cups of cold water in the blender first, add chunked (cucumbers,lettuce, carrots, cabbage, uncooked broccoli, shrimp, etc) give it a few *pulses* and then drain in a strainer: you get an extremely finely *minced* food. . . . Something that if you drink enough liquid will go easily down a 2mm opening, which some of us have. Using those instructions: blender-mince a cup of chunked cucumber, drain (I use the water in my ever-going crock pot for stock), and one cup of frozen salad shrimp, thawed, blender-minced. Mix the two together, add a good dollop of sour cream, salt, garlic, white pepper and a LOT of dill. Wonderful. If you want a cold summer soup, simply add a cup of buttermilk to the above.
