Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 , You really can't do a little chicken at 3 weeks? Maybe I waited until four weeks now that I think about it. But you might want to try a small bite soon. CHEW A LOT until it is pureed essentially. I used to, and still do, take a can of chunked chicken, mix it with some spices or a little BBQ sauce, microwave for 1-1.5 minutes and it's fantastic. Can't you do/try a can of tuna fish with fat free mayo, mustard and some dill pickle relish? When I was stuck with soft food I'd take fat free cottage cheese and mix in a packet of taco seasoning. Sounds gross maybe but it was pretty tasty. I've heard others here talk about mixing in Ricotta cheese too, that sounds great. Heck for that matter you could mash the whole mess in with some refried beans for fiber. I did mix in salsa too and would spice it up with some hotter things too .yum. I suppose Mexican gets old quick though. Not for me, I could eat it all day, probably part of my problems eh? Maybe you could try some other things like French onion dip powder? That might have some fat in it though from milk solids. You could try introducing some fat free cream cheese into the mix. I think there's some French onion variation on that too. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Let us know if you find anything else out that works though because I'm sure others are interested in this too.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Wow, congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome! I haven't tried refried beans yet. I am afraid of the gas. If I eat just a little broccoli, I can't sleep at night because they need to fart keeps waking me up! LOL! Yech! Right now my fave food is Dannon Light and Fit yogurts. I seem to have developed a taste for lemon, orange, and lime stuff. My favorite sugar free popsicles are now the orange ones. I used to be a grape person, but now I crave orange!

Refried beans are starting to become annoying like jello though, and you all know I hate JELLO. Anyone have any different ways of cooking them. Right now I cook them with salsa and cheese. My biggest problem though is sleep, I use a CPAP machine and the seting was always 15 and now the Doctors won't allow it above a 5 sooo it has become much more difficult to sleep. Well thats my news Quote
