Hi Donna, I am not yet on the soft foods part, but how did you survive the full

liquids part? I had surgery on the 19th and I can hardly stomach one more soup

or broth. Any ideas? On my soft food plan they have all previous things like

applesauce, yogurt etc and then Soft scrambled eggs, thin sliced deli meat,

avocado, tuna, lf cheese, saltines fish, finely shredded moist chicken. I would

think the canned chicken with a little lf mayo and some of the broth might work.

I pretty much skipped the soft stages. I would just chew my food really

well. I couldn't do eggs. Always made me sick. One can only have so

much oatmeal. And I don't like cottage cheese. That really only left

yogurt. So, I bought the pre cooked chicken in the deli meat section &

just chewed it really well. It was super moist. Sorry I can't be of

more help!

I could not wait to get to meats. I ate cottage cheese with peaches, lunch

meats, cheeses, etc... I loved chicken when I was able to get to it.

, I couldn't handle the broth and jello's at all, for my liquid diet, I

ended up drinking ONLY water for 1 1/2 wks. I just couldn't do anything else. I

was So looking forward to the soft diet by the time I was able to.

I couldn't do the eggs and I couldn't handle canned chicken for a few months

believe it or not. Now I eat it a couple of times a week.

My canned chicken, I buy tyson and add avocado, sliced cherry tomatoes, table

blend Mrs. Dash, and a touch of mayo and mustard. I think take a rice cake and

spread a thin layer of whipped cream cheese and put my chicken mix on top,

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it and its healthy.

Not sure how soon you will be able to enjoy this recipie. Sometimes you just

have to try a little bit at a time and decide what works and what you have to

hold off on.

Best Wishes,

Shauna

If you have a super wal mart in your area, they have a drinkable

yogurt smoothie made by blue bunny that is really good. It has 13

grams of protein, 5 grams of carbs & sugar and 130 calories. I

would drink that in the morning for breakfast/ It's really good they

have a blackberry and strawberry. ~ in CA

Donna, I bought the low carb Smart Ones Frozen dinners until I could

figure out how to eat for my new lifestyle. The meats were really

tender, so I was able to get protien. I couldn't finish a whole one,

but it satisfied me. Just a thought.

[Guest guest]

I get the healthy choice meals, and just eat the meat portion and if I am

still hungry some of the veggies.....I never touch that dessert crap.

I still have rain checks for them Mike. They work out to $.91 each

for the 5-9oz ones. Now that's a deal!

Once past the pureed stage, I was told that nothing is " off limits " as

long as it is tolerated. The nutritionist suggests trying a small bite

of something chewed very well (at home just in case) and seeing how it

sits. If it doesn't, she says to try again a few days later. Also just

do one new thing at a time so you'll know exactly what caused the

problem if you have one.

I've found the biggest issue early on is remembering to thoroughly

chew everything. It's very easy to forget to do that. If you forget,

you'll know it and it doesn't take many times before you remember. The

only problems I've had so far I've been able to attribute to

swallowing something too large to pass through the stoma.

Do either one of you Mike T and Mike in GR know approximately how

many ounces of protein are in one of those? I found the Smart Ones

typically has at least 2oz of protien...and they are really tasty.

It depends on the size. Healthy Choice has something like 3-4 types

of meals. The ones I eat are 5-9oz and usually have 13-20g of protein

which isn't much but then they're only 200-250 calories too. I just

try to get 30g+ in other meals.

Healthy Choice's website is down until the new year. I'll get you

links to the ones I bought for 10 for $10 get 11th free at Meijer.

My surgeons office was big into getting at least 15g a meal to get

nearly 50g a day. I try to keep my protein at/above 100g a day with

my workouts.
