Re: Loser I get a lot of air in my sleeve. Eat, burp. Drink, pain, then burp. I wonder if this is my life from now on. Burp.

I am craving egg. I was thinking soft boiled might be the way to go, at least at first. Yesterday was my first day on mushy foods. I ate about 1-2 tsp of mashed potatoes (yes, they were buttery), and 1-2 tsp of applesauce. I was satisfied, but put my left overs in the frig for today. I tried them again this evening. Same amount eaten. My hubby tried to use the blender to give me some chicken, but he added too much broth. The result was a very brothy mix with itty bitty pieces of chicken. It tasted soooo good, but after two or three sips, I threw up the whole mess. It still had a good flavor on the way out. It probably never made it to the bottom of my sleeve. I'm determined to eat some of the chicken. I'm have a lot of trouble getting enough protein. I can't eat but a few spoonfulls of food or 1/4 c of protein drinks. All my literature some how leaves out the amount of protein that I should be eating on week 4. I'm tempted to try a tortilla with egg. There's that egg again. I guess I just miss the taste. My sis suggested that I try tortilla strips to eat some of the mushy foods from (sort of like a dip). Anyone tried that? I'm so jealous that some of you all can eat real foods just a few weeks out. My doctor seems to think I am doing fine. I had blood work, and I'm not dehydrated, but I did contract Colitis. Bummer, huh?
