I have had no trouble with spices and chili. I agree with the others though, stay away from sugar and candy.

So I've realized that I'm not going to survive on Protein Shakes much longer without going mad, so was looking for some reccos for flavorless Protein powders that I could mix in with my broth, sugar free pudding, etc? Any recommendations?
Would also love if anyone has favorite protein waters they'd recommend!
Thanks in advance

I agree. I bought a 20 ounce vacumn jug and keep it filled with ice Water. I sip it throughout the day and I think that does help.

@Knight32206 Great advice, I really miss crushing 20oz of Water in a sitting with no issue. I used to be so hydrated. But now I got permanent cotton mouth... The worst. So yea, gotta learn to carry water around at all times. I made some food today as puree starts tomorrow. Can't wait. I may have had a slice of turkey the other day with no issue either, but don't tell my Dr.
@FamilyGuyNJ Yea, I miss chunky peanut butter...but I'll have to look into that PB2 stuff. Never enjoyed the "natural" stuff... and powder seams even worse in theory...
@Kurt W Thanks for the advice. I have a 7 mouth pup and so we go for some walks around the dog park. Can't wait to be able to lift weights again. Cause I know I'll need to maintain the muscle I have.
As for Protein, Isopure is a easy 40g per day, and my Protein Shakes I dump a 2 scoops and make them extra thick to get some added protein. So I think if I continue that, it will be great.
I think reality is slowly hitting me that I'm dropping lb's really quick right now. I'm currently the weight I was 5 years ago at 50lbs down. Which is awesome and my wife continues to drop me some solid compliments that fill my ego up.
Haven't felt these feelings in a while... surreal.

I have used a straw almost since getting home; it makes thick Protein Shakes go down easier. I have never had a problem with swallowing too much air. Perhaps I am doing it wrong, er, right?

When I get to the stage I can eat something crunchy I plan on trying this recipe: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2013/10/cheesy-crackers-simple-joy-of-homemade.html

I am at the soft food stage - shredded chicken is one of the "allowed" foods. Next week I can try low-carb wraps.

I took two chicken breasts, covered them with wing sauce, and put them in my slow cooker for about 5 hours. They were juicy and shredded easily. I put the meat in a plastic container, added some addition wing sauce and shook it up to coat evenly. Tonight I took a couple of ounces, put it in a bowl with some more wing sauce and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese. 40 seconds in the microwave and I had tangy buffalo chicken. My stomach had no problem with the spice (YMMV).
