Brief history:

Sleeved on 4/10 w/hernia repair

Hospitalized from 4/27 to 4/30 - unable to eat or drink without excruciating pain.

CT scan showed inflammation and erosion (stomach and esophagus) from years of heartburn/reflux

Started on Carafate (Sucralfate) on 4/27 (still taking it now)

Doctor put me back on liquid diet (including yogurt and other things of that texture)

5/23 Doctor wants me to add chicken (soft, not pureed), fish and eggs to diet. Berries, Beans, cheese and veggies that have been cooked to death are okay, too. I am getting maybe 300 calories a day and that's probably exaggerating it. My sleeve is very tight, so I need something that packs a punch. Protein shakes are really starting to make me ill. I know it's mostly psychological, but still.

I need some meal suggestions. I have an aversion to food right now and would rather not eat anything, but of course I have to. (Never thought I would go from one extreme to another!)

Nothing acidic - so tomatoes and tomato sauce are big no-no's.

I have a crock pot, so feel free to suggest crock pot meals. Eggs don't sit that well with me. Feel free to even suggest meals including meats that I can't have yet - I'm great at substitutions.

Thanks in advance and my apologies if I don't respond right away - I'm doing school work (okay, really I'll probably be playing World of Warcraft, but I promise to read at least a chapter).

Since you have a crock pot, the sky is the limit. I really like pork cooked in the crockpot, although you may have to get creative about sauces since tomatoes are out. Almost anything is better, in my opinion, with some kind of sauce cooked with it. You can do beans in the crockpot as well. Pink beans cook up easily and don't have the same gas properties as pinto beans, plus dried beans are really cheap. You can up the protein content of beans quickly with just a little meat, and it adds flavor. Cooked pinto beans can be turned into refried beans fairly easily and can be "just" pureed to make a dip of sorts if that sounds appealing to you.

Is there anything that makes meat softer than a crock pot? A pressure cooker?

Yes butterbean pressure cookers make meat really soft. For a double whammy you can start the meat in the pressure cooker and finish in the crock pot.
