Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

I don't puree my eggs. I add feta and they are sorry enough. Today i broiled talapia and sauteed kale, spinach, peppers, onions and lemon juice and white cooking wine. I put the veggies in the ninja and put them atop the fish....it was so yummy. Eat very small bites.....

Soft not sorry..lol

My biggest problem is I can't stand fish of any kind. What other options do I have?

Ok. In my own room and already feeling pretty Dang good!

Surgery was a like 10am' date=' was only in 30-40 minutes. I had some lain when I woke up, but they hit me with Dilaudid and I have no pain at all now....other than GAS! OMG!

I've never wished for a 'toot' as much as I have these last few hours!!!! I'm walking two laps around the entire floor I'm on every hour...still nothing. They just gave me a Gas-X melt strip...we'll see if that helps.

What worked for you????[/quote']

Just keep walking, that worked for me..(:

My nutritionist also said i can cook chicken and then puree it or make chicken salad with lowfat mayo.

Maybe tofu' I'm gonna grill it when get to stage 3

You could also do mashed or boiled potato. Season with herbs, garlic, etc. I also tried low salt lean deli meat.... chopped really finely and ate with eggs.

Oh Phillynurse! That actually sounds really good. Any more ideas would be much appreciated! Those sound awesome though

Isn't scrambled egg whites enough??? I mean that alone is pretty soft and tiny

Yes that is why I have tried them without pureeing them and it was fine. I just dont like them any more period lol!

I had my 2 week post op appt and my NUT said you are blending everything right? I said yes but if the foos is mushy enough I am not! I'm passed this stage lol. Tonight I am having parmesan crusted cod. I refuse to blend that! I will be taking small small bites and chewing until mush.

I am very careful what I'm eating as I do not want to hurt my new tummy

I made tuna fish like this but uaed plain greek yogurt and it was tasty

I guess I should consider myself lucky' date=' as I can drink an 11oz protien shake in one sitting (during the span of 20 mins). I am also able to eat a cup of non-fat yogurt in the same amount of time. Between yougurt and shakes, I sip on water. I no longer suffer from gas pain, though I can still feel it. Im making sure to get in as much walking as possible. Tomorrow is one week post-op. Looking forward to eating real food.[/quote']

I too can drink a lot. I'm not sure about that cup amount but I can do btwn 1/4-1/2 depending on what it is. I am 2 weeks today

DivaNurse and Susan, I'm so sorry to hear about all you've been going through. I pray that things just continue to get better from here.

Thank God DivaNurse that you made it out ok. I will continue to pray for your speedy recovery.

One of our biggest fears are leaks or some unforeseen medical emergency.

Continue to keep us posted on your progress. It's so hard being the patient when we are so accustomed to being the caregiver.

People on the forums kept saying how they threw up eggs. I really hope I don't have that expierience as I'm limited to foods as is especially since I don't like cooked veggies or fish!! I'm so excited to try food tomorrow and I just keep praying it agrees with me

So tomorrow I am FINALLY able to start mushy foods! Sooo excited! I've been on nothing but liquids for four weeks now and I am going insane!!!!! I'm going to try an start with an egg white omelette as I've been craving one for weeks(so sad that THIS is exciting to me now). I was wondering if anyone has any other good ideas for mushy foods. I'm a really super picky eater so any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I just ate cheese! Yum! Going to have a scrambled egg for dinner! Never thought I would appreciate chewing so much!

What week are you?
