Crab cakes, tuna, crab cakes, crab cakes lol. Fat free cream of chicken soup

For the nausea, you might try a ginger tea - there are a number of them out there. Ginger naturally settles the stomach for many people, including me.

Peppermint tea or have your dr call you in some Reglan 5mg . You can take it 3 times a day

How to you make the crab cakes and tuna!

My book says only fresh cooked sweet potatoes.... but I'm starting see my book is designed by Nazis. Hints I had a piece of a chicken quesadella for dinner! Soft, chicken and cheeese.... was good

Crab rangoon would be EASY to do, minus the wonton wrapper and frying.

Try this (based on a crab rangoon recipe that I really like)

• 8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
  
• 5 oz crab meat, crumbled (canned is fine for this, but drain it!)
  
• 1 green onion, chopped
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced (do this to taste - I happen to like garlic in my rangoons, but you can totally skip it if you don't like it)
  
• 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  
• Blend this up until smooth. Voila, the insides of the crab rangoon! If you want it a bit thicker, add more crab and it should become less cream-cheesy and a bit more crabby

How far post op are you? If you don't mind me asking

Thus sounds good. Do you cook it in the oven or just eat it cold?

I'm pre-op, but I've had to deal with soft food diets before, and I've done a lot of research.

I'd say it would be good heated, but because it's cream cheese it would probably tend to get a little loose, so I would definitely put more crab in, or add a small amount of binder of some sort. I've done something like this as a cold appetizer on cucumber chips, which is what made me think of it.

3-4 weeks out I was on puréed foods only. I put everything except the cottage cheese and yogurt in a food processor. Fat free refried beans were so yummy. A helpful tip, remember its just like feeding a baby. Your new stomach can't handle some things. That's why we feed in stages. Try one new thing a day so you'll know what's upsetting your tummy. Feel better!
