So, I am 10 days out. Other than having no energy and hating the taste of Protein shakes, I guess it's been okay. I am not used to it yet.

I am on full liquids, and I hate it. Not so much, "I want fried chicken" but more "I hate soup/protein shakes/anything liquid".

I ate a slice of turkey bacon...slowly. I KNOW it's way too early, but I just wanted some meat.

I have unflavored Protein powder, every cream and broth based Soup in a 5 mile radius, milk, Protein Shakes, greek yogurt in every flavor. I am so confused about what to eat. I don't like cottage cheese or things like that. I have sugar free popsicles for the crunch but the artificial sweetener makes my stomach upset and gassy.

I brought this up during my one week post op, but the clinician seemed disinterested, maybe she was having a bad day. She only suggested different flavors of greek yogurt (sigh...).

I don't want to fail this early on, and I kind of want to get a handle on it before the next stage...purees. Because, to be frank, the thought of eating blended meat makes me nauseous and I don't know how anyone does it. I also don't like eggs or mayo or mustard, so I have never had an egg salad or tuna salad or anything.

I guess I could live off of liquid Protein supplements and Clear Liquids until the solid food stage, but I really don't want to.

I just don't know what to do, so if anyone has any advice or encouragement, it would be greatly appreciated.

Love.

During liquid and soft I was really stuck too. Here are some things I ate that I liked...

-Applesauce. Goes down easy and a sweet snack also.

-Muscle milk light chocolate flavor. Love them as a protien pick up.

-frozen vreamed spinach-just heat in the miscrowave and bam dinner

-roasted sweet potatoes. Put in a baking dish sliced up sprinkle salt and some brown sugar bake for an hr on like 400. Yummy and easy on the tummy.

-roasted tom and red pepper soup. Heat add tablespoon of ricotta cheese. Stir in.

-coco shake-Coconut Water, 1 ripe bannana, nonfat greek yogurt, Protein powder, crushed pineapple. Blend with some ice. Best and fav smoothie.

-polenta with tomato sauce. Trader joes polenta heated add some marina to the top, good dinner.

-scramled eggs with light cheese and a bit of milk

-soft boiled eggs chopped up with salt and pepper

-look in the frozen section for pureed veggies like sweet pot or squash. Heat in microwave.

-sip on crystal light peach mango tea

-sip on hot tea

I got.really bored too, it's just for a short term period that you have to do this. Just keep on going with it and know that it may seem like a long time, but it's not that long and you just have to find things to eat that you like and do not make you sick.
