Topic: RE: Whatcha Eatin?
Oh my gosh! I have been craving pickles too! What is with that? I do protein shake 1-2x a day, low fat cottage cheese, greek yogurt with fruit at the bottom, pureed chicken, pureed broc, mashed sweet potatoes with some apple sauce, cooked and pureed peaches, soups, and fudgie pops!
I tried some crab meat... NOT pureed and thought I would quite literally die, The pain was so intense and waves of it kept coming till I was able to throw it up... Lesson learned!
I think I will start to venture out and try some eggs... are hard boiled yolks to much for us right now? I think I will start out scrambled or hard boiled whites.
I can't wait till our food options are more varied!

I get the greek yogurt with the fruit at the bottom... I like it and it doesn't hurt to eat!
Topic: RE: Hi, guys! How are you all?
I am feeling pretty good, although a little more tired in the evenings than normal.
I am struggling to get in all the protein, but also to calculate it as well. I am on soft foods and can only comfortably manage 1/4 cup at a time.
We made a thick bean and chicken soup the other day - how much protein is in that?
I have taken a fancy to a slice of blue cheese at night- how do you work out the protein in a smallish slice? (Does everyone weigh their foods? Can an oz be a measure of volume as well as weight?)
I drink a protein shake for breakfast with skim milk (28g protein) and try to add half a spoonful (10g protein) at lunch to my puree.
I think I am going to have to sit and figure it out seriously, if i am going to succeed at this!
Also don't drink 64 oz daily,mostly I manage 48oz.
As an excuse I work full time and when I start working I don't stop for several hours- eating snacks is not an option and thus why I end up drinking 32 oz of fluid after dinner, just to make up my daily allowance!

Topic: RE: What can we take for Heartburn?
I am taking chewable lansoprazole. seems to keep it under control, although if I don't take it for a day or 2 I can feel it.
I am going to have to try tablets soon. Lets hope they don't get stuck!

Topic: RE: Fluid sources
I agree with you all, I can't stand Gatorade, Powerade..any kind of ade...lol I've been drinking mostly apple juice, juicy juice, s/f Hawaiian punch (the red one) and straight up water. We need more options...lol
Topic: RE: Whatcha Eatin?
It is funny that were all eating something different. I've been eating eggs & cheese, soft fruit in it's on juice like peaches, yogurt, cheese, deli meat, refried beans, potatoes. I want a pickle soooo bad...lol...but I'm not brave enough to try that yet. But I am having a hard time finding some protein that I can actually tolerate. Any suggestions?

Try some Maalox Maxium Strength. That works for me. Hope you get to feeling better.

Tried chili last night. I haven't been crazy about a lot of foods lately, eating is a chore, but it tasted okay.
HOWEVER, I woke up this morning with heartburn.
Can we take anything for heartburn? Tums, maybe?

It is crazy that each of us has a different diet. I am cleared to eat anything that I want with the exception of pasta and sticky foods.
Yesterday I ate some chili for lunch and shrimp and green beans for dinner
Today I ate an egg, and turkey sausage with cheese mixed in.
