Food Idea's

Anyone have any ideas for me. I am 7 weeks out and i trying to eat moist type foods. The issue is i am sick of turkey meat loaf, eggs, greek yogurt. I have tried turkey burgers and it did not work out to wel.. I dont like beans at all.. Can anyone give me some ideas.. Is there any veggies juice out there besides V8? I dont like tomato juice. Is this a common issue for everyone too? Scott

Cottage cheese is what I ate. I also used whatever meat and put it in the blender with some ff mayo. I also ate tons of egg salad. I prefer mustard instead of mayo for that so I didn't worry about fat with that. I am not sure about sugar or if they have a sugar free but the v-fusion is pretty decent. Good luck!

I think this is a pretty common issue. I know I found probably 8-10 items that agreed with my pouch, and I ate them until I just couldn't stand it any more. It was hard to try new things, as discovering they didn't agree with my pouch was unpleasant to say the very least. Here's some things that worked for me: - light fruit flavored yogurt - cottage cheese w/ really finely diced canned peaches or pears (canned in their own juice, not syrup) - canned tuna or canned chicken, can mix w/ a little light or fat-free mayo if you want - sugar-free pudding - I'd make a package of the sugar-free Jello pudding w/ skim milk and add 1/3 c. of non-fat powdered milk to bump up the protein - cream cheese pudding - 1 small package sugar-free pudding mix, 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese, softened, 2 c. skim milk - put in all in the blender or mix it with a stick/immersion blender - I like it made w/ chocolate pudding and would sometimes add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter too - I had better luck early out with fish rather than chicken, beef, turkey or pork. Tilapia was one of my favorites and my pouch really liked it. My nutritionist suggested that I try proteins in the order of swim, fly, walk (fish, poultry, beef/pork), and that worked pretty well for me. - I didn't eat this early out, but today I like the Special K Low Carb Lifestyle cereal - it has 10 g. of protein per serving, and since cereal/milk chews up to a nice mushy consistency, your pouch might like it too. I hope some of this is helpful; good luck finding some new foods that agree with your pouch!!! Kellie

If you can stomach it, I LIVED on CP Srimp Won Ton soup from Costco. It is all I could keep down the first 4 months (till they found out I have an ulcer and treated that). They recetnly started carrying them at Safeway as well. Not sure what stores you have in area, but I hope you can find them.

I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chickens from Costco, which I think are really moist. I would also buy the peach/mango salsa at Costco and spoon it on my torn-up bits of chicken, which was really good. I still do this, actually. Yum. Sometimes I would mix non-fat cottage cheese, chicken, some of the salsa, and some Kraft fat-free shredded cheddar cheese for a protein-packed meal. It looks kind of gross, but it is good.
