A few questions
Ok here goes:
1) Marilyn--I can't find that egg custard recipe you suggested to Justin. Do you have it? It sounds good.
2)I am in the middle of the pureed phase and I'm about tired of yogurt,refried beans, scrambled eggs, tuna, and shakes. Any suggestions? I have about 10 more days before the soft diet. I really haven't been able to tolerate(read: can't stand!) the protein powders. Or protein bullets.I loved them pre-op, but now, I can't even smell them without gagging. On the other hand, I having had ANY N&V, so that's a good thing right? I am getting about 50-60g protein a day. And all my fluids.
Thanks, erika

Erika,
Here is the egg custard:
4 large eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 1/2 cups fat free evaporated milk
1/2 cup Splenda
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
pinch salt
grated nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 6 custard cups (1/2 c) in a large roasting pan and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, milk, evaporated milk, Splenda, vanilla, and salt. Pour through a sieve into a large measuring cup. Divide evenly among the custard cups and sprinkle a generous amount of nutmeg on eat if desired. Place pan on oven rake. Pour enough ho****er in the pan to come halfway up the sides of the custartd cups being careful not to splash into cups. Bake fopr 25 to 35 minutes until custards are set in the center. Carefully remove from water bath and cool.
If you have never cooked with a water bath, this will sound intimidating but it is really easy and after the first time it is no big deal...and these custards are worth it!
When I was in the pureed phase, I also ate pureed Wendy's chili, and I baked chicken breast with some spices and stock and pureed it in the blender and ate it. I also made protein jello with my protein bullets and SF jello. You don't have far to go, hope this helps!Oh, hummus, I ate that too!

I used the EAS AdvantEdge Carbcontrol ready to drink shakes early post-op. You can find them at walmart. These were the easiest for me early out before I discovered AchievOne and my current drink - Worldwide Sport. I have never really liked messing with powders personally. I don't have any suggestions for pureed foods b/c I never really couldn't stomach pureed. I chewed the heck out of everything! I didn't have any trouble.
