Food
I am having a HUGE issue with food right now and was wondering if any of you have had this experience.
I am in the pureed stage and am running out of things to eat because once I eat something I cannot stomach it again. For example: last week I was given the okay to have egg salad and my mouth watered as I made it and enjoyed as I ate it...ONCE. Now the thought of egg salad makes me nauseous. Same scenario with refried beans, black beans, chicken salad, and even roast beef hash. I eat them once and can't stomach the thought of trying them again. AARGH...don't know what to do and i desperately need to stick to higher protein foods because I am also struggling with getting protein drinks down.
I really miss food. More than I ever thought I would. I cant do protein shakes, they make me gag ugh! I sure hope this gets better with time.. everyone keeps saying "Oh your just a newbie it will get better".
Good luck on some new foods!
I love my protein drinks - I use Z Pro 25 - 25 grams of protein and come in vanilla and chocolate. I mix either flavor with have decaf coffee and half water and add in 1/8 tsp vanilla extract to either flavor. Use a shaker and add ice and they are wonderful. Also ProTi 15 drink mix has 15 grams of protein and I really like the PeachMango and Wildberry flavors.
Also, try taking a non-stick skillet sprayed with Pam and crack 1 or 2 eggs into it. Basically "fry" them over easy and then put in a small bowl. Cut them up and add a little salt. Tastes like a soft boiled egg only much easier to make!
Hope this helps a little! Good luck!
