Well, I'm now on a pureed diet and I don't know HOW well I'm doing.

I ate eggs one day (hus make his scrambled eggs a little different than mine) but none the less I can tolerate his eggs but not mine. Unless my food is really liquidy kind of like the first foods of Gerber baby food, I can't tolerate it. Even the protein drinks are too think and I vomit it back up too or it takes extremely long to get down. My surgeon said she's upgrading my diet to soft food on Jan 12th and I don't see how that's even possible if I can't tolerate much past the seriously pureed food how am I EVER going to tolerate soft anything. Although I'm not hungry, it is so frustrating makes me want to just stick with clear and full liquids. It's pretty bad that I have to puree creamy soups but if I don't I'll vomit. Is my stoma too small? Or will it eventually stretch some with time? What so dramatic will change between now and three weeks from now? Help. Also, My protein is mixed with milk. My diet calls for after a meal 1/4 c. milk in 30 mins and another 1/4 c milk in another 30 mins. Is it cheating on my diet if I increase my milk as to thin out this protein (I don't have a problem drinking milk, I rather like it). At least until my appetite is better. How much milk per day can I have anyways? Thanks for your help. Terri
