I did good with the full fluid stage, and as I try and transition into the purée stage I'm struggling...big time!
I can handle scrabbled eggs, thick soups, mashed veggies, 1tbsp of mash potatoe (no more). However I can't do chicken, beef, chilli or anything thicker. Even when puréed. It's driving me crazy.
At this point I should be starting soft food and I can't keep purees down???
Breakfast is either a scramble egg or 1/3 cup of yogurt, 1/4 cup of oatmeal (ohhhh the excitement)
Lunch if at work....I stick to soups. I take 1 full cups an slipt it between 2 meals...with 2 soda crackers in each serving (yummy soggy crackers😝)
Supper...is where I'm willing to try something more puréed style (seeing as I generally get sick after trying I don't want to be doing that at work)
Tonight I had 1tbsp of puréed chicken and 2 tbsp of mashed veggies. Had maybe 2 baby spoon bites and that was it. I've tried puréed chilli, mashed potatoes with chicken, puréed roast beef and none of it stays
I go to my 1 month post op appointment next week (thankfully) and will hopefully get some answers....I'm still wondering if there is a sirture in there (and not just a swollen esophagus)
Again I said I was going to be honest, wasn't going to sugar coat my experience. I don't want to scare anyone but I also don't want to make it seem like a walk in the park either
How frustrating for you! It's weird that the breakfasts and lunches are fine but that the pureed dinner is giving you problems. Let us know what the doctor says.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep up the good work!!! You're doing great!
Thanks Martha. It's been a long couple weeks. In the end it will all be worth it (I hope). I'm down 10lbs this week (total of 71lbs since April)
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will have some answers either this week or next...I see some test/scopes in the near future though :(
