Today is the fifth day I have been on puree foods and I have to say I hate it.
I haven't been able to finish any meal or snack and it takes ages to finish a drink.
So even though I'm trying, I haven't gotten enough protein or fluids this week yet.
After 4 or 5 teaspoons of food I'm totally full and it takes hours before I feel like I could try to eat again.
I have been eating different proteins throughout the day and have also had some fruits and veggies. Some of the foods I have had are: Scrambled egg, porridge, baked beans, yoghurt, chicken, pork, mashed potato, peas, corn, sweet potato, cauliflower, carrot, apples, pineapple, bolognaise, cheese, iceblocks.
The texture of pureed meat is just wrong... makes me gag at the thought of it. Am finding it hard to eat.
Pureed fruit or veg tastes yummy but doesn't give the needed protein!
I can only manage like half an egg. Baked beans are yummier than ever and are good protein but have too much sugar to have everyday. The chobani yoghurt has twice as much protein as regular yoghurt.
The pineapple tasted so good but made me feel sick with trapped burps shortly after that lasted hours.
So I am really struggling. I bought some different things to try. Mixed meat dip (that I will be having without any bread or crackers), canned shredded chicken, baby apples, mixed bean dips, etc. Will see how they go.
On another note, I finished my injections yesterday so my bruises can start healing.
Weightwise, I have been jumping on scales a few times this week, haven't lost much so far. Official weigh in tomorrow.
I will be taking my measurements in a few days! Yay!
Can't wait til next food stage - 9 more days
=)
