Soft Diet
Jul 22, 2009
Well today is my 3rd day on my soft food diet. I was so excited the first day, because I finally get to eat like real people. For breakfast I had 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1 egg. For lunch I had 1/4 cup of tuna with mayo and 2 saltine crackers. My NUT told me that if I have mac & cheese to eat meat with it for more protein and she said ground meats were ok in the soft phase if I could tolerate it, so for dinner I had mac & cheese and ground turkey. I had a 1/4 cup total and started feeling uncomfortable. The pain started getting worse and worse and my husband kept asking me if he needed to take me to the hospital because I looked uncomfortable. It hurt to breath. I asked him to please quit talking to me so I could stay calm and not think about the pain. I asked him to put up the leftovers so could go to the bathroom and as I was walking I started to get sick. So I don't have to go into details I got very sick and afterward the pain was gone. I guess that was my first bad experience and it wasn't pleasant. I will try mac & cheese by itself next time and see how that works, I think I will wait on the ground meats for awhile. Day two on my soft diet, I had to go to my first family gathering. I had 1 egg for breakfast with a thin slice of chicken breast lunch meat. I couldn't eat lunch and while everyone was eating BBQ for dinner, I packet 1/4 tuna with mayo and 2 saltines for dinner. I was able to keep everything down yesterday which I was happy about. Today I am going to have 1/4 cottage cheese for breakfast, and I'm not sure what from there.
