I was doing so great. Liquids, pureed, no problem with anything I tried. No problem hitting my liquid and protein goals.
Now, soft foods is so frustrating. I can't eat enough to hit my protein goals so I still have to drink one shake a day. I really want to get from them everyday and use when in a pinch.
More importantly, I can't find anything to eat except the same few things over and over which is getting old FAST!
I made slow roasted chicken for dinner, I figured it was safe because I have already had chicken salad both pureed and normal without issues. I was wrong, it was not safe. It hurt my stomach (1 oz) and I had cramps all night and still feel sick this morning. (No vomiting this time). The chicken was SO moist and juicy so I know it wasn't a dry thing. On the days I eat something that doesn't agree it ruins the entire day. I can't eat or drink anything without massive cramping so I don't hit my protein OR fluid goals which makes me mad.
I am basically living off of chicken salad, tuna, turkey pepperoni, eggs, cheese and lunch meat and ground meat like taco meat. I barely get in 500 calories a day, I am supposed to be at 800 calories a day now.
I am started to be scared to try anything new just because I don't want to feel like crap and revert back to the few safe foods I have.
AND I AM NOT LOOSING WEIGHT.. AT ALL!
Really the only good thing here is I am rarely hungry so I am fine not eating.
