When I was eating soft foods.. it was suggested a spoonful of cottage cheese mixed with a spoonful of applesauce. Soft cooked sweet potato cut into small chunks (store the rest in the refrigerator) and mashed with applesause is good too. It really filled me up and it tasted great to me after my first week on sugarfree jello and broth. V8 juice helped me out too and I still drink it in the morning with my pills.

Sip all the time, try room temperature instead of cold, or warm, it gets easier.

I found lots of shake ideas on a web site called Eggface

Interested in the infection you mentioned. I am having this weird pain that I feel like is muscle ache in my upper back......on the same side of the only incision that is still painful for me. I am going to call the Doctor back on Monday. I called a week ago and they said it was nothing, just healing.

Did they prescribe you anything to take for the infection?
