Newbie….looking for suggestions
Hello everyone,
My name is Theresa and I had surgery for the DS on 11-19-2001. I am
hoping some of you might help me out a bit. A complication in my
surgery is requiring that I eat a soft diet for at least a month and
most DS post ops have no restrictions, so I was thinking you all
could help me with suggestions.
During my surgery, the doctor found that my tissues kept shredding as
he was sewing. This left the duodenal anastimoses rather small for
now. After I am totally healed in a couple of weeks, I will start
eating a normal DS diet and if I run into problems, I will be given
and endoscopy…something I have heard about but am not thrilled with!
Anyway, I have about run out of soft food ideas and am bored as heck.
Since DSers malabsorb most fats, some carbs and no sugars, if you
could give me some suggestions within those parameters, I would be so
greatful. Since I am not taking in enough liquids or protein, my
surgeon said not to worry so much about sugars right now.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Theresa
