Food Advice
First of all Phil...congratulations on your surgery, you sound like you're doing well. I didn't become lactose intolerant so I made my cream soups with the milk. If you find that you have become lactose intolerant, mix half water and half milk, or all water if you can't handle any milk at all. It's all about trial and error and everyone responds differently.
I rarely used the protien shakes, and I only used the ones that were premixed so I can't give you any advice on that. The EAS and Atkins shakes tasted pretty good...both the chocolate and vanilla.
When I got to the "mushy foods" stage, i tried egg salad on crackers, that was pretty good. I also had mashed potatoes w/a little bit of gravy and macaroni and cheese from KFC. Also and egg omelet with some cheese. I did cook zuchinni in the microwave w/a little bit of butter, salt and pepper until they were mushy...that was good.
I had my surgery over a year ago and it's hard to remember what I ate during each stage. I hope this helps a little bit.
