Re: Jodi/Marilyn - SCD Friend in hospital can't search archives HELP!!

[Guest guest]

Hey Misty..

I hate the archives here- such a pain in the arse.

Anyway- this is what Marilyn posted to me. Bless her she also helped me make a

menu that was more non fat (couldn't really eat any fats prior to surgery)

I am copy/pasting.

>Marilyn, I have your outline for food somewhere

>(I have been very disorganized) do you think

>this will be enough to give the nutritionist midway hospitalization?

That is what I gave the nutritionist -- but if

you can manage the sanity to rework it to what

YOU tolerate (my list is fairly high is fat,

which you are staying away from) it would be much better.

Repeating the list of foods....

Here is the list of foods I used:

Clear Liquids

Beef broth (31 calories per cup)

Chicken broth (20 calories per cup)

Fruit juices (diluted pear, ¼ cup per day, 50 calories, 11 g carb)

Thick liquids

Goat yogurt (diluted with water if

necessary – same as goat milk, 168 calories per cup)

Tomato juice (½ cup per day, 41

calories per cup, sky high in sodium, would

ordinarily balance with high-potassium lentils.)

Orange juice (up to 1 cup per day, 113 calories per cup)

Beef broth (31 calories per cup)

Chicken broth (20 calories per cup)

Soft foods

Goat yogurt (same as goat milk, 168

calories per cup, up to 2 cups per day)

Puréed vegetables (carrots, winter

squash, butternut squash, peeled zucchini, 25-40 calories per 4 ounces)

Puréed pears (1/4 cup per day, 70 calories per serving)

Hard boiled eggs (roughly 100 calories

per egg, unless mixed with avocado pudding)

Ripe bananas (109 calories, must be

fully speckled with black, 1 per day maximum – do

not have banana if having pear.)

Avocado pudding (mashed ripe avocado,

fresh lemon juice, salt, white pepper, 283

calories per serving, roughly one very ripe avocado)

Cow yogurt (well dripped,

approximately 124 calories per half cup. Up to 2 cups per day.)

Puréed / finely ground chicken thighs

(39 calories per ounce unless mixed with avocado pudding)

Puréed / finely ground boiled

beef (39 calories per ounce, unless mixed with

avocado pudding or homemade mayonnaise and a dollop of homemade mustard?)

Depending on your situation, you may wish to

modify the fruits and/or vegetables to suit what

you tolerate. The above is based on my personal

tolerances, and I don't do well on much fruit

juice or most fruits. My oncologist said that she

didn't need me on a strictly CLEAR liquids after

the surgery, so I can use blueberry, pomegranate,

and black cherry juices, all of which I can

handle small amounts of. The finely ground meats

can also be made " soupy " by adding broth to them

if the avocado pudding is too high fat for your

issues. For my " regular foods " once I was home, I

used apple-pecan muffins for breakfast, plain

(lightly seasoned) meats and cooked vegetables

for lunch and dinner. I did not add back raw

vegetables until after I had gone off the

narcotic pain relievers -- and when I mentioned

this to my surgeon, she though it was an

excellent idea because the narcotics can

contribute to constipation, and so, she said, could the bulky raw vegetables.
