Hello, everyone!

I am eleven days post-op from a lower jaw advancement. I haven't posted before

but

have gotten a lot of information as a lurker. :) I thought I would join the

party and

offer what I can (kinda like bringing a hostess gift). :)

I've read through a lot of the posts (albeit not all!), and I've seen a lot of

people ask

for good liquid/soft food ideas. Here are my four favorites so far:

1. If you love apple pie as much as I do, go out and get some Mott's Cinnamon

Applesauce. If you're using the Zip-n-Squeeze, dilute it down with a little bit

of

water. The minute I tasted it, I felt like I was eating my mom's pie (the

ultimate

comfort food). I saw somewhere to try it with baby oatmeal, but I haven't done

that

yet.

2. Make some chili (I just do meat, chili beans, tomato soup, water, and

seasoning)

and throw it in the blender with shredded cheese and sour cream. You might need

a

little more water (or tomato juice) to dilute it a bit. This has GREAT flavor

and made

me almost forget I was drinking it.

3. A twist on smoothies: I don't want to get sick of strawberry and chocolate

flavored stuff, so I've been experimenting a bit. This morning I threw ice,

vanilla

yogurt, milk, OJ, orange pop, a banana, and vanilla protein powder in the

blender...ooooooooh, yeeeeaaaah.

4. Make instant mashed potatoes with extra butter. Throw it in the (you

guessed it)

blender with sour cream and milk until it's creamy but thin enough to go throw

the

straw. Mmmmmmm.

One last thing...my sister is a dietician and recommended a product called

" Scandishake. " When you combine it with whole milk, it can give you 600

calories in

one shot! (I've mixed it in with smoothies, and I use 1%. It's good that way,

too.) I

think you can get it at a pharmacy, but if you Google it, you'll find a Web site

to order

it. These were especially helpful the first week when I was hungry ALL THE

TIME!!!

I'll share whatever other knowledge I can. Thanks to everyone who has

unknowingly

helped me through this experience.
