Comfort foods - what gets/got you through tx
by justme53, Nov 29, 2008 04:30PM
I've been drawing up a shopping list for comfort foods before I start tx. I was wondering what things you kept on hand to get you though it.
Here's my current (and ongoing) list as of today:
Ginger ale
Mrs. Grass chicken soup
Campbell’s tomato soup
Saltines (lightly salted)
Grilled cheese
Gelato
Ice cream: (HD’s Dulce de Leche, B/J’s Cherry Garcia, fresh peach)
Homemade chicken soup (finely chopped stuff)
Homemade vegetable soup (broth or pureed)
Ginger snaps
Tea (peppermint, ginger)
Cottage cheese
Plain yogurt/fruit for smoothies/frozen
Lime juice popsicles

Popsicles --- any kind of ice cream on a stick...
PRETZELS... And flipsides --- they are cracker pretzels --- both plain and cheddar.
Soups... any kind I liked.
And spaghetti Os.
Tons of crackers and potato chips...
Anything that was easily grabbable.
May your TX go well.

Want to have things on hand since I live alone and don't particularily relish scraping snow off my car in the middle of a MN blizzard to get them.
Plus, for my helpers, when they ask what they can do, I can be specific. As a carer, it's sometimes hard to know exactly what one's needs are when you haven't walked in their shoes.

Possibly consider the "BRAT" diet which is often used for diarrhea back when the kids were young)
(Lets see if I remember; Banana, Rice, Apples....and I can't remember the "T". : ) )
.....no....it ain't trout......
Willy
(who wishes that one of these years he will learn to spell diarrhea without spell checking it. ; ))
(I remember mom giving it to me, yep)
....now I remember..... thanks.
Willy
I also forgot to post .....I take a swig of flax seed oil in the AM.
Keep in mind that you are encouraged to have some fat intake with your riba. IF you can.... find and use sensible fats.

Willy, I do love cranberries and even better, they're in season.
Thanks for the tips, all !

But seriously, don't take your toast lightly
... it is all in how you toast it...
"If Microsoft made toasters: Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd still have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'-Vista would weigh 15000 pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good bread only works with their toasters.
If Apple made toasters: It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier. "
Nah - they would never work. You would have to unplug them and plug them in again. Then you get a message "access denied" - very helpful.
You could always call and talk to support at $55 per hour. When you finally get the bullets you will probably kill yourself out of frustration.

Sorry guy i didn't know. So your shooting blanks now. :-)
Ice cream was a biggie tho! Since tx I've eaten it about 3 times! Also lived (literally nutrician wise) on smoothies and put all the good things I could in it-yep, cranberries, and even started putting instant breakfast in them. Made with yogurt mostly. Thats something you can usually get down at your sickest.
Good luck, whatever you eat just make sure you DO eat! Days I ate little I'd feel worse.

and pasta! I love sweets and for whatever reason didnt have any during tx its tasted horrible.
Lots of bacon, eggs, and all kinds of beans. ( Black beans, white navy beans, lentil
and butter beans)
Strange how our taste buds change.

Charm and I are so opposite in taste buds! Love beans, peanut butter and jelly sandwich's, Soups, pasta,
I eat what ever I can keep down!
But seriously, don't take your toast lightly
.. with lots of real butter...
. it is all in how you toast it...
jacob that is funny!
