I spent yesterday cooking. Two different soup stocks and turkey chili. Its a first time trying all three recipes for me (well, the chili is a favorite, but the turkey is a change). I am trying to be hopeful and make progress in the direction of my surgery. I packed up three 3oz packets of pork that had been used in the stock for the week of torture diet, made six broth popcicles for reheating during liquid phase, and my favorite of all was the boiled to near mush turkey that I pureed and froze for mushie phase. After a dinner of chili tonight, it too will get pureed and frozen for the mushie stage that at this point I only HOPE to reach. I expect to turn the rest of the stock into healthy protein rich soups this week - which of course will largely hit the food processor and become mush unfortunately.
I want this to happen so badly, that I am trying to be enthusiastic for these new foods. But ugh - I can not imagine having to live on this stuff for a couple months. I predict lots of crankiness on my part!
