Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Easily to swallow foods..Any ideas?
The rear end accident I was in a couple weeks ago, its caused problems with my jaw, left side. Ear and jaw pain, ringing in the ears, swelling. Going to a TMJ specialist next week. Cannot chew foods right now, too much to handle. Any ideas on easily to swallow and chew foods? Was thinking of blending some foods, like berries, yogurt, ice, splenda. Then maybe something with vegetables in it? Meat, not right now, its too hard to chew. Unless others have ideas? It would be appreciated.. Tempted to have pudding, but not going to. I could handle the jello. But then also need to keep up at 20-25 carbs a day. Finding it hard to do. You have the opportunity of a lifetime to easily lose some weight.  SignatureMost of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. :) Becky P. > The rear end accident I was in a couple weeks ago, its caused problems > with my jaw, left side.

Heavy cream. Whip, add berries. Peanut butter (protein) Guacamole (avocado) Scrambled eggs (protein) Fish should be easy, it's very soft. Soups? Blend your veggies in a creamy cheesy sauce. Ground turkey or beef scrambled up as you cook it. I used to do "scrambled hamburger", hamburger stirred as you cook it with shredded potatoes added and a gravy made with beef broth. You could do this with cauliflower and thicken it with Not Starch or guar gum or just blend up some of the cauliflower, use chicken broth if using turkey.

There are many soups that start out with whole vegetables that are blended prior to serving that are quite delicious. Seems to me that most any of the recipes floating around that have a cauliflower or broccoli base would lend themselves to this. Possibly one of the flaxseed meal breakfast cereal blends posted on various websites would be doable for you. SignatureJJ. >Possibly one of the flaxseed meal breakfast cereal blends >posted on various websites would be doable for you. I take 1/2 cup of flax meal, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. Splenda (or, you can use a couple chugs of DaVinci's vanilla sugar free syrup). Boil a cup of water, and add it to the flax mixture until you reach the desired thickness. That stuff is VERY absorbent! Then, I pour some heavy cream over it. Simple, and yummy!

Sending you healing thoughts. Be blessed. * > Any ideas on easily to swallow and chew foods? Soups and broths. Chicken broth with veggies (cooked until tender or mashed or pureed into the soup) Ditto for beef broth. Scrambled Eggs might be do-able. << Any ideas on easily to swallow and chew foods? >><BR><BR> Why not try custard? It is made with egg, milk or cream, and you can use sweetner instead of sugar. Also, how about cream soups like broccoli cheese soup. > The rear end accident I was in a couple weeks ago, its caused problems > with my jaw, left side.

I make a ham-spread that you could eat w/o chewing. Use your favorite non-sugar-cured ham, grind it in a food processor, add a few spices (I use Penzey's curry powder) and some mayo. Definitely yogurt - full-fat for low-carb. You could do creamed spinach - very easy to swallow. If you do your "mashed" cauliflower in the food processor, you're good to go there as well. Sugar-free jello, while not nutritive, can be comforting. Finally, what about broth with eggs in it - egg-drop soup? Feel better soon! SignatureNancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the ;) to send mail).

If someone gets tired of yoghurt (sharp, acid) but wants similar nourishment, might try the 'yoghurt cream' layer on top of 'whole milk' plain yoghurts such as Brown Cow and Stonefield Farms. It's less sharp than regular yog, or sour cream, or cream cheese. Wonderful mild flavor!

I'd say this is a good time for the Atkins (or whatever brand you like) shakes. LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 5'7" 265/219/140 & hubby- 6' 310/235/180 Eggnog? Have the blender whipping the eggs and pour in scalded milk (carefully) to cook them. I used instant decaf coffee for flavor so as not to get tired of a sweet flavor.

I also went and searched a low carb recipe site. Found some wonderful soft food recipes. Printed out the ideas you all gave, along with the recipes I found. I have limited myself to meat, eggs, cheese, vegetables, berries, yogurt.. pretty much all along the way so far. So some new things like this will be good. Thank you! |
