I like dairy. It just doesn&#8217;t like me back. Unrequited love is a terrible thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to avoid anything that contains Stevia. Call it a leaf extract all you like, the aftertaste is terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excluding dairy and Stevia really limits my options in terms of store-bought products. I enjoy cooking though and am hoping to cook most of my liquids and soft foods from scratch. I have an Instant Pot, which is great for cooking vegetables down to mush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my recovery, I can&#8217;t eat or drink anything too hot or too cold, so ice cream and smoothies are out and lukewarm soup is in. yay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also can&#8217;t drink through a straw, but I rarely do that anyways. I&#8217;m mostly scared I&#8217;ll forget this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trying to create a balanced diet that&#8217;s entirely liquid and soft foods is going to be challenging, but coming up with a plan helps me not feel nervous about the upcoming surgery. I have about a month and a half to create some kind of menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I&#8217;ll need at least two days of packable &#8220;food&#8221; to take to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t need a different dish for every meal, but I&#8217;d like to have more variety than what&#8217;s in the photo below. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s my logo. It&#8217;s motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next time, let&#8217;s talk about what I do like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of these recipes will be vegetarian and light on dairy.
