Beyond Medication Community Group

In this group we will be looking at alternative or supplementary methods of dealing with every day stressors and anxiety. This is for people who do not want to feel as though they do not want to be tied to the medicine cabinet. We will be using such techniques as mindfulness, meditation, grounding, guided imagery, Yoga and other behavioral and self-discipline techniques...

Soft foods

Underweight is my natural tendency. Just had oral surgery and can't eat solids food for a while. I can't afford much weight loss.

Suggestions, anyone?

Aside from the obvious of getting my suggestions BEFORE the surgery. That would have been just too smart.

I've been overweight since prednisone and asthma and RA. So losing weight would be a plus. But for you, very serious I am sure. I think you probably need to eat a lot more - go for healthy fat - virgin coconut oil and butter, which most people don't know is good for you.

Curries with Coconut milk blended might help. Carbs are what put on weight for me, but not sure how that would work to maintain weight while on soft foods.

I would make some shakes. Hope you have a blender. Get Haggen Das Ice cream and add in whatever you like. Whey protein, coconut milk, honey, peanut butter. I can gain weight on ice cream and fried potatoes. Ha

Love the Haagan Dazs Ice cream idea. Now that is something I could eat all day, would the calories allow!

Hard to beat a Hagen Das shake, unless you have access to Ben and Jerry's

I just had a tooth removed yesterday. Small pancakes and ice cream but not popsicles as I tend to suck on those and I know I'm not supposed to do that after tooth removal. Nothing with much salt or vinegar as that will hurt like blazes at least for me.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
