Liquid diet crapblogging
Since last thursday AM, I have eaten nothing except very small amounts of cottage cheese, broth, and sugar free popsicles. I have not been a happy camper.
I have been experimenting with different spices on the cottage cheese to change thinsg around, and I have had some luck. Celery seed, for instance, is nice. So, I think, would be ground dill- whole dill seed, on the other hand, is a definite no. Garlic? Way no. Mustard: not bad. Cinammon: ummmm, no. Ok, maybe. Paprika, maybe.
The upshot of all this is that without putting anything solid in, nothing solid comes out. With a diet of jello and popsicles and cottage cheese, you tend to shit gravy in fluorescent colors. The food colorings go through your system utterly unscathed, so it’s a mixture of FD& C Yellow #6 and bilirubin, which makes for some interesting greens.
Also,. since I have been limiting my experiences to one spice at a tiem, I can safely say I can identify most spices by the smell of the shit they create. What value this will have to me in future is not for me to know.

Perhaps just a tad too much information?
Get well soon.
Tmi is the name of my game, baby.
how ’bout lemon pepper?
Try Natures Season. It’s a mix of spices tastes pretty good on cottage cheese.
I’m just wondering why the sugar free popsicles? I mean you can’t be getting too many calories with a liquid diet. I would think you’d need some extra energy kick.
no sugar, teresa. Have to get the glucose load out of the liver.

careful what you ask for, Dick.
No pictures! Please!
Try a bit of fresh ground pepper and basil. A bit of hot paprika (or cayenne) and oregano isn’t bad, either.
Try some soluble fiber. That should bulk up the turdage a bit, only adding a few calories per teaspoonful.
I wish. I asked, they said no.
Good luck, Og.
I’ll second the motion for no pics.
Hope this is all over as quickly and painlessly as possible, og.
With all this spice research, do I see a new chili recipe posted here in the future?
jimmyb, “as painlessly as possible” is relative. :) My wife had a different form of WLS than Og is. I gained an appreciation for some of what she went thru after having a hernia repair surgery last year.
Not a huge fan of chili. On the other hand, I have a bunch of stuff I’m gonna be working on as soon as I get back to normal food.
Which should be, what, a couple months? I hope you like clear broth and other light “food.”
God, Rick, I hope it’s weeks and not months.
