Reply to "Long-term low-residue diet is going to kill me!"

Sorry to hear about your situation, Gin.  Sounds frustrating, indeed.  Can I ask what the surgeon's explanation is for the issues that apparently resulted from the pouch advancement?  Curious, as my surgeon as suggested a PA due to my fistula....

 

I'm not a long-term low residue dieter, but perhaps have a few ideas in addition to Sharon's.   Instead of oatmeal, there are other hot cereals such as cream of wheat, and malt-o-meal (even chocolate malt-o-meal!), etc.  Both with honey drizzled on, pretty good. 

 

And -- avocados.  Smash them and put them on toast, whole as garnishes, or wrap them in a piece of turkey or other deli meat.  IMO, when smashed, they need nothing added outside of a little salt, but a tiny bit of lime juice is nice.  If you have a low-spice salsa that you can handle, that's good mixed in as well.

 

Meats prepared in a crockpot might be a little easier on the "system", again - IMO.  They get broken down to a tender, melty consistency (chicken, turkey, roast beef).

 

Good luck with the diet, and all the other things going on in your life.  Keep us updated?
