In hospitals, of course, foaming eggs cannot be steamed. At that time, we used to take the porcelain bowl with the foamed eggs to the common microwave oven and heat it. To this day, I can still vividly remember that no matter how much water you put in it, it is best to keep it in the microwave for between one and a half minutes and two minutes. Of course, the appetite of foamed eggs heated in the microwave is not as good as that of steaming, but in the hospital, it can only be settled.

The diet of patients with esophageal cancer surgery is to eat small meals frequently. Eat less because when part of the esophagus is removed and then connected, it is to pull the upper esophagus down and the lower stomach up. If you eat too much, then too heavy food can easily cause the stomach to fall, stretch the interface and cause the danger of leakage or even rupture, even if it is only a slight phenomenon of esophageal thinning, it will inevitably bring great pain to the patient. Frequent meals are naturally to supplement the necessary nutrients for the patient. It is not easy for patients to recover completely after a major surgery. In the words of the attending physician, it is necessary to have adequate and rich nutritional intake, otherwise it is difficult for the patient to recover quickly. Otherwise, the attending physician on the south side bed would not have prescribed two bottles of nutrient solution a day.

It is precisely because of the frequent meals that two frothing eggs are just a supporting role in the daily diet. When you first start eating by mouth, you should try it with soup or something like that. However, even if it is a light soup, my father, who has not eaten for a long time, also praises "delicious"! Later, the food gradually increased in thickness and plentiful.

Compared with eating by mouth, the sister in charge of logistics has significantly more energy than when eating. Because, now we should not only consider the issue of nutrition, but also pay attention to the taste of food and the reasonable combination of types. To put it simply, if the food made by the father is not willing to eat, then no matter how nutritious it is, it is definitely versatile.

At first, according to the doctor's instructions, my father ate eight to ten meals a day. In the end, you have to eat almost every two to three hours. In the evening, since my father had to rest, the interval between meals was longer. Therefore, if you want to complete the task of eight to ten meals in a day, the frequency of meals during the day is bound to increase, that is, under normal circumstances, my father basically eats once every two hours during the day. With so many meals a day and such a short interval, it is not easy to make my father eat every meal deliciously, and to avoid the phenomenon of annoyance and tiredness.

From the day my father ate by himself, if my brother-in-law, mother, and I were physically tired (we had to rotate on duty), then my sister was mentally tired. Because, my sister has to rack her brain every day to think. Fathers can't eat the food that normal people eat. My father ate a special kind of food that was between soup and rice. It can't be too thin, it's too thin, and the nutrition won't keep up; Not too thick, too thick, the huge resistance when swallowing can strain the esophageal suture; It can't be too hard, it's too hard, and when swallowed, it will inevitably directly damage the fragile esophageal anastomosis. In fact, even if you don't pay attention to it, this kind of demanding food is relatively difficult to cook. What's more, at that time, my sister still had to find ways to keep changing tricks?

I don't remember it very clearly anymore. In my impression, there is porridge, of course, it cannot be a simple rice porridge, and a lot of condiments are often added to it. Sometimes it's vegetables, such as greens, carrots, cucumbers, ....... These vegetables are not simply washed and added. As long as there are vegetables, before steaming, they will be cut, no, it is more accurate to use "chop", chop into minced form. The timing of the pot should also be grasped just right. Early, the color of vegetables will change, such as from green to yellow, of course, this will also lead to the loss of chlorophyll; When it is late, the vegetables will be too hard, so when the father swallows, there may be a certain risk. Sometimes it's meat. If it is pork, then it has to be minced first, and then steamed with rice. Cook until the meat is crumb. If it is fish, it must be cooked first, then the bones are removed, and finally it can be steamed with rice.

There are pasta. There are two main categories of pasta. One is noodles. Of course, some vegetables are added to the noodles as well. When steaming noodles, be sure to cook them thoroughly and cook them rotten. One is ravioli. The time to eat wontons is already relatively late. Because wontons are still relatively difficult to swallow. The cautious attending physician postponed and postponed the recipe. Of course, ravioli are generally not made by us. As I mentioned to you earlier, my father's favorite thing is a small wonton (place name) small ravioli, a special snack in our local area. Whenever my father remembered to eat it, we would go to the small wonton shop that was said to have the best taste. Perhaps, that was the most relaxing moment for my sister.

There are also soups. Of course, the soup here is very different from the soup mentioned above. The soup mentioned above is a soup in the true sense of the word. It is a pure soup made from bones, pigeons, fish, etc., without any other impurities. In this case, the soup is made by steaming the soup and then processing it. For example, put broad beans in it. Cook vigorously until the beans melt in your mouth. Of course, some green vegetables will also be added appropriately to it. For example, put some skins in it (dialect, refers to a kind of oily substance raised from the top of the straw when making tofu, and once solidified, it is like the skin of an animal, so it is called skin. Locals consider it to be the essence of soybeans. Skins have always been one of the most nutritious foods in the eyes of the locals. ）。 The skin is cut very thin and short. After the skin has been boiled for a while, the other ingredients (vegetables, boiled minced meat) are added to the cooking.

Porridge, pasta and soup appear alternately, and various foods take turns to fight, under the premise of moderate thickness and soft and hard adaptation, which can not only ensure the normal supply of nutrition, but also ensure the father's strong appetite. It can be said that during that time, my sister worked hard to achieve a full range of colors, flavors, and flavors, and there were surprises every day. Anyway, in my impression, during the hospitalization, my father never complained or complained about food once.

Until now, I still admire my sister a little. Compared with my strong spirit of guarding that day, the technical content embodied in my sister's cooking process is obviously much higher.
