Hi Kaybee - Good luck with everything coming up. You're really going through so much right now - it doesn't seem fair. I'll be thinking of you and sending you good wishes though!
To add fruits and veggies, one of the safest ways is to blend them up and add to a soluble fiber basis. Try blending fruit (fresh and peeled or frozen) like peaches, cherries, mangoes, bananas, a few blueberries or strawberries, into smoothies with some soy milk. A food processor works really well for this - you want it totally smooth. Have after some of your rice cereal with breakfast.
You can cook a big batch of vegetable soup and puree that till smooth, then serve over some cooked rice or pasta. Or steam/bake root veggies like sweet potatoes, beets, rutabagas, turnips, celery root, etc. They're really nutritious, delicious, and high soluble fiber. You can cook till tender and serve with rice/pasta/flour tortillas etc.
Best,
Heather
