Would it be easy to find boiled eggs or cook in albergue? Unfortunately boiled eggs are a little tough for me, but maybe a great protein option. Thank you!Boiled eggs?
As much yogurt as I eat, I should have thought about that! I’m getting a little nervous and only learned about the extensive jaw surgery 2 weeks ago. I think that will be another thing I will be coming to terms with on my adventure. Thank you!Yogurt?
a very kind person translated for me “I have had jaw surgery and would like something soft and not chewy.” I’m laminating it on a card for restaurants
I am walking the Portuguese route in October
Yes! Amazingly someone from my hometown of Mobile, Alabama found me when I introduced myself and we started talking about Mobile. She has lived in Lisbon for 10 years and gave me both translations. Truly a small world. She also writes travel blogs along with her husband and sent me some for Porto and Lisbon. Crazy, small world!Do you have it translated into both Portuguese and Spanish?
That would be @Wendy Werneth. I met her and her husband @jungleboy in Lisbon last year. They are both wonderful people.Yes!

Yes!!! Unfortunately she is moving to Rome in the next couple of weeks so I will not get to meet her. Those translations meant the world to me!That would be @Wendy Werneth. I met her and her husband @jungleboy in Lisbon last year. They are both wonderful people.
Thanks jungleboy! I wish I could meet you both! I hope your move goes smoothly!That would be @Wendy Werneth. I met her and her husband @jungleboy in Lisbon last year. They are both wonderful people.
And lentil soup!Chick pea stew (lots of protein, found everywhere).Also potato stew. Both with spices to your taste.
Most recently cooked tortilla de patatas could be eaten without teeth.Hi all. Unfortunately I had jaw surgery last year that did not work. I am unable to chew basically most foods and will be undergoing a much more extensive surgery in January. I’m not worried about places to eat (a very kind person translated for me “I have had jaw surgery and would like something soft and not chewy.” I’m laminating it on a card for restaurants). What a gift that was - the Camino had already given me something without beginning.

My fear is snacks - no nuts, fruit or trail mix for me. I am bringing a small set of utensils for soft cheeses and purchased silicone bottles to put local honey in so I can squeeze in my mouth. Any other suggestions? Are protein shakes available? I’m worried about protein intake and have become anemic already due to the jaw surgery.
I heard about those and will definitely try just for the hydration.Might also be able to find gazpacho in little bottles once you hit Spain. Not the same as fresh, but still pretty good.
If you like milk buy that too - a study shows that it's more hydrating than water.I heard about those and will definitely try just for the hydration.
My jaw issue resulted from being tripped last year which knocked my TMJ disk into my skull. Sorry to be gruesome. I had surgery over a year ago to replace the disk but learned 2 weeks ago I will have a much more extensive surgery that will involve screws, a latch and shaving off 5 mm of my jaw, which hopefully will alleviate the pain. Sorry again if TMI. My issue is that my molars hit too hard to chew at this time because of the structural damage caused by being tripped.@Darby I’m guessing that your issue isn’t whether you’ve got teeth or not but a chewing issue which is a different level of buggeration entirely. Apart from the, useless, advice to avoid Lomo I can’t offer you much. Outside of the tedious Menu Peregrino you will find soups, stews, and “estofados” that will be mashable and ingestible.
Trail snacks? All those sachets of purée that I squirt into the mouths of the more junior or most senior members of my tribe, available anywhere with the lights on, should meet your needs.
As an aside to getting you down the Camino: what advice are you getting on nutrition generally? If you’re anaemic now, before you undertake a challenging hike, what advice are you getting. I, for one, would not be asking a bunch of random Camino obsessives for dietary advice
I was thinking about that. I eat a lot of creamy nut butters and maybe should just bring them from here. I’ll see if I can find out about availability over there.In the States I've seen single serve packets of nut butters. Taking a handful of these will give access to both protein and nutritious calories when you need them.

Mostly you will find hazelnut and chocolate spreads in Spain (yum!) Also look for ColaCao which is a chocolate drink mix to mix with milk. Peanut butter is located with the children's snack items iN bigger grocery stores in Spain. Lots of flan, cheese cakes, and other creamy yummy things. And always wine, coffee, or water to help you manage along the way.I was thinking about that. I eat a lot of creamy nut butters and maybe should just bring them from here.

I haven't looked methodically but haven't seen individual serve packets in Spain.Mostly you will find hazelnut and chocolate spreads in Spain

Milk is a better drink for hydration than water, study finds
Milk was found to be even more hydrating than plain water because it contains the sugar lactose, some protein and some fat.www.cbsnews.com
Even though I live in south Alabama, I prefer European yoghurt as ours is awfully sweet.
