You'll want to follow your diet. Your stomach is swollen and it will hurt if u advance too quickly.

I am only 5 days out and I have been having tomato soup, tomato bisque, tomato basil soup, beef broth, french onion soup, yesterday I had a soft boiled egg that I chewed to death before swallowing, many protein drinks -- the Lindora type, including the hot chocolates, lots of water, some grape juice, V-8 juice, cranberry juice, and some non-fat yogurt also sucked to liquid. That seemed to help. Keep fluids going in and walk around to get rid of the gas pains. You need to have something every couple of hours. I know, I've been hungry too -- go in a week from Friday for my first check and don't know how I will continue liquids for another whole week! Yikes. Hang in there, as long as you suck and chew to liquid consistency you can have various soups -- just nothing with any real chunks. Hope that helps.

The trick for me was to make sure I had both salty and sweet... that seemed to help my cravings... You can "blend " the cottage cheese with a little shredded cheese to change the flavor.. Also Egg beaters.... cook it like scrambled eggs than mash it up more and add it to your diet.. The Chopani Greek yogurts are good as well... just take out the fruit chunks... Honey and Vanilla are safe flavors... Good Luck!!
