Refried Beans with lowfat cheese and salsa.....yum!!!!!

Lliana, refried Beans are a mushie not a full liquid (but I agree on the yum part!).

I tried a lot of the Bear Creek Soups when I was on full liquids. You have to puree some of them to get rid of any chunks but they're quite good. Try the Potato cheese.

My DW really liked the Cream soups....Cream of Potato, Cream of Mushroom, Cream of chicken, Cream of Chicken & Mushroom. She also has been partaking of several servings of sugar free pudding.< /p>

I have really been liking yogurt and cottage cheese, also a chocolate carnation instant Breakfast with a 1/2 banana in it. Also a great protien powder mixed with your favorite berry and some milk...I also find that those keep me full longer. I also really like the creamy Soups too. So when did you have your surgery? I had mine last monday.

Hi! I just finished this phase! Here's what I lived on:

Dannon Light and Fit vanilla Yogurt (added vanilla Protein Powder to it.)

Campbell's Soup at Hand: Creamy Tomato, Cream of chicken, and Velvety Potato (I added unflavored Protein powder to these as well-never tasted it!) These are a great portion too-I could only eat half at each meal, so saved the other half for the next meal.

Protein Shakes (I started with Boost, but it's so yuck I went to GNC and bought vanilla flavored Protein Powder and mixed with skim milk.)

Carnation Instant Breakfast (low carb variety)

Propel Fitness Water (kept me from being so hungry, and it's sweet so felt like a treat!)

Jello sugar free instant pudding (only as a once in a while treat-because I have no self control, ha ha!) By the way, I also added the vanilla Protein powder to this.

Good luck-it's a boring phase, but hang in there, let yourself heal. You'll notice that I added protein powder to everything-my dietician says this is sooo important, so get your protein with the powder if you can-you can mix it into anything!

It'll be over soon and on to MUSHIES!!!
