[guzmanangie 8]

So today is a seven days after surgery,and I was still on my liquid diet, but wondering if anyone knows when I can start eating something different ,I'm kind of all souped out,?

That is pretty much too what I ate the yogurt, eggs, fat free milk during my second week.

Did you guys have the entire egg or just the egg white

The when question is based on your doctor's instructions. How long are you supposed to stay on liquids? Is the next stage soft or mushy foods and for how long? When are you supposed to go on solids?

If you are ready for mushy foods per your doctor's instructions then Jackie's suggestions work. You can also puree most foods and eat that. So pureed chicken etc will be fine as well.

scrambled egg is what I had and it was the whole egg. Good Protein and mushy enough for me to get down.

This information really helps,cause I'm hungry,but the thought of Soups or any liquids ,makes me not want to eat

I remember liking Cream of Wheat (with added protein) at that stage when the sight of any more Soup was making me gag.

[guzmanangie 8]

Did you make the cream of wheat with Water or milk and did you add any sweetener to it ?
