Liquid Stage: What do you eat?

[Texasmom65 23]

Ok I have a little more than 2 more weeks left on full liquids. Per my doc it has to go through a strainer. I need help. I'm tired of just Protein shakes, broth and cream of "whatever" Soup watered down.

What did you eat? I would love any ideas.

Thanks,

I get to have pureed meat in this stage - so I just had some tuna mixed with low fat miracle whip. Just puree it up and it's pretty tasty.

I wish I could have pureed foods....that sounds yummy :-(

I know how you feel - I'm in the same boat! Can you have pudding or yogurt at all? Maybe if it's thinned a little? Or what about cinnamon cream of wheat thinned with milk? My doc said I'm on semi-liquid, so I can also have like really thin mashed potatoes, although I've been avoiding that because of the starch/carbs. Hmm...different kinds of juices? I hear you - I'm getting so tired of the liquids, and it's only been about a week!

Yeah, my food plan is pretty generous. If you can have pudding - I really recommend the Kozy Shack brand that has no sugar added. I have the tapioca pudding - 70 cals for 4 ounces, 11 g Carbs (5 g sugar, 4 g fiber), and 4g Protein. It is on the high end of the sugar limit for my plan, but it is so tasty! It goes down SOOOOO easy for me. It could be thinned if needed.

I had pudding, yogurt, Tomato Soup with melted cheese in it, and lots of Protein Shakes. I mixed Peanut Butter in them sometimes. I liked potato Soup a lot. Memories!

I still have another week of full liquids, too. My instructions allow for other lower carb type Soups, not just Cream Of Whatever. I just have to blend them so there are no chunks and thin them a little. It's hard to find canned Soups that don't have Pasta or rice. The best one I've found so far has been Progresso chicken Enchilada Soup. I've also tried throwing some extra stuff in the blender with the Cream Of Whatever to spice it up and add a little Protein. Stuff like chopped chicken, canned salmon, & fresh herbs.

No pudding, no yogurt, no jello......if it doesn't flow through a strainer...no no no. Strick huh? I can have juices, and that has been a change. Just thought maybe I was missing something....thanks ladies for all your ideas.

I had a 3 week liquids only diet, too. It is tough so I know how you feel. I added sugar free Popsicles in cherry, grape, orange. And the no sugar added fudgsicles were a favorite! Hang in there, just take it day by day and in no time you'll be doing the mushies!

I did have the cream of chicken Soup from MyBariatricPantry today....wow, it was good. Tasted like Thanksgiving dinner. If I had drink cranberry juice with it, it would have been complete. LOL Went to order more from them and out of stock. Dang....and it has 15 gms of Protein too.

Think I'm going to try adding pumpkin to one my vanilla shakes for something different.

Throw chicken broth in a blender. Add roasted or cooked veggies, extra chicken if you like for more Protein, milk, and spices. For example, chicken, milk, broth, roasted red peppers, Indian type spices = Indian soup!! Or. Broth, chicken, milk, peppers, corn, taco seasoning = Mexican soup!! Or. Broth, chicken, roasted carrots and celery, a few dried/fresh herbs = really yummy chicken Soup. I'd sometimes add some chili to the mix too. I loved liquid stage! For extra protein you could add chicken Unjury to it too!! Good luck

Forgot to add to strain if your blender doesn't pulverize it. Just remember to cook your veggies before you add them too!!

Just an idea, but mashed sweet potatoes and mashed acorn squash would be equally satisfying and less carbs.
