Recipe's Specific To The Different Phases Post-Op

[kmoore 97]

I am coming down the line and will probably have a surgery date for the beginning of September sometime and am wanting to start preparing my pantry and so forth a little at a time. That being said, I see alot of recipes for mushies/soft and solids, but little in reference to the "liquid stage". From those of you that have already gone through this, can you post some of your favorite liquid stage recipes. This also would help with that pesky 2 week liquid pre-op too

Thanks

I'm not creative, so I didn't have any recipes during that stage. I just did Protein Drinks, crystal light with Beneprotein, Isopure clear, broth, SF Jello & SF popsicles. I didn't mix them or do anything special except for mixing crystal light with Isopure Clear Liquids to decrease the aftertaste.

Those ideas are good...I was told it would be "full liquids", not just clear for the pre-op and then also after the clear stage on the post-op. I have seen where thinned oatmeal is a choice for this...is that true?

I drank a lot of Gatorade, then got myself to drink G2 or Powerade Zero. I am really funny with artificial sweeteners now, I can't stand them, but am having difficulty with plain Water also.

During full liquids, my Dr. approved oatmeal, cream of wheat and mashed potatoes all made to a very thin consistency. I used to put unflavored Protein Powder in them (Unjury).

Don't buy a lot, as everyone will tell you. You will eat so little.

Umm, well, actually they are my wife's recipes. I'm just one of those lucky guys that ended up with a woman that seems to enjoy doing anything she can for me.

I'll ask her to write then down so I can transcribe them onto here

Full liquids: I drank Protein shakes, cream of chicken Soup (strained, thinned with skim milk, a scoop of Protein powder). I also ordered a few bottles of Davinci syrups in sugar free and made my own Protein Shakes (skim milk, Protein Powder, a couple squirts of Syrup, cottage cheese, and liquify that bad boy). My logic is if I can add protein to it, I will.

If you like hot tea, I enjoyed those too.
