No. Not if it goes against the instructions your doctor gave you.

Can anyone help on something I can have besides broth' date=' Jello and popsicles? I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks then on to soft foods but I need substance! Can I throw I cottage cheese or anything?[/quote']

My stage II plan (which started at 2 days PO) included:

Cream of wheat or rice Cereal

NS applesauce (I couldn't eat - too acidic)

SF pudding

SF sorbet

SF Jello

SF custard

Low fat buttermilk

Low fat milk

Cream Soup (no chunks)

broth

Protein shakes

SF popsicles

But, you should check with your doctor. I'm surprised they didn't give you a list. Did they give you a diet journal? The list might be in it.

It sounds like you're on clear liquids--have you tried the clear Isopure Protein Drinks? I bought the pre-made 20 oz bottle and each one has 40 grams of Protein, which is pretty filling for me. I'm experimenting with flavors, but so far they aren't the greatest tasting, but I'm viewing them as fuel for my body. I know it's not substance like something to chew, but it should help you to not feel starving.
