ideas for full liquid stage?

[Tim H. 168]

Okay I'm a week post op and I'm on the full liquid phase for another ten days. Besides Protein Shakes & strained Soups and broths, what did you all eat in this stage? I need some variety

[butterfly_gal 151]

I'm heading to full liquid stage after Wednesday. Besides what you have listed already, my surgeon allows thinned oatmeal or cream of wheat, pudding, pureed cottage cheese, and blended yogurts

The different flavored mashed potatoes (thinned of course) are my life savers!! Plus different flavored milkshakes... I take my vanilla flavored Protein Powder add ice, milk and sugar free coffee syrups (white chocolate, caramel and French vanilla) or pudding powders to make different flavored shakes. Plus I use other flavored shake recipes from my patient handbook to make shakes too!!

Thanks for the ideas. I might try some cream of wheat or thinned mashed potatoes.

my doc allowed grits, refried Beans, and cheese- this is what i have lived on. cheesy grits, and refried beans with plain yogurt and low fat cheddar cheese(sorta like pintos and cheese from taco bell)

Creamed Soups are on my list too. Reduced fat, of course.

I can't wait until I can have some refried Beans with a little salsa and melted cheese. That sounds so very good right now. I think my doc wants me to wait another week before I try those, though...

I found a really good low fat Basil Tomato bisque from Campbell that I would eat some days and it was great.

Refried Beans and salsa is what I've been craving! And I'm only a week out so I've got about 2 more weeks for that... My surgeon basically said anything that will go through a straw( but don't use a straw!) I had yummy egg drop Soup, and cream of wheat and bananas blended with my protien shake... I can't just live of the shakes though....

Unfortunately I daydream about the tortilla chips too. :-/

Oh egg drop Soup is my favorite. I love making my own. Is the egg considered puréed?? Or did you have to put it through the blender??

I don't really think its considered puréed .... The egg pieces aren't too big, I just made sure I chewed the hell outta those pieces before I swallowed, and all was good!

My nut gave us the recipe for a pumpkin shake as I had surgery on Nov 12th . sugar free dart free puddings, Greek yogurt in place of cold Water in sugar free Jello.< /p>

Ditto ditto ditto! I'm 9 days out and I have to wait at least until my follow up on Monday. My doctor has a 4 week liquid program, but he said depending in how each person does he may advance them sooner. I think have a "sleeve of steel" (Not to steal SoS's title lol) so I am hoping I move on Monday! I need to chew something!

But back on topic, I have been making homemade Soups (crab broth, bisques, etc) which add some variety from just normal chicken broth and those little flavor packets from Ramen Noodles are greattttttt with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored protein! And only like 25 cents each, too. Hahhaah. I know it's still broth, but the flavor difference might be enough!

Oh what a relief to see these posts! I am 10days post op and I feel so good. My dr. wants 3 weeks full liquid...but the list of examples I have are so limited ( Water /diet drinks/broth/V8/suger free jello/ s/f popsicle and of course shakes to get at least 45grams of protien a day..there is no Soup , cottage cheese etc listed:( just the clear liquid things!).Well I've never been a big sweet eatter and after 9 days of strawberry/choc/vanilla shakes 2-3 x a day as my main meal I started to panic. But today I had some cream of chicken soup that I thinned with water and added a scoop of protien powder to replace a shake...I felt guilty for eatting the soup since it wasn't on my list) Now I feel so much better and I relieved. I'm going to continue having soup here and there and I'll call my dr/nut and double check this week that it's ok.
