gibson_girl 108 Posted May 4, 2013 I'm allowed Clear Liquids only until the 8th day, so clear liquids wouldn't include Tomato Soup but you could have apple, grape juice watered down, Jello, ect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted May 4, 2013 Hi canned broth is gross! Yuck! Do homemade if you can or Some people go to a local restaurant and by a brothy type Soup to go and ask for mostly broth then strain it, that's good too. 1 gibson_girl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibson_girl 108 Posted May 4, 2013 No sugar added Luigis Italian ice. Ugh so good and better than Popsicles. Oddly enough I've discovered my local hospital has amazing beef broth. Go figure... 3 TopNotchMami, Cheer Mama and No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibson_girl 108 Posted May 4, 2013 My husband ordered pizza, mini pepperoni rolls and cheese sticks. Probably my favorite bad meal. My mouth watered but I wasn't really hungry. Milk and Protein Shakes REALLY helped. I don't know how your surgeon suggests food but I was allowed 4oz of milk on days 8 and 9 then onto Protein shakes. It was the first sense of fullness I've felt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wynk11 120 Posted May 4, 2013 I've been doin Water and Protein Shakes since surgery. Tried skim milk Thursday and my belly rumbled crazy! I Luv Edy's sugar free pops and yes I got Italian ice also. I work in a hospital and yes their broth is tasty! Although I have a delayed "dumping" feeling when I swallow. Then I either burp or hiccup. Is this because my belly is still new?

jacquelynn.mclean 103 Posted May 4, 2013 My doctor has me on what's called a "Modified Full Liquids" which is Protein Shakes and hydrating liquids. I'm allowed Tomato Soup. And it has been AMAZING. It's been a little chilly here and I'm loving the hot, thick Soup in my belly. I sometimes have to be slow about it cause my esophagus will spasm, but it's so worth feeling it go down and the taste. I'm craving grilled cheese, but not to the point where I'm ready to die for it. And it's fat free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DIANA1216 11 Posted May 5, 2013 This is my post op day 5. I am not hungry per say but I think I just want to chew. Any suggestions on how to fulfill this urge with out "eating" ? Going for a walk when grandkids get up and l know will help for a while. Distraction is my goal- but there has to be something else to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacquelynn.mclean 103 Posted May 5, 2013 sugar free popsicles are a great way to "chew" something. And they count as a "hydrating fluid" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
