Mmmmmmulligatawny!

I'm on day 9 of post-op liquids and was getting sick of eating the same thing every day (Protein shakes and thinned out pureed veggie Soups with unflavored Protein powder). On my way home tonight it dawned on as I passed an Indian restaurant that mulligatawny would be a good option - and oh my god, was it ever!

Probably not everyone's taste, but for those who like a little spice and flavor it is heaven! (especially when you're limited to liquids).

Anyone have other good ideas for liquids to keep things interesting?

I will have to look this up. My go-to has be end Qdoba tortilla Soup. I just made sure I blend the hell out of it.

OK here are a few. Get some mashed potatoes with cream cheese (makes it runny) then cook up manwich. Stick in blender and save small amounts. Then eat or reheat when needed. Good and fills you up. Also, nectar protien is awesome with a few frozen peaches blended with crystal light. Yummy and cool drink for summar. you can make popcical out of the left overs.

I added unflavored Protein Powder to lobster bisque, Tomato Soup, potato leek Soup, hot and sour soup base broth, tortilla soup base broth, strained wonton soup, and every cream soup I could find.... Shrimp, mushroom, asparagus, spinach, chicken, etc. just had to dilute and strain the cream Soups since they usually had chunks. I stopped straining them once I was on puréed food. Egg drop soup, and Blended split pea soup and bean soups were big favs in my puréed stage.

Early on post-op, I was drinking any anything and everything that could be put in a blender and thinned out. In the pureed phase I even had some Wendy's chili from the blender, The unflavored Protein is handy to add to stuff like that.
