DId your surgeon provide a list of acceptable foods in Phase 2 for you? Each surgeon's practice varies a little bit -- or a lot -- so there is no way I can know what your Phase 2 permits. If your Phase 2 is full liquids, I would guess the answer is no. But contact your surgeon or dietician for guidance. Sometimes they are willing to give permission to advance early, or to eat a few types of foods early, if you are struggling with the phase you are on.

My phase 2 was purees, and we could definitely puree chicken. This was after four weeks of Phase 1 (full liquids) so believe me it was yummy! But I would never take chicken and just puree it with Water or broth or something. I pureed it with a flavorful sauce like BBQ Sauce or marinara sauce, then heat it up with a little cheese on top. Delicious!

But if that is not in the cards for you, check the instructions you were given. Can you have Greek yogurt?

Have you tried savory Protein options such as Unjury chicken Soup protein or HealthSmart protein Soups?

What about making some hot (not too hot, keep it under 140 degrees) chai tea and stirring in some vanilla Protein Powder? Or using the HealthSmart high protein hot chocolate or Cappuccino, since many people tolerate this kind of hotter, thinner drink better early out?

If there are Kroger stores near you, perhaps check out their CarbMaster milks. They are lower calorie, lower carb, and higher protein than regular skim milk. They are lactose free and come in plain, vanilla, and chocolate. You can get a good dose of protein by drinking CarbMaster milk even without adding protein powder to it.

Good luck!
