I'm on my full liquid diet now. 7 days post op. Can I have fat-free sugar-free frozen yogurt

Did you get materials to reference from your NUT? Every program is different it seems, but my guess would be yes, but you'd be better off to freeze some of your Protein Shakes. Would be much better for you.

I was encouraged to have drinkable yogurt starting day 4 to help replace normal flora. Nut didn't care if it was FF, you can't possibly take in enough calories at this point for that to matter. But not all yogurts are the same...read ingredients. Siggy's was the best option I found, with Kefir coming in second. The rest were way too sweet for me and more geared towards making parents "think" they are giving their kids a healthy snack when it's actually loaded with sugar.

As for the frozen Protein drink idea, that's all I ever did. Never once had a store-bought SF Popsicle. And I make Protein "ice cream" all the time with Protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt and Torani syrups. Just finished a batch of banana with chopped peanuts and started a batch of red velvet cake with Carmel Syrup and chopped walnuts. I think I'll do mint chocolate next.

My NUT is allowing cream Soups this week, along with drinkable yogurts and the normal liquid diet stuff. Do yall think potato Soup qualifies?? Or is that too heavy??

You can dilute it with milk or Water. Then just blend and strain it so there are no chunks. I diluted, strained and added unflavored Protein Powder to cream of everything....asparagus, chicken, shrimp, mushroom, celery, potato, spinach, potato leek Soup, butternut squash soup, Tomato Soup, lobster bisque, etc. Did the same with strained wonton, hot and sour, tortilla and French onion Soups. I never got bored with my options in my liquid food stage.
