[Ruby81 19]

I am on day 7 of my post op diet all I have had since my surgery is a few cups of tea Water and low fat squash and a few mouthfuls of Soup so I decided to puree a few new potatoes and some mince with gravy I was literally starving has anyone else done this.

Hi, I'm on day 8. I ventured into pureed baby foods last night. Mixed the pureed chicken with some chicken broth, salt, paprika and a dash of steak sauce and it was actually really, really good! I also tried some Oikos black label chocolate greek yogurt thinned out with a little skim milk and I mixed in some salted caramel Protein Powder. OMG! Amazing! Picked up a few different flavors of Protein powder sample packets from the local Alpha Nutrition store today. Cant wait to try them. Got a pineapple coconut and one that is supposed to taste like the milk leftover from Fruity Pebbles Cereal. Each one has about 25G of protein, 0 Sugar and only 1 carb. So, since they're freebies, guess I'll give them a try!

Slimfast is not a good option- too much sugar - not enough Protein.

Im 8 days post op and I am not on purees yet. I have two weeks of full liquids before I move to puree. Its good to hear that you tolerated the pureed foods already. Makes me hopeful that it will go as well for me...in 13 more days

What are they called?

[Lema 236]

sugar free apple sauce added to diluted Water. I lived on one cup of activia yogurt for days that first week after surgery. I would eat a tiny spoonful and then be exhausted.

I can and I will.

What flavors have you tried? I've looked at them but always afraid to spend the $ and not like the flavor.

I have discovered that if you go to a place where they specialize in nutrition, unlike GNC, they LOVE helping you! I went into my new favorite local place called Alpha Nutrition and they LOADED me up with sample packets of Protein mixes. All kinds of flavors and none of them have that horrible chalky powdery taste. I am currently in the middle of a pineapple/coconut shake that I would drink even if I didn't need the protein! It has 1 carb, 0 sugars and 27 grams of protein. If you tell the people who work there what you need, they will help you specialize a plan that works for YOU. At least the owner here is doing that for me. You don't have to be stuck with yucky shakes and choking down your protein. This IS do-able!
