Liquid phase

[Christina.Rose 287]

Ok....I am BORED of Campbell's cheap little cans of creamy Soup and broth. Besides that is there ANYTHING NOT SWEET that anyone has tried on the full liquid phase post op? Im REALLY sick of all sweets. 4 days until puree but I licked my daughters chicken nugget sauce today. I need a flavor intervention. Thanks!

Do you have a Trader Joe's market? Good creamy Soups in boxes. Also, your regular markets should have some nicer gourmet soups , lobster bisque for instance. I bought Soup bones from my butcher and made my own broth. Protein Shakes count as fluids in those early weeks too.

Ok thanks. I actually love Soup, but dont know where to find decent non-restaurant or non-decadent home made chunky stuff. I will check it out!

I wanted flavor too (& I kinda like spicy stuff) I got the Asian kimchi bowls Soup. Took the noodles out & ate (drank) the broth.

They won't let me count Protein Shakes in with my 96 ounces of fluids but I have to drink them anyway

Mariernest, are you sure about that? Protein Shakes are in a long list of things that are considered fluids. Perhaps you misunderstood?

I too am fed up with sweets. Prior to surgery inat seasonally and organic with one cheat meal a month. I had surgery for PCOS. Had to call my nutritionist because I can't even get my Protein Shake down. 6oz at best.

Got it right here on my post op instructions with the DO NOT Count in capital letters.

[nonnilynn 43]

Oh, poor you! There aren't enough hours in the day to get all that in. I still can't get all the recommended fluids in. With the 1/2 hour before and 45 minutes after rule for meals and liquids, it is impossible. Just know that not all programs have the same recommendations and in the end, we all come out just fine. Do your best or you will get discouraged.

My husband picked up my favorite savory soba noodle Japanese Soup that has a veggie broth. It's amazing. He strained all the noodles out. It's heaven!
