Stage 2 diet

I am starting my full liquid diet and was wondering what are some things you all tried that was successful. Did any of you do grits or cream of wheat during this stage?

My doc said no to grits, but I did try cream of wheat twice. It has little Protein, so I felt it was a waste and didn't eat it again. I had milk a few times, but I mainly stayed with my Protein Shakes and chicken broth.

Thank you... I will keep this in mind.

When I was on my full liquids stage, I never tried Cream of Wheat. I agree with the above message... it doesn't have much Protein. But then at this stage, you just aren't going to get a lot of protein with anything you consume.

The best way to get at least 60 ounces of protein daily at this stage (very important), is to buy yourself some unflavored Protein Powder such as Unjury or Isopure. It is wonderful, because you can mix it into broths, cream Soups and yogurt, which are all items that you should be allowed to consume on your full liquids stage. You can also get your protein through Protein Shakes.

My favorite Soup on full liquids was cream of celery (strain all soups to get chunks out). I would add some unflavored protein powder to my soup... again, you really need that protein.

The chicken Soup from Unjury is awesome tasting and it has 21 grams of protein!
