What is everyone “eating”post op liquid phase?

[cheesefiend 5]

I’m dying for real food but have a few days left. First week post op for me is liquid (not just clear liquid) so I’ve been living on:
- Premier Protein chocolate &vanilla shakes...i blend half a shake at a Time with some ice. I also added 1.5 T of PB2 to the chocolate to make a Peanut Butter chocolate shake...pretty good
- outshine no sugar added popsicles. I ate 7 of these yesterday so decided i need to cut down lol. They are really delicious though
- FF non fat Greek yogurt... light n fit has some pretty good non chunky flavors like vanilla, toasted coconut, and strawberry cheesecake
- Quest Cookies n cream Protein Powder w/ Fairlife skim milk (milk has 13g Protein /cup). There is a recipe to make cookie& cream ice cream using the powder, so I must try that soon. This powder only has 1 g sugar per serving and 2 grams net carb (taking out the erythritol which doesn’t raise blood sugars)
- Unjury chicken Soup flavor protein powder- this stuff is a life saver since everything else is sweet!

I haven’t had much trouble getting in my protein and Water after day 2 but am definitely feeling hunger. I hope that goes away when I can start to eat solids!

PS Milk of magnesia is a life saver. I hadn’t had my first BM yet and the nurse told me to try it so I took 30mg and within a few hours I was all cleared out with minimal pain.

The only thing I am having are sugar free popsicles, chicken broth, Water & Protein drinks

I’m 8 days post op and struggling with only having liquids. I hate the Protein Shakes. I can tolerate one choc one and that’s it. I’ve been making Soups from fresh which are nice and I use unflavoured Protein powder if my soups are low in protein.

Cream of chicken is a good one. I also enjoyed a V8 if I was able to get all my Protein in for the day.

I've made some homemade Soups that i have for lunch and dinner along with herbal tea and my Protein Drinks.

I ordered Unjury chicken soup... it’s taking the slow boat... can’t wait to get it... I did have a bunch of Bone Broth I had made in the freezer.... absolute heaven... because I am so tired of sweet stuff!

Any particular brand of chicken broth? And do you add Protein to it?

Ingot the pacific Bone Broth. It had Protein so I didn’t add any to it. It wasn’t much but protein powder doesn’t mix well with a hot liquid so I didn’t attempt.

Unjury makes a chicken Soup flavored protein that’s really good

Good to know I’m headed to the store now to get some broth. I am using the Premier Protein Raspberry that you recommended. And I have my sugar free popsicles! Surgery is Wednesday.

I had my surgery on friday. Have been given two weeks of liquid. Protein Shakes are disgusting and I hate them with all my heart. Is there anything you guys recommend to try instead?

Better Than Bouillon is very good. I think chicken broth is pretty watery and unflavored.

I now add some Decaf coffee in small amount to my Premier Protein - with ice in a glass. It’s really good. With vanilla it tastes like a Cappuccino. With chocolate it’s a mocha. Try it!

DOES anyone actually take gatorade or is that bad?

Regular Gatorade has a lot of sugar but I do drink some Powerade Zero which has several flavors and is pretty good.
