Cheating on liquid diet

[Dropdeadkim 12]

My doctor put me on the liquid diet for 4 weeks after my surgery. I’m on week 3 and these dang Protein Shakes aren’t cutting it. So I cheated and started my purée diet. Has anyone else done this or currently dealing with this. If so what do you eat and do?

Honestly, yes. I was 15 days post op and still doing Premier Protein or broth. I have a physical job nd was feeling sick not getting something solid. I started to add 4 oz of puréed Soups with a tbsp. Of Greek yogurt. I tolerated it well and if anything noticed that I need to slow down when I eat. I stayed full longer and had more energy. Today I’m 18 days post op and I have introduced Cottage cheese and egg.

Hiya

Every surgeon has a different plan. No one is the only way. I was eating solids (chicken, fish) before I left hospital!!

That said, keep an eye on this period is my real advice. Part of the reason for a plan is to force you to change your eating habits. You haven’t gone through all this to get derailed, right??!! So just keep a good food diary, like in MyFitnessPal or similar, and keep an eye out for staying in the new eating groove that leads to long-term success...
