Yogurt and pudding..what stage?

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Hi all. Five days post op. Been drinking my Water ice pops Jello. What stage is the yogurt cottage cheese and pudding?

Yogurt n pudding is full liquids, right after you tolerate Protein Shakes - week 2-3, along with blended cream soups......then pureed, then mushy/minced/blended meat.

Go for high Protein yogurt like Siggi or something, pudding -meh- not all that nutritional, fun tasty but not high in protein. The name of the game is protein and liquid, rinse repeat.

Thanks. I’m tolerating my Protein Shakes now. Started day four as instructed. Can I try yogurt or pudding? I also was to try Bisque or creamed Soup.

On my program we aren’t allowed any of the full liquid nor purée foods. You may want to check with your team

Take a small spoon and just try one spoonful and wait - that is how you try each stage anyway....nothing with chunks of ANYTHING at 5 days. Bisque might be too spicey depending on what is in it.... Milk might bother you, it does some people, others not..

This is going to be very specific to your program and your surgeon. My program allowed yogurt/pudding type things as soon as we were drinking Water ok - so in the hospital on day 2. We went home on pureed food on day 3. Sounds like your program might be more conservative so check with them to be sure. Pick a yogurt that is high in Protein and low in sugar. And with pudding go with the sugar free variety - and consider making the instant sugar free and adding in some extra Protein Powder. These types of foods slip right through so be careful with your serving size too.

It depends on your plan, but I'm on full liquids and eating (somewhat diluted) cream Soups and pudding. I haven't tried yogurt just because I don't have any in the fridge!
