Week 3 post surgery full liquids

[katie62074 0]

I had my surgery on January 5th, I am two weeks postop and am on a full liquid diet. Needing some ideas on stuff to eat, I’ve been doing two bites of yogurt and egg drop soup/tomato Soup. I’ve been doing my Protein Drinks too but need ideas for a variety of foods. Thank you in advance

Were you given a list of foods to eat & avoid during each stage? It’s always best to follow the plan you’re given by your surgeon.

You could try bone broths & pho & wonton Soups (without the wontons, noodles, vegetables, etc. of course). Actually all soups are good just strain them to ensure there are all liquid - no chunks or fibrous bits. If you’re on full liquid how are you eating yoghurt? It’s usually added during the purée stage but then all plans are different. You can have a yoghurt drink/smoothie just blitz your yoghurt with milk, Protein Powder (plain or flavoured), etc.

Once you’re on the purée stage you can look to thicker but still thin foods like scrambled eggs, instant oats, even meats (incl tinned fish) blended with gravy, stock, milk, mayo, etc. then strained. Lots more options then.

Check to see if these things are allowed on your plan first though.
