Full liquid ideas please anyone...

I have been e-mailing my nutritionist a lot on this liquid phase because it's killing me! She said that pureed Soups are allowed. Cream of wheat is on my list, but I don't eat that. I figure if I can get something to that consistency it is okay. She also said that I can have thinned mashed potatoes. Last night I made a pureed Soup that was deliscious. It looked disgusting, but man did it taste great, especially since I have been having only Protein shakes, V-8, and juice. Oh, and spaghetti sauce. My nutritionist said that was okay.

I heated 1 can of cream of celery, 1 can of chicken broth, some ready made mashed potatoes. Then I put one can of canned chicken in my magic bullet and added the heated soup. Then I pureed. It had the consistency of cream of wheat, and it had about 22g of Protein. IT WAS GREAT! I didn't use all of the soup when I added the chicken, so I have some leftover to make another batch with another can of chicken today. I can't wait to move on to the next phase!

Forgot to mention that my sugeon has us on Clear Liquids for two weeks, full liquids for two weeks, mushies for two weeks, then regular foods. I had my first post-op a week after surgery, and he cleared me for full liquids--THANK GOODNESS! I think everyone's doctor has slight variations of this plan.

I am two weeks post-op (today) and am tolerating everything on the full liquid diet very well. I will be glad for a fill because I have no restriction. Any weight I lose between now and then is all me!
