Have you tried adding eggs or puréed veggies. That might help.

Happy early birthday!
I had my surgery October 7, the day after was my 35th birthday. I get it.
I'll be having a birthday celebration this weekend with family, cake free, and will probably put some pumpkin pie spice in my yogurt and call it a day.
The surgery is my birthday gift to myself and I don't want to do anything to ruin it.
I am looking at it as a tool to help me change my relationship with food and be healthy.
Whatever you decide, I would suggest stay on your surgeon's recommended plan of what you can eat.
If it'll be too tempting for you, I would ask to not even have a cake present. Maybe have a sugar free Jello or pudding as the dessert. Hopefully everyone in your circle will be supportive.

I was also allowed light yogurt, sugar free pudding and stained creamed Soups on my full liquids stage but I would ask your team to see if it's permitted on your plan.
Good luck and stay strong!

I'm almost three weeks out and started adding Fiber via benefiber after an episode of really bad Constipation during the first week.
I will do my best to not have that experience again!
I put benefiber in everything I make - eggs, whatever I purée, hot liquids and it works well. I don't put it in my shakes because it clumps up and I can't seem to prevent that.
I have about 2-4 teaspoons a day which works out to 3-6 grams of fiber. It's been working well for me.

I use premiere and drink 2x a day. Have you tried getting unflavored Protein powder and mixing it in your liquids?

Me too! Though I mostly watch chopped and Julia child. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for watching tv about food that I can't eat

I'm 17 days post op, taking all my Vitamins, drinking the required amount of Water and then some and getting all of my Protein in.
Some days are great and I feel good and get a couple miles of walking in and tons of chores done but then the next day I'll crash, have no energy and barely able to get out of bed.
Anyone else like this too?

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Check with your team, everyone's post op food plan is so different and varies from surgeon to surgeon.

I've been on the puréed stage since Thursday. I've been eating soft scrambled eggs a lot.
I also puréed a roast that I had made my family (1oz meat, 1oz potato and 1oz carrot). That lasted me three meals worth.
Yesterday I made grilled chicken with trader joes harvest salsa and blended that to a purée. I mashed an avocado with some salt and pepper and put a tablespoon of that with it! I have four meals worth and probably will have lots of avocado leftover.
meat puréed looks gross but it smells and tastes delicious. (I had my mom and boyfriend taste each, and both liked it)
And I was very scared of this stage pre-op (I'm very picky with textures and they used to make me gag) but after the liquids for 13 days, I was very much looking forward to something else!
The Next puréed dishes on my agenda are the refried bean recipe and the ricotta bake on here somewhere as well as I have done butternut squash and apples that I will bake with some spices and purée with either pork or chicken.
