thanks everyone. I've sent a message to my nutritionist, here's hoping!

I was reading a few posts and saw that some people were eating creamy soups on the full liquid diet. Is that allowed? I'm soooooo tired of the protein shakes already! Also, any recommendations on a non-flavored protein powder to add to that soup (assuming it is allowed)?

@wendy4energyrenewal Thanks for the welcome. I'm one week out now and the nausea with protein shakes seems to have lessened (I'm just already tired of them). I did figure out that mixing the shakes with water and ice made it a little more tolerable ... the thickness of the pre-made shakes is not sitting well. Wow, 2 weeks on pure liquid didn't sound like much but after a week, I'm really starting to feel deprived. I'll make it, but I'm already planning some pureed meals!!

Hi all, I'm LeighAnn and just had surgery on 4/24. I did ok in the hospital, came home on 4/25, and felt fine on 4/26, but yesterday and today I'm really struggling with nausea when I try to drink the protein shakes. I'm also struggling with really bad lower back pain. Anyone know what that might be all about?

I had surgery on 4/24 and keep having very bad lower back pain. Concerned that it might be constipation, I did an enema the laxatives weren't helping) and I seemed to get some relief, but the back pain is happening again today. I have only had liquids since 4/23, so I'm honestly not sure if I would even be producing any poop to become constipated. Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks, LA
