Hi,

I wanted to know if anyone moved on to soft foods sooner then what their nutritionist stated. I have to be on full liquids for two weeks however I've that I'm getting hungry soon then before. I'm worried about this :-/

Hi Bander92210,

I just had surgery last Tue (21st) and am still in the liquid phase. Yesterday was the first day since surgery that I've really felt hungry. Up until then I was content on the 5 protien drinks and my Water. But today I called my dr's office and was given permission to have creamed Soups. I can't tell you what a difference a warm bowl of cream of broccoli Soup made!

If you haven't already started on them maybe you could give your doc a call and see if you can have them. It really made all the difference for me.

Otherwise I'd still call them before moving on to soft foods.

Hi MellieW,

Thanks I've emailed my nutritionist to ask her about this. I'm wasn't going to move on to the soft foods unless my nutritionist tells me. I don't want to mess this up.

I did move on a few days ahead of schedule but ONLY after I got the ok from my doc...If you are feeling very hungry I highly advise talking to your doctor to see if you can move on early...Good Luck!

I have read many many times on here that folks who have long post op liquid diets and got hungry have called their NUT or Surgeon and gotten the OK to advance...

If you can have smooth soups like tomato than try adding Mrs Dash flavorings before heating. Full Liquids is a huge improvements over clear liquids.

I am on soups which help but after that soup has passed on here come the growling sounds I am waiting to hear from nutritionist.

Hi,

I had my surgery 8-17-10 and i did move up a bit early so I would be able to try new things on the week end instead if a work day my weekly change would have been on tuesdays and I went to sundays. I did that on my own. I did fine to. But I went to mexico and it's hard to get f/u calls answered. So nice to get to the soups it helps alot to feel satisfied.
