I'm 10 days post op and have to wait until Tuesday before i get more of the "mushie" type foods. I'm getting bored with what I've been having so I'm wondering what were some of your favorite things to eat on liquids?

I pretty much lived on jello, yogurt, carnation instant breakfast and broth. The week before surgery I put chicken and vegetables in the crock pot. When it was done, I strained it and threw away the solids. Then I put the broth in small containern the freezer in preparation for my 2 weeks of clear liquids.

Broccoli cheese soup, thinned out with milk, put through a blender, and heated up. A few cooked grits added to it for a little texture (things like grits and cream of wheat are allowed on my liquid diet). Either with or without the grits: yummy!

Mmm that sounds so good! I can have cream of wheat on my liquids stage, does that mean probably grits as well?

I would guess so. My surgeon listed several things that were about that consistency: cream of rice, cream of wheat, grits . . . the paperwork says to thin it out enough so that you could get it through a straw. I've had grits twice now and it was fabulous.

Ice creams or sorbet! I splurged on some gormet stuff and its AMAZING!
