      Have you tried a tomato soup? Any time I restrict to only thin-soft liquids I revert to lots of tomato soup, OR the idahoan instant mash potatoes (extra water to make them not as thick) and gatorade.

    Thats wonderful ideas!!! I love tomato soup and for some reason never thought about eating it :)

    as well as i love cream of wheat and those are both wonderful ideas. i guess in the back of my mind i only thought i could have Water, broth, and popcicles and im sorry but im tired of them. Ive been eating back potatos, kinda like mash potatos but i mush them up as much as i can and add a little sour cream and i only eat about half and im full!

    The campbells zesty tomato soup is SO good!!
