for the 2 week post op liquid diet, what exactly did you eat? any good suggestions on yogurt soup Popsicles or the protein shake? I'm going shopping tomorrow for my vitamins and and food, just want to have a list ready .... thanks

For the full liquid phase, I discovered V8 made some really good Soups with no lumps. Potato Leek, Garden Tomato, and Butternut Squash were some I ate regularly. Of course, any cream soup or broth with no lumps is fine.

As far as Protein shakes, I tried 3 or 4 store brands and couldn't find any I could stomach. I finally ordered unjury online and love them. I'm almost 9 months post op and still have one for Breakfast every morning.

Best wishes to you.

I made a batch of different veggie soups with beans etc added for protein, spiced to my liking , blended and then froze them. I think I had V8 juice once or twice but didn't really like it. I also ate custard,yogurt,jelly etc

My doc let me do two shakes per day and a healthy choice or lean cusine for dinner. Not bad at all. I started early to get use to it and was able to survive. Good luck

I just made soup yesterday and added cottage cheese to it (then blenderized) for added protein. Yogurt, soup, pudding.........that is about it. I upped my milk consumption, low fat/sugar popsicles, fudgecicles............I do 1 optifast per day just to get some calories and protein in me. Campbells gardenney has some good soups.......some need to be thrown in the blender just to smooth them up a bit (veggie.)
