I had surgery April 18th so I'm 9 days out. What are some good thins to eat besides SF jello, cream soups, SF Pudding and broth. I feel as I'm eating the same things over and over and its getting to the point that I can't stomach the smell of them. I also feel that I am not eating enough I get full with less than 2 oz. Any suggestions of new things I can eat.

You can do sf popsicles, crystal light, some of my elderly pt that can only do liquids I have done frozen crystal light, peas blended into soups, and different juices

This is what is on my plan:

Blenderized / strained soups

sugar free yogurt without fruit

sugar free pudding

thinned oatmeal or cream of wheat

Protein powder or non fat milk powder can be added to soups

day 12

replace full liquids with soft, moist, diced, ground or pureed protein foods as tolerate

Pureed chicken, fish, mashed scrambled eggs, pureed baby food meats

Fat free cottage cheese

apple sauce or pureed baby foods fruits

pureed vegetables or baby vegetables

then it changes on day 28 to as tolerated be very careful on fibrous foods as they can get stuck

I had mine done April 19th and my 1 wk follow up today. NUT said I was ready for creamed soups which I stopped at Bob Evans got their cheesy potatoe out strained. It was yummy....she also suggested cooked veggies put in blender with pat of butter and salt and purée...I am in 7 th heaven now since I can actually get some flavorful tasting foods. However she said that I prob could only eat 1/4 cup but I was able to eat 1/2 cup within bout 35-40 min with no prob.

Protein pudding... the one that I get is from comments on here from other members and it's called Power Pak Pudding. I get it from GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. I buy them by the case and eat 1/2 a one at lunch and then for a snack later or after dinner. They have 30 g of protein a piece.

I still have my cytomax's (sorry I post this everywhere) but I'm thinking get your protein in for sure ok?

Do you know about this website called "the world according to eggface"? She rocks and has great tips and recipes.

Good luck and hang in there! (yep I"m always saying that too lol but I mean it !!!!)

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I will defiantly be trying them!
