Any Ideas On Full Liquids



Recommended Posts

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.

Any suggestions of new things I can eat.

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 !!!!)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
