My dr said liquid diet for 14 days ( protein drinks, powerade zero, water) ive tried yogurt & sofy laughing cow cheese. im ready for some eggs, cottage cheese, or Refried beans. What are all u guys allowed to eat and how many days post op are u?

I'm 11 days post-op and the only thing I have tried is sugar free jello. I was told not to eat until day 14 like you... I never wanted scrambled eggs so bad in my life. I'm not really hungry, I just miss chewing something in my mouth. I am way over the shakes. Bring on the softies!!!

I was on a similar path at 11 days post-op. I could have full liquids and stuff like baby food though. Now that I'm rolling into the third week, I'm eating eggs, ground turkey, sliced turkey, chicken, etc...

I've had hello too. I'm so sick of protein shakes! Bring on the softys is right! I tolerated a yogurt & a couple bites of cottage cheese well and it made me feel sooooo much better. I've been light headed dizzy and felt soooo calorie deprived. Just curious if any other 11 dayers are hvn soft food???

I meant jello... What's it like to be eating a lil real food? How much and does it make u feel better cause I'm exhausted????

Hi Ladies, I had my surgery on August 2nd and I AM THE SAME WAY! I am about to throw these protein shakes out the window. Geechee girl, It was funny because when I read your post you sound exactly like me. I am in socal and my surgeon is a little more lax and said if you feel up to it you can start the soft things a little earlier than the 14 day mark, but I am a little apprehensive and I think I may stick to the plan. I have been having a hard time getting all of the protein in because I don't really know how fast I should be sipping. How often are you guys sipping? and what exactly is a sip to you? Pre surgery I was a big gulper so I just want to make sure I am not over sipping. Thanks!!!

I can have yogurt and cottage cheese too... I just don't like it. I see my NUT in 4 days and then I will be eating. I just keep telling myself that the 2-a-day shake crap is almost over. I'm so ready to get my protein from something else, anything else!

I hv a timer on my phone and it goes off every five minutes for me to drink. And I think a sip is about 3 to 5 tablespoons

Scared but I really wanna try Refried bean......... Hmmmmmm

Illuminated, trust me when I tell you that when you take in too much you will feel it. I too WAS a gulper and have had to learn to take it slower. I don't know how to explain a sip, but it's more than I would imagine sipping super hot coffee. Does that make sense? I find that it's easier for me to drink hot things faster (chicken broth.) I have the large Tervis tumblers (24oz) and try to drink 3 of those a day. I do two OhYeah shakes and those seem to take all day to drink. I'm just sick to death of them. I am waiting to eat until I see the Nut. I am so tired of being "fluffy" that I will do whatever they say so I can get this weight off.

If your Dr. says you can go ahead and do beans then try them. I didn't think refried beans was on the list, but I could be wrong. Beans are another thing I am waiting for.

Oh the timer is really smart, I think I will do that. I think I may be taking smaller sips more frequently. I have had to really fight the urge to chug down the protein...

I had my surgery on 7/26. I'm having a protein shake for Breakfast, a Greek yogurt for snack, half a can of soup for lunch, the other half for dinner. Popsicles/jello/or pudding for another snack. I've also tried refried beans cottage cheese. I drink water or crystal light throughout the day. They make an Arnold Palmer packet as well... Yummm. Sugar free Werthers candy too.

On day 14 my papers say I can have a egg, hard boiled or scrambled. Refried beans with cheese, string cheese, cottage cheese and canned chicken and tuna. I'm so over this liquid diet!!

I had surgery on Aug 1st, and I'm drinking more water than anything I'm so bored with the same stuff.

Love this thread. I have 9 days to go until soft food and I'm dying already lol!! Can't even start protein til Monday.
