Today is day 1 for my full liquid stage in my post op diet.

I only remember that my Doctor said cream of wheat and yogurt and I think he said cream Soup.

What else can I have on full liquid stage.

I tried yogurt today and I just took Greek yogurt and mix it with Protein powder ( Cookies and cream) it was like ice cream but I wasn't able to eat more then 3 tea spoon. later on I remember my favorite lassi and add the Water to it and blend and I was able to finish this drink.

what other choices I can have on full liquid stage of post op diet.

THANK YOU.

I made a can of tomato soup with milk and threw in some basil. It was the BEST tomato soup ever!!! lol

Other than that I am sticking to yogurt and protein drinks. Looking for other suggestions too

I really liked french onion soup with the onions strained out and minus the bread. It really seemed to hit the spot and cure the craving for seasoning that I had. I'm week 3 now and moved on to mushies.

I found online this one;

i'd be eating the heck out of some cream of wheat. i love it. lol they have organic farina cereal by bob's red mill on amazon for like $12/$13 dollars per CASE of it with FREE shipping if you subscribe! (you can cancel your subscription after you get the package!)

also, if you're lactose intolerant.. you don't have to use lactaid stuff.. just try an alternative milk... i like the so delicious brand almond milk.. the plain is good, and has 5g of Protein in it.. the vanilla is awesome, too. there's also cashew milk, soy milk, hemp milk... all of which would have more protein & less carbs than regular milk and no chemical gunk, like lactaid. soy doesn't taste very good, in my opinion, but you may like it. rice milk is higher in carbs, but i like it, too. it's the most "neutral" flavor & has the consistency & color of milk. coconut milk would be another option, but it has a coconut flavor & anything you make with it will taste coconutty.

you can have icecream and pudding pops and stuff like that if you want... but your two lists laid it out pretty good.. what you can have.

i'd be making paletas, fudgecicles and cream pops and eating cream of wheat.. and maybe some pudding or something. but that's just me. lol

keep in mind protein first

I made a can of tomato soup with milk and threw in some basil. It was the BEST tomato soup ever!!! lol

Other than that I am sticking to yogurt and Protein drinks. Looking for other suggestions too

I also made a can of tomato soup but added Water and some grated parmesan cheese then threw it in the blender to puree it. Absolutely fantastic! Other than that and my Protein shakes, I'm still trying to find other things to eat. Going shopping tomorrow.

One of the best 'cream of soups' IMO is/was cream of chicken and mushroom. It's SO flavorful.

Also, this is going to sound gross probably, but it's good... blend 1/2 c of NF cottage cheese and mix with your choice of flavored sugar free torani or davinci syrup. It's less calories than ricotta and greek yogurt (it's 80 cals for 1/2 a c with 11 g of protein). You could add a Protein mix to it and depending on what you add, up the protein a lot.

Best of luck!

So ricotta is in the blended version is ok for full liquid? this is what is stopping me. to prepare the cream soup I need half and half ( base on the instruction) but I think it is too much for me now.

Also I have now idea if I am lactose intolerant I never was before but I read that I could be after.... so I need probably to try the milk first to make sure.

I was told no cream soups during my full liquid stage I'm jealous!
