Full Liquid - What To Eat?



Recommended Posts

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'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

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.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
