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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
