I had my surgery last Tuesday 10-09-12 and am on a restricted diet for 6 weeks, low fat creamy soups, applesauce, protein shakes. My favorite thing so far has been sugar free pudding. What are good options that you ate and liked? What were your best soups? Thanks everyone..

Are you adding protein powder to your pudding? I like to add two scoops Nature's Best Isopure unflavored protein powder to the two cups skim milk and then mix the sugar free pudding mix into that. YUM! I think making the pudding is a bit healthier than buying the pudding cups premade.

Defintaly loved s/f pudding...didnt do well with applesauce. Loved sf pudding pops, sf jello, chicken broth...once I moved on to solids stage...my favortie food was and still is turkey meatballs. At almost 2 years out I still have a protein shake just about everyday.

My fav. Pre-op dish was this omlette. I had a shake for Bkfst. snd lunch, this was dinner at least twice a week-so delish:

1 egg plus 2 liquid egg whites (3 egg total)

3 slices turkey bacon

1 cup fresh baby spinach

Nice size 'pinch' of grated cheddar cheese

Pam cooking spray

Heat skillet. Spray w/ Pam. Add turkey bacon. Cook 3-4 minutes, turn. Cook another 1-2 minutes. Cut bacon slices into pieces, return to pan. Add spinach, comer pan. Stir bacon and spinach til spinach is all wilted. Pour in eggs. Scramble or make omlette whatever you wish. Cook 2-3 mins till eggs are almost done cooking. Top with cheese. Cover pan and take off heat. Once cheese is melted...dinner is served! Lots of protein-very satisfying!

I loved Campbells bean and bacon soup blended in my Magic Bullet. I felt like I was really eating!

I blended Wendy's chili. It was so good.

Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup made with skim milk and slowly stirring in some unjury unflavored protein. I got tired of chicken bouillon, so I heated up some chicken noodle soup and strained the noodles and chicken out. So much more flavor than just bouillon.

The blended windys chili sounds good...

Thanks so much for the PB2 link-been meaning to find it snd order some!

Don't forget to check the "Where to Buy" link for the PB2. One of our local grocery stores has this in the health food section. At least you can save some $ by not paying shipping. Amazon.com might have it too. I've also read that some health food stores have the same type of thing, only cheaper, called peanut flour.
