On Nov 27,2012 and its been harder than I expected. My first week after surgery I had difficulty with clear liquids. Water didn't settle well and neither did crystal light. I drank my broth and protein shakes and had to drink children fruit juice. I found that diluted apple juices and decaf mint tea work for me the best. So fast forward to week 2 my dr put me on soft foods which I was so excited. I yet found soft foods that agree with me. Which isn't too good because I'm afraid to try other stuff. I found that low fat cream of chicken and mash potatoes don't upset my new stomach. I tried ground chicken and it don't work. (Chicken used to be my favorite meat). And to get all my fluids I can drink diet snapple cranberry raspberry. Oh my protein shakes started to get to me too so as a tip. Freeze them they are good as a frozen treat and if you add a sugar free flavor to it, it's like getting ice cream..

If you have any tips for me I welcome all information.

This morning I tried my chocolate shake mix with warm milk, like hot cocoa, and it went down real easy. Mixed it up for me. Good luck!!
