My surgery was Monday the 29th and I've been liquid for over a week. I am sooooooooo tired of jello-, yogurt, protein shakes and pudding. Any tips tricks or ways to doctor them up to get me through to Wednesday when I start the purée phase? Also, I welcome any purée recipes!!! I am following my surgeon's rules to the "T" but need some variety something fierce!!!

I know how you feel!! Same day same feelings! I have never been so excited to eat hummus in my life but I'm wondering what do you eat with it? I know we can't eat bread or pita chips.

I too bought humans because its on the list but no clue how to eat it nut just to spoon it...? This should be interesting!

Lol hummas! Not humans, lol! Autocorrect

I had my surgery on the 26th. Had no idea we can eat hummas. Thanks for the heads up on that. It'll be great to put the protein shake down & get something salty. :-)

Hummas is in my purée phase which is day 10 ( you should be right there!) not until Wednesday for me! ( enjoy!)

BROTHS saved my life during liquid phase. Unflavored Protein powder in some chicken broth was such a nice break from all the sweet stuff I was drinking. just don't add too much powder.. unflavored does not mean tasteless... it HAS a taste so go easy with it.

For puree... my favorite meal was curried lentils (lentils cooked in tomoes, garlic, ginger, indian spices) topped with cheese and greek yogurt.... don't knock it till you try it.

Also eggs were on my puree list. scrambled eggs with a bit of refried Beans and Frank's red hot sauce.. yummm

Oh and hummus is yummus all by itself!

Cottage cheese(use 1% or at least try to drain some of the whey off) topped with spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese and a few shreds of mozzarella. microwave.. enjoy

For me meats were not allowed on my puree phase, even if they were pureed so I didn't have any, but if you are allowed pureed meats during this time, people have been raving about puree'd chili
