I'm on my full liquid phase and ill be one week post op tomorrow. How did y'all get through? I need some tips!

I still have my puréed phase, then soft food phase to go before I get to eat real food

HELP

I found full liquids to be really tough, because it felt like everything I could eat was sweet-jello, pudding, Popsicles, protein shakes... I wanted something savory so bad! Thankfully puréed foods have been much easier to handle and allow for much more variety! Hang in there!!!

I feel just like you it's so hard. I just want to eat real food already

I've been watching food vs man for like two hours . I'm not sure yet if its helping or not

And thank you tealeth922... I hope this phase FLIES by lol

I took some pinto beans added chicken broth blended and strained it. I actually started purée earlier than my doctor ordered but I needed something. Started w a scrambled egg and are it very slowly. The liquids were definitely the hardest phase. I REALLY struggled w it so I can relate. Luckily I had no issues w nausea gas etc but I felt ok moving ahead a couple of days early.

Also I started a recipe book for myself. Believe it or not it helped - of course I have food for a week planned out now!

Goodness! Thanks for your advice! I can't wait to start puréed! I still have a week and a day... Haha may be makin it a week if ya know what I mean lol

ME TOO!!! I'm sitting at Olive Garden right now dipping my spoon into chicken gnocchi and dumping everything good off it. Started with Zappa Toscana but tummy said "too spicy"

I am using Olivers and it helps.

What is that?

Liquid is a tough stage. I'm on puréed and I can have cottage cheese,tuna fish, chicken salad, mashed potatoes. Soups with soft veggies, and scrambled eggs.. It's a lot better than the liquid stage. I have ate too fast and got sick so it's important to remember to eat slow and space it out.

So do you purée all that up before you eat it ? I'm not sure i can stomach blended up meats-- are they bad ?

I made creamy soups, blended, then strained it. Helped a lot with full liquids.

Dennison s spicy chili is good blended. Tastes kind of like a Mexican dip. Yum. Not sure what I will eat it with used to scoop it up with corn chips.

Sounds so yummy! Can't wait till next week

I have heard that baby food is good during purée phase. Organic even better.
