I copied all 3 of these recipes over from the recipe section w a lot of digging thru the threads. Since many of us are on liquids and can eat the ingredients in these recipes and high protein, I posted them here. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Gen!!

Thank you Gen!!

You're welcome. How are you doing with getting liquids n proteins in?

I mix my shakes and am going to try milk again instead of water. I hope it works so I will clear proteins w/out any worries.

I'm doing great with liquids, proteins, not so much. I just ordered Unjury powder because I cannot handle one more shake. The smell of them is starting to make me nauseous, so I hope the Unjury is everything it's cracked up to be! Lol. I had my diet advanced yesterday to include eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and stage 1 baby meat. So far I've only had the egg and cottage cheese, but those are not high enough in protein. I do love my soups though, so I am hoping to get the powder and put in it my soups for lunch and drinks throughout the day. And yes, they say to try foods again after a little while and I had success with that. At first I couldn't do sf pudding without being in the bathroom in one second flat but now it's ok. So, hopefully the milk works. Maybe if not try the lactaid milk? But I'm not sure of the protein content of that. Are you?

I haven't tried the lactose free milk either. I'm going to try regular again in hopes my body can tolerate it. If it doesn't I'll look into the lactaid.

I love the unflavored unjury in the soups. Soup just needs to be cooler than 140degrees or it ruins the proteins.

Merry Christmas to you too!

I agree! I had to do it for breakfast to!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I am feeling soooo much better. I'm able you drink more, but still not getting everything in. I made stuffing today, which is my favorite! I tried a single bread cube and all went well. I even got on the scale today. 7lbs down since my surgery wednesday. I say that is, not a bad start.

I hope everyone got through their family meals well. It definitely was different then years past.

Thanks for all the suggestions and recipes. So I attended another Christmas party today and it went much better. I thought I was doing well at the last one, thinking I was only eating a little, but I learned my lesson and brought my measuring cup this time, felt full, but not over full and had a great time socializing. It is amazing that my mind can look at something and think yes that is about a 1/4 of a cup and then measure it and it is 1/2 a cup, lol. Stupid brain still doesnt want a small portion, but I was prepared with my measuring cup today and I was satisfied.

MyTimeToLose,

That's a great tip for the holidays and really any outing at the beginning. Did you just bust out the measuring cup? Or was it covert? I could see this being helpful at a restaurant too.
