My surgeon requires clear liquids for one week, followed by another week of full liquids. Week 3 starts puréed foods. Has anyone got any full liquid suggestions. It's my understanding that blended soups don't count. I just had 1/2 cup of Campbell's Tomato Basil soup. After 2 weeks of clear liquids, it was one of the best tasting things I can remember in a very long time.

I started full liquids today. I'm soooooo sick of all things sweet. Problem is I don't like broth or soup. Never have.

Egg drop soup was a delicious lifesaver for me. I cut the recipe below in half for one serving...and of course that's still going to be too much. I'd also add a scoop of unflavored Protein powder.

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Ingredients:

• 4 cups chicken broth or stock
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 -2 green onions, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• Salt to taste
• A few drops of sesame oil (optional)

Preparation:

In a wok or saucepan, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the white pepper and salt, and the sesame oil if using. Cook for about another minute.
Very slowly pour in the eggs in a steady stream. To make shreds, stir the egg rapidly in a clockwise direction for one minute. To make thin streams or ribbons, gently stir the eggs in a clockwise direction until they form.
Garnish with green onion and serve.

Full liquids for me was explained as anything with the consistency of a shake. I blended everything I could find. (just strain out the chunks). I used Healthy Choice chicken noodle soup, tuna, fish, shrimp, chili, smoothies....you name it I blended it.

What's a week anyway. Puree is not much different, only thicker. I did that one for a couple of days then just chewed everything real good.....(chewed up food is sorta puree anyway)
