Good post op meals

[Jenuine629 24]

Surgery is in two days and I'm getting ready and prepared. What are some good post op (will be on full liquids for a month) that you all liked or found good?

So far I've stocked up on broth, sf puddings & Jello, cottage cheese, ff yogurt, skim milk, Protein powders, and Soups (non-fattening).

Anything else?

Jenuine629,

Good luck with your surgery. Be careful about buying too much of anything. You'd be surprised how much your tastes can change after surgery. Mine sure did. Your taste may not change but I've heard it expressed many times by different people that their tastes did change.

I hope you have a routine surgery and an easy recovery.

U might want to check to see if cottage cheese can be eaten on ur post op plan. Mine (also full liq for 4 weeks) specifically showed cottage cheese on the soft plan. I could have anything I could suck up a straw (while it's mighty hard to suck yogurt of pudding up a straw, it's virtually impossible to suck cottage cheese up one).

I ate my weight in Tomato Soup and if I never see another can of split pea Soup again, it'll be too soon. I drank 2 Protein shakes a day, split into 8 portions. And 1 can of soup split into 4 servings each. I usually ate a thing of sf Jello and a thing of sf pudding everyday also.

I ate the heck out of Pacific Organic boxed Soups post-op. They were smooth and filling, and they were so flavorful that I could easily conceal my Syntrax Nectar unflavored Protein. They cost about $3/box (3-4 meals each), and they're found usually on the top shelf of a Soup aisle or in the Natural Foods section. Cashew Carrot Ginger was my favorite.
