Hey everyone I'm 4 days postop and I can't handle the sweetness of everything I've been drinking.. I've tried Gatorade, snapple, pudding, yogurt and Popsicles but it's all too sweet.. I tried broth but it upsets my tummy.. And suggestions would be appreciated!!

I have the same problem. I had my hubby get me some low sodium cream of tomato Soup. I put a 1/4 cup in a small bowl with 1 TBLS of powdered skim milk in it with just a small bit of Water. Heated it up and it is taking me for ever to eat it. It is a little sweet, but nothing like the shakes. I might also try cream of chicken soup. Prior to surgery I loved Protein shakes. I am eating the soup very slow, like maybe 1/16 of a tsp at time. Got to make my tiny tummy happy.

I had the exact same problem post surgery - my solution was savory liquids: tomato soup, V8, broths, etc. I drank water only for my hydration. Try things in teeny little bits at different temperatures - that may help you handle the sweetness also. Good luck!

I had the same problem and still do... I have never been a sweet eater and this just made it worse...and it was hard the first couple of weeks until i was able to eat mushy food!!!

Wyler's Lite Pink Lemonade with unflavored protein powder was a lifesaver.
