Hi everyone. Im 9 days post-op & Day 2 on full liquids. It's tough to get it the required liquids in addition to eating full liquid foods. So far I've had greek yogurt & blended lentil soup. The soup isn't sitting to well. Any ideas/suggestions for Phase 2 foods?

Did your surgeon or surgeon provide a list of recommended foods? I only ask because different surgeons have different phase requirements. "Full liquid" to me means protein shakes, sugar free popsicles, and so on.

I had a lot of pudding, hot cocoa, milk, tomato soup, and sugar free ice cream/fudgsicles/popsicles during that phase.

I found that it was easier for me to get liquids in if they were warm or room temp. I had a hard time with phase 2, and actually had to go back to phase 2 when the pureed stage was not working out for me. So I spent about a month in the liquid phase. No fun....but I definitely found ways to make it work. I still find that warm or room temp works best for me. Good luck with your journey.

Liquids, liquids, liquids!!! Carnation sugar free, Pure Protein, Glucerna, etc......4oz Sipped on the hour (over 30-45 minutes), and 4-8 oz clear, sugar free liquids (includes, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, or fill an ice cube tray with Crystal light - or whatever you choose - with a toothpick in each cube) over the following hour.

My surgery was done 1/5/15, so still a bit sore - especially if I overdo things - and feel more comfortable with liquids at, or close to, room temperature.

Slow and steady, and plenty of rest! I do hope you begin to feel more comfortable. Best of luck!

Yeah different programs have different protocols. Mine was Full liquids>Purees>Soft Foods. I was on each stage for 2 weeks. By 6 weeks it was regular food as tolerated.

@@alwaysvegas He did. Yogurt, blended lentil or pea soup, applesauce, pudding. Not much variety, that's why I was asking if anyone else discovered something better.

I put black Beans in the nutra bullet and pureed them, Then I strained out the skins and thinned it in a pot with some veg broth. I added a spoonful of FAGE 0% greek yogurt and a tiny bit of mashed avocado. I seasoned the soup with a bit of garlic powder and cayenne powder.

Mostly I just played around with what I could puree and thin to a liquid.

@@BLERDgirl! Look at you hooking up the liquid phase! Oh, I'm not mad at you!!! :-) :-) :-)
