I was just wondering if anyone has the same problem i do and if so how the went on the liquid stage... my problem is i dont like much in the way of dairy products!

I cant drink a glass of milk or milk drinks at all... except a cup of tea.. the taste makes me wanna throw up, yoghurt... well i can only handle one tub every now and again, cheese... well i love cheese but that doesnt help when i am on the liquid stage. Starting to feel quiet hungry and most ppl say have a shake, well i cant... so what can i do??:help:

If you're talking post-op, I was on a 'full liquid' diet, and I ate fat-free/sugar free pudding, yogurt, sugar free jello, and chicken or beef broth.

Yeah i am 9 days post op... whats the pudding that everyone talks about?

similar to a custard or Angel Delight or Instant Whip. Do you have these brands in Oz?

Aussie, I would find a calcium supplement and eat soup.

Alfredo sauce. A spoon and a jar of the stuff is heaven with a spoon.

I don't like dairy products either.

However, I did like creamed Soups, Matrix mixed with Water vs. milk, chocolate milk, cheese dip, etc.

Do you drink soy milk or rice milk?

I would rather die than drink a glass of milk, yuck, foul, barf. But I can drink a shake if it doesnt taste like milk.

Nonetheless I didnt really drink shakes during liquids. I made stuff like vege and lenti soup and blended it all up. I blended up spaghetti bolognaise with canned tomatoes, roast lamb, potato and vegetables with chicken stock, that kind of thing. Real food. I couldnt live on shakes for 3 weeks, yuck.

I do like yogurt though.

I didnt eat any jelly or anything like that. Its not really very worthwhile nutritionally.

We dont have a lot of those puddings and things that they talk about on here. And to be honest, I'd avoid processed food like that anyway.

Not a fan at all of soy or rice milk... guess most of it is in my head!

I only have about 4 days to go until mushies and please tell me that it will get better? I went to a Juice Bar and they made me up a yummy fruit drink... i just have to keep patient until i get to mushies....it will all pay off in the end:cry

I don't eat dairy. I have no probs but you have to make sure you are getting your calcium. Google calcium rich foods and puree them for your mushies stage. I didn't drink any milks (soy or otherwise) for years but in the last few months, I have taken a liking to oat milk.

By the way, mushies is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than liquids or pre-op.

and most ppl say have a shake, well i cant... so what can i do??:help:

there are Optifast shakes---powder--you mix with Water. doesn't taste like milk==have you tried those? your dr's office can get them. they're very filling--and they have Protein to keep you from being hungry. mix them in blender with ice to get them really mixed up.

i prefer mixing the "pre-made" optifast shakes with ice in blender. tastes very chocolately--not dairy.

good luck!
