I'm day 18. After a week I was sick of sweet Premier Protein drinks too. My Dr said that if something would suck up s straw it's a liquid. (Can't use straws. Just an example). I've been putting Progresso soup in my nutribullet and after heating it up adding Genepro powdered protein. It's 30 grams of protein a tablespoon. Saved my sanity. I also have been blending frozen peaches and bananas in my protein drinks. A little pumpkin pie spice on the vanilla one is yummy. I heat them up sometimes for hot cocoa or vanilla egg noggishness. I'm on liquids for 4 weeks. That newborn baby stomach needs to heal and I don't want to get ahead of what it can handle.

This helps a bunch. 3rd week post op n tried puréed eggs

Didn't agree with me n hot sick after 2 teaspoons

Chew ice. That's how I got through it! Post op I wanted to kick food and taste stuff so bad, but the ice was a win win because I was chewing and I got more water in than I would have!

try some refried Beans made with reduced sodium chicken broth. I am 2 weeks out and starving lol. So I made some refried beans with reduced sodium broth and although I couldn't have but a few spoons of it, it satisfied my hunger and went down well. It also has Fiber and Protein in it but you can add some unflavored Protein powder to it so that you can increase your daily protein intake.

Peanut butter warmed in the microwave.

I must try this warmed peanut butter when that stage comes.

How come I've never thought of this, I freaking love peanut butter!! ????

Wow. My doctor's guidlines are so strict. I have to admit I am 4 weeks post op and I've cheated a little too. I didn't cheat during the liquid phase but I'm on pureed now. Since pureed I have eaten 2 olives, a taste of a corn cake, added tomato sauce to my refried Beans on 2 occasions before my nutritionist said no tomato sauce and . . . I had 1 cosmopolitan at a holiday party which I later regretted. It was good going down but I felt sick to my stomach overnight and woke up with my mouth feeling and tasting like a sewer. I will not do that again. I also accidentally tasted a carbonated Water. It said grapefruit ice and didn't look carbonated but when I sipped I found it was carbonated and with only half a sip it felt like I was having a heart attack. No carbonation for me.

Miso soup has been great for me. I'm excited to have avocado with sour cream next week!
