Day 7 my incisions are healing minimal pain. I'm trying my best to stay hydrated. I do not have a sweet tooth so drinking Protein drinks is difficult since I don't care for the taste not to mention it takes so long to drink. My post op instructions stated Clear liquids or pureed foods first 2 weeks.

I don't know about potato flakes, but you can use an egg yolk to thicken soup. Whisk it in a separate cup, then slowly add in a spoonful of the hot liquid while stirring it all the while. Keep adding hot liquid and stirring until the yolk is the same temp as the soup, then add the whole thing back into the soup and keep stirring. You need to stir to avoid scrambling instead of coddling.

My NUT said don't worry about getting in an entire Protein shake (I'm not even to that stage yet) but that 6 to 8 oz. is fine at first.

I was sleeved on the 9th also. I had unsweetened applesauce with a baby spoonful of peanut butter for breakfast, blended black bean soup for lunch, and homemade potato soup for dinner with bone broth. I did have a protein shake today, too. I think if you cook the cauliflower really good and blend it up you could have it. I get to have a scrambled egg tomorrow.

How are you doing now 6 mo post surgery?
