I'm 7 days post op and was wondering if you all had suggestions of foods besides Water, Protein drinks, Jello. Maybe some Soups?

I was allowed to have creamed soups as long as they were low-fat and any sort of chunks were strained out.

Non-cream soups, I could strain everything out and drink the broth.

Did you buy pre-made soups or make your own?

Bone broth. It's a bit pricey (unless you make your own), but it sounds delicious. https://www.barebonesbroth.com/

@@fat2fitDE I bought premade soups, I am too lazy to cook my own -- especially when I was getting over surgery! I was very careful to measure my portions and log everything in MFP. Even lowfat soups can pile on the calories and I needed to stay within a given calorie range.

Egg drop soup! My husband would pick up a container from a restaurant.

If you are on full liquids just make sure to puree, thin, and strain out any solids from soups.

I bought Hot & Sour soup from a Chinese restaurant and strained it

I'm 7 days out as well. I shared with my surgeon today that I have a NutriBullet RX, which basically liquifies everything and she recommended continued use. I've been putting soups in there and basically making it juice. The added benefit of the NutriBullet is that it heats and cooks as well.

Great to know. I just bought the Ninja, which does the same thing.

I stuck with the Protein shakes for four weeks. I was fearful of the purée phase and avoided it.

I'm on day 7 and made a beautiful stew yesterday and was so disappointed that I couldn't eat it. So I talked to my nutritionist and she said if I puréed it then I could eat it. Nothing tasted so delicious (even though it looked like disgusting baby food). I hate Protein shakes..I also don't care for yogurt, Beans, cottage cheese...so I was starting to go a little crazy on Jello and Water. Good luck!

That's how I feel. I just spoke to a NP from my team and she said the same thing. I think I've become milk intolerant because when I drink anything containing milk the acid/gas pains are much worse.

I'm 4 days out and have been using Protein shots to get my protein. In a 3.9oz bottle I get 42g of protein. I'll have to admit though I'm just about over them.

It's sweet, but not bad.
