This is kind of a spin off from @@hdsjourney topic. What did you guys put in your fridge/ groceries did you buy for your post op clear liquid/ full liquid phases?

I want to be prepared but know my appetite/cravings/taste buds might change dramatically.

I've gotten bouillon cubes and sugar free popsicles so far.

Plan on getting clear Protein powder and an assortment of Protein drinks to try when I get back so I know what to stock up on.

For the full liquid phase, which I did for 2 weeks after my sleeve:

Fat free Greek plain yogurt (sweeten with Stevia-it's good)

sugar free Jello

Sugar free chocolate pudding

Organic chicken broth (added my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder to it-yum)

Cream of chicken or cream of celery (my favorite) Soup (again, added the Protein Powder to it)

That was about all I felt like eating. Mostly did the yogurt, Protein shakes and cream of celery soup. Did not feel like having much at all, and my appetite is just now starting to increase at week 5 post op.

I mean to say that the other main thing I had and still have were the Premier chocolate Protein shakes.

Amy's Organic Low Fat Tomato Soup was my best friend

All I had for 2 weeks is protein drinks/shakes and vitamin water zero or water. I used to love yogurt and applesauce but it kept getting stuck in my throat and I just dipped the spoon not scooped. So I haven't touched it since. I eventually went to tomato soup. But that is it. Everything else I brought including the yogurt, applesauce, and jello I threw away or gave it away.

I boiled carrots, potato, a few thin slices of ginger root and half a bay leaf in 16 oz of seasoned chicken stock, until the vegies were tender. Removed the ginger slices and bay leaf, then whizzed the soup in a blender until smooth. OMG, it tasted so good.

I laid in Jello, pudding, yogurt, popsicles, and bought several tubs of Protein powder that I'd taste tested prior to surgery. And got a tub of unflavored protein powder. After surgery, I couldn't stand most of the protein powders and ended up liking the Premier Protein that I'd disliked prior to surgery. Go figure. I also found that the Syntrax nectar (roadside lemonade) that I liked prior I didn't really like post, until I froze it into ice pops. As ice pops, however they were AWESOME the first couple of weeks to supplement both fluids and protein which were so hard to keep up with. (Found ziploc style ice pop bags on Amazon). I also found post-op that I got REALLY sick and tired of sweet stuff. The Unjury protein chicken soup was good, but it was just as easy to make bouillon and mix some unflavored protein powder with warm Water and mix it into the bouillon and it was more flavorful. That got me through to the pureed phase.
