Farina/gritz & Sugar free pudding

[Nmelo723 24]

Is it ok to eat these 3 days post op. Read somewhere if you make the grits watery enough your belly can possibly handle it. I'm not having any luck with Protein Shakes. They don't sit well at all. Was hoping I could add my Protein Powder to these 2 things whilst they cook.

Most Protein powders will clump and get icky if the temp of what you are adding them too is in excess of 130 degrees. Do not try grits or farina yet. If you have been cleared by your team for pudding, get the prepared sugar free kind and stir your protein powder in, but that's not going to be much better.

Right now, you should be concentrating on liquids. Sip, sip, sip. Sip Water, sip shakes. Try the clear protein waters - they may sit better. Your diet is designed for very specific reasons to allow your body to heal. Don't mess with that.

Greetings, I am 1 week post-op and ready to start my puree foods. I can tell you I really liked the ready to drink Muscle Milk chocolate Protein Shake, drink it cold and it was really good. Also try Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt-mixed berry and strawberry were the best but stay away from the chocolate! EEEWWWW is all I can say about that awful stuff lol. chicken noodle Soup is very tasty just strain it first, it's a lot better than broth. Hope that helps.

I made sugar-free pudding using a Protein Shake as the milk. Try that, if you're cleared for things like that.
