Savory/salty options during the full liquid diet post-op?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just started the full liquids phase of my post-op diet, which includes days 6-14. I’m doing relatively well with everything in terms of getting my Water and Protein in, but switching to this full liquid phase has been difficult. I was really looking forward to Tomato Soup, but my nutritionist says to mix it with skim milk or soy milk, and the smell of those mixed together makes me want to vomit. I got down some earlier, but I can’t even stand to smell it now. I also tried cream of mushroom and it made me want to vomit as well. I’m so bummed because I was really looking forward to having something other than sweet Protein Shakes to drink. My full liquid diet includes skim milk or soy milk, strained cream Soup with milk added for protein, protein powders, low sodium V8 (tried and it was meh), slimfast with protein, carnation instant Breakfast no sugar added, and Premier Protein. Any suggestions on how to get some savory/salty flavors in during this part of my diet? Maybe I could have a little soup without adding additional protein and continuing to drink protein shakes during this phase to meet my goals? I have my one week post-op on Thursday, so I’ll ask my nutritionist then, but I wanted to get all y’all’s opinion in the meantime. Also, I’m vegetarian, so all the meat options are out!

Thanks for any help!

I made a lot of egg drop Soup during full liquid. I know the egg isn’t “full liquid” but it was close enough for me. Never had any issues.




Thank you!

Tried French onion today. Still makes my stomach pretty upset. At first I thought it was just adding milk to the cream based Soups, but now I’m starting to wonder if it’s because Soup is hot or the high salt content?? Wish I could figure this out!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
