Hello, I'm 5 days post op and my stomach is starting to really want more than clear fluids..... any suggestions you veterans?

are you on strictly clear fluids or full liquids. my doc's rule is if it goes through a straw i can have it. there seems to be a lot of variation from doctor to doctor regarding diet, however.

if you are on full liquids, on day 5, i began to puree Soups and Beans, etc. i put a can of healthy choice chicken enchilada Soup in a food processor until it was the consistency of a milkshake and added a little cheese for added protien. it was very filling.

if you are not to this stage and are on Clear Liquids only, i would call your doctor and ask what they suggest.
