What is everyone drinking on Stage 2 Full Liquid post op

[Zanstt 3]

I’m so sick of all the sweet things. Protein Shakes, Jello, sf pudding...I still have my organic low sodium broths that I add MRS Dash to but I need more flavors, lol. I’ll be on this stage for 5 weeks.

Which cream souos are are you drinking? I’m confused because all of the labels seem to be high in sugar and carbs and low in Protein. I do have protein packs I can add to them, however the carbs and some sugar content worries me

I made myself Soup Stock. Spoke to my dietitian and asked if I cooked everything in a soup then strained it out was that considered liquid and she said yes. I made several batches of different flavors including: Asian Ginger, Ginger, beef, old fashion chicken vegetable, etc... I used carrots, leeks, onions, bell peppers and other veggies; Bay leaves, and other fresh herbs... I then strained them off and drank the remaining stock. At first I tossed the veggies at great mental anguish then started to freeze them. I dropped 2 or more pounds a day... I hate sugar free Jello now... it is out.

I am now on week 6 and got the flu... I pulled out some of the frozen veggies added broth chicken and noodles and had a great soup. So think ahead with what you strain out.

Yummy. Sounds like great idea! Guess I better get to the store before the next snow storm hits😊

I also got really sick of the sweet Protein Shakes and now can only tolerate Premier (and a few other brands) chocolate. I tried broth and hated it then. One thing that helped me was Protein water--still somewhat sweet but not cloying and the thin consistency was better. When I could do full liquids, I even pureed some beef vegetable Soup and loved that. Was thrilled to be able to eat yogurt and especially cottage cheese. Still have cottage cheese nearly every day.
