what did people eat post-op on full fluids.... i am supposed to be on full fluids from day 6 to day 17! Ideas please........ HELP! LOL!:help:

Hi Kimberly, I'm 5 weeks post-op, the post op diet my doctor gave me for 4 weeks and them slowly I went back on regular foods, about 1200 calories a day, after day 2 I began having clear broths, cream soups, fat free sugar free jello, I found the Campbell's Gardene soups very good, carnation instant breakfast and protein drinks as well, after 2 weeks I was allowed to add cottage cheese, yogourt, fruit smoothies(Which I found great). It is very limiting i know especially when you start to feel yourself again. Good Luck

I found soups like the Gardenney ones were good. I would usually add a bit of water to think them down a little.

I still eat the brocolli cheese one a couple times a week.

They are pretty good for you too. The brocolli one has about 70 calories per serving (1/2 cup).

Protien shakes are good too, I always have one for breakfast.
