Hi , so I'm 5 days post op , I'm on the liquid stage, everything I'm eating tastes to sweet ! So I have been eating, yoghurt,protein shakes, chicken soup, I used to have such a sweet tooth before and now I really don't! My surgeon said I can have anything as long as it's smooth liquid , any ideas what i can have? Struggling here!

My favorite thing on the liquid diet was strained soups. We just bought a bunch of Campbell's soup flavors, strained them, and I drank the broth for "meals" to break up the sweet!! I especially liked the cream soup flavors, though you need to be careful to make those with a lactose free milk at first to be extra kind to your healing tummy. I also drank a number of broth flavors from Kettle & Fire. They are expensive but I figured they were worth it for that phase.

What really saved me though was ordering pho broth from the local Vietnamese shop and straining it...and hot and sour soup from the local Chinese shop and straining it. The contrast of flavors was HEAVEN. I did that a lot the first month.

Thankyou! ?

I blended Low sodium can soups and drank my isopure protein water.
