Can I have these? How creamy do they need to be? Thanks...

I would say as thick as liquids. As thick as yogurt may be more like a mushie.

Mashed potatoes are too thick for liquids. Liquids are liquids, e.g. broths, frozen (popsicles), juices, etc.

My surgeon categorized drinkable yogurt as a thick liquid, which was stage 2, along with things like "cream of..." Soups.

I was not allowed mashed potatoes on the liquid stage. Are you supposed to be on CLEAR or FULL liquids right now? Potatoes were not on either of those stages for me.

I am on full liquids. I am doing yogurt smoothies, yougurt, slimfast, sugar-free pudding....and that's about it. I thought I read about someone doing really liquidy mashed potatoes to help get through this stage. I guess I am getting bored and hungry and need suggestions. Thanks!

I was allowed ( but don"t like anyway) cream soups like cream of chicken, maybe that would help?

Yes, I think I need to go "cream soup" shopping in the morning! :thumbup:

this is something i put together today and it was good. carnation instant Breakfast with added tofu for extra Protein. i think its really good. i also added the tofu to my cream Soup for dinner as well. it takes on the flavor of what you mix it with.

i read somewhere that before the first fill the main goal is to heal, and make sure you are getting enough nurishment, more protein than carbs. thats why its important to follow the phases. according to what i read by doing this it helps to prevent slippage in the future.
