So, I'm not having pudding and yogurt yet. Are those considered a liquid? I guess I could, but I'm not sure. I'm unclear about my guidelines. Liquids for 2 weeks, Puree/Mushy foods for 2 weeks. I thought yogurt and pudding was a puree/mushy? I am totally following the rules, so I don't want to do anything wrong! lol... But darn, I'd love a yogurt for dinner! :tongue2:

My doc says full liquids are anything you can suck threw a straw. So if I add some Water or non fat milk to the yogart then that is a full liquid. But not a clear liquid. Also same thing with pudding or anything. I can puree things and add liquid to them and if they are smooth and thin then it is a liquid as far as my doc is concerned. But not a clear liquid. So while Im on clears I cant have yogarts or puddings or anything. Only like broth and things that are clear. But once I move to the full liquid phase of the diet then yogarts are a total green light as long as I add a little water to thin it out.

Oh okay, that makes sense! I am drinking protein shakes, which are just like pudding that's thinner.. maybe I will try a yogurt after a week. Thanks!
