Liquid diet

Hi everyone, I had my surgery 2/28 and have been doing wonderful! I had a question tho. My dr. recommends to only drink 1oz every 5 mins. On OH it seems that everyone is drinking 4oz in 15 mins just fine. I know its only a 5 min difference but is that 5 mins so important? Also what are you all eating? I know about the soups and yogurt, jello, pudding, juice and protein but can we season things up? like add spices? also im on the liquid diet for 3 wks.

Jeanette - The only spices/seasonings my surgeon said to stay away from are: cayenne pepper and hot sauce! Between you & me... (and how many other folks here?? ) garlic gave me HORRIBLE gas - and still does! Best wishes! Julie

It must be a little different here in Indiana. We are on the liquid diet for 6 wks! I am having trouble with the protein drink...too sweet. I put cinnamon in my cottage cheese and applesauce and that was yummy. I also took fat free refried beans,mixed it with pieces of cheese and heated it up in the microwave and that was really good too! Liz
