first 2 weeks post-op

Clear liquids and ensure...anypther thoughts to add variety....first follow up 4/19 

Hey Sean,
We are getting to know each other well. What is your next food stage?  My doc sends us home straight to soft foods. You don't hear much of this.

 odd that you are getting sent home with soft foods...hmmm...

next food stage would be soft foods.  

clear liquids means broth, I like the chicken and rice kind and just take out the food bits, I think it takes better than the canned broth, jello.

My doc says pudding and drinkable yogurt and cream soups is okay, its weird that your doc says ensure which is a milk based drink and that you can't have the yogurt and cream soups??

I would ask about that. I'm with you though, I have the two weeks liquids, than pureed. It will all be worth it in the long run, though.

Sugarfree popcicles are so good, especially since where i live its kida hot

No cream soups? I'm on liquids too, but I had strained tomato soup, chicken noodle, etc. Crystal light, 10 cal Vitamin Water, SF popcicles, sugar free mints and gum are also ok according to my surgeon's office. Best of luck!
