Liquid Foods Help

Hi There, I'm soooooo bored with chicken noodle soup, broth, soups in general. Any suggestions of what you have been eating on your "liquid diet"? I'm craving something that dosen't taste like chicken broth lol! Thanks Tamela

I wish I could tell you something. But theres not a whole lot out there. I have strained off the broth from all kinds of canned soups, etc. Broth is broth. I know how you feel. Will be glad to go to my appt tomorrow and hopefully get some new foods added. Just remember that this is only temporary ( I know, easier said than done,,lol). Hang in there!! We can do this!! Judy

Tamela. I had my lap rny on 8/15/05. Have you tried sugar free jello, sugar free pudding, sugar free icepops. These are considered liquids. If you are not on clear liquids you can have yogurt also. Hope this helps. Jennifer

I made white chili for my family on my 4th or 5th day out, then skimmed the chili juice off and had that....it tasted like something wonderful and different after all the clear liquids.

Carb Freedom by Blue Bunny yogart smoothies are high in protien. They are great! I can't get enough. Looks like everyone's doctor has them on something different, I had my surgery on aug 18 and I can start pureed foods when I feel like I am ready and getting all my liquids in, but that is the problem, I am having trouble getting my 60-80 grams of protein and my 64oz of water/liquids!

Hi Tamela, Doesn't it get old fast ! Not sure what your doc/nutritionist prescribed in a way of a diet post op, but perhaps you can enjoy a protein shake/smoothie? I also enjoy the wonderful, usually instant, Japanese soy bean base soups ... very flavorable and doesn't taste like chicken! Each day will be better, and am sending you good wishes for a speedy recovery. Judy

HAHAHAH Good idea on the japanese type soups... I love MISO soup yeah! As for protiene.. I'm drowning in it lol. trying to get my approx 100g of it a day lol. (actually pretty good, most the samples I got from vitalady are yummy) Hugs to you Tamela

Hi Tamela...I made some homemade tomato soup it was wonderful!! E-mail me if you would like the recipe...I hear ya on the soup thing ..I think I would kill for an egg,lol...I find out today if I get to add them and I am oh so ready Good Luck! Lori

I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to my surgery on the 9th, and I know what you mean about being sick to chicken broth. One that I found that had great flavor was Knorr's tomato basil. I just ran it through a strainer. You have to limit the amounts because of the sugars (10 gms per cup), but I found that even just a little was a welcome change from chicken!
