Hi Everyone First Timer on OH

Well I am 4 days into my post op and wow they said it would be tough but this has been quite the ride. The clear liquid diet I feel like there are little to no options in making the first 10 days a bit more bearable Does anyone have any suggestions for recipes? Thanks

Hey There
Welsome to the Cali Board and congrats as you begin your journey.  All I have to say is SUGAR FREE POPSICLES - and SF FF JEllo and Pudding - those were my lifesavers right after surgery - especially the popsicles.,....just follow  your Drs protocol and you will do great.,  hang in there and remember we are all here for support - good luck to you.

Hello Jean and thank you where you able to eat the SF FF Pudding the week after surgery? Thanks.

Hi Mary
Ihonestly don't remember about the pudding right after - but for sure the jello and popsicles...and still eat the SF popsicles all the time.....Also broth was good and I would get different soups and strain them like others have said.....hang in there....

Hi Mary and welcome to the Cali board. I have to echo Jean's suggestions about the sf popsicles and sf ff jello and pudding. I still eat them when I want something "sweet". =)

Welcome!

I use DaVinci sugar free syrups in my water and protein shakes for different flavors.

Whey Protein shake:
1 scoop powder
2 squirts hazelnut DaVinci sugar free syrup
1/4 tsp decaf instant coffee
2 oz soy slender
14 oz water

Shake well and enjoy!
You can add any of 50 flavors of SF syrups.  Torani also has sugar free syrups.

Hey, Jan what is Soy Slender?
I am almost 12 weeks out and I do the SF popsicles still. I love the tropical flavors. Yumm!!
Thanks

Hi Joy,

Soy Slender is a splenda version of flavored soy milk.  I usually use the chocolate or cappuccino.  I didn't care for the vanilla.

1/2 cup =
3.5 g protein
35 calories
1.5 g fat
2 g carbs
1 g sugar

Welcome to the CaliBoards and congratulations on your surgery!

Things will get better for sure...and I use to do a lot of chicken broth I remember. I was not a protien shake drinker for sure! Like Jean said...follow your doctors protocal and you will do fine!

 

Thank you so much for your post I am starting to feel like what have a done???I am not a protein drink person at all!!! I bough some of the Isoplex and the other no carb 40g. drink and they are so gross I had to take them back I do need a way to take my protein. Thank you.
