Being on liquids only,, All I ate was chx/beef brooth and protein drinks,juices and milk,, when you can go to the next stage, I ate cream of wheat and mashed potato's , and soups through a strainer, yogurt, and popsicles,, Good luck

On CLEAR liquids, jello, beef/chicken broth with protein powder mixed in, crystal lite, water. I got so tired of jello, that I couldn't eat it anymore. I started on full liquids a bit early, but it helped.

hey....i'm glad to see surgery went well for you. i was on full liquids for six weeks. i had plenty of sf popsicles and sf fudgesicles. i drank a lot of juice. ate some sf jello, but not much. did cheat after several weeks and ate some saltine crackers, i was craving something salty. i would get chicken noodle soup and drain it and drink the juice. to me that was better than the broth. and of course....protein shakes!!!! i know how you feel about not feeling hungry. girl, i was the exact same way. i had to force myself. to me that is when the popsicles came in handy. oh and shaved ice, like snow cone ice was great too. they sell sf syrup that you can put on it too or just a bit of juice to give it flavor. Good Luck!!!
