Help getting through the all liquid stages!!

I'm new to the forum, I just had my surgery on 5/10 and everything went well, i'm still in some pain, but i'm getting through it. But anyways, i'm already getting bored of the carnation instant breakfast and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what else I could have. Thanks in advance, Jessica

Unfortunately no nutrition plans are alike. They all have their own recommendations so you should always check with your own personal NUT but what saved me those first 10 days was making tomato soup with milk. It was soothing and I happen to love it. Good Luck! Michelle

I agree, check with nut, but I was saved with Slim Fast s/f. They come in different flavors. I was also allowed s/f jello.

As everyone else said check with your surgeon and nut...but here are some protein drinks that I have enjoyed...good luck and welcome to the losers bench...
