Liquids?

Any different suggestions besides beef broth, chicken broth, sf jello, sf popsicles? I am on clear liquids until my first check up. No creamy stuff. Just thought I would see if anyone knew of anything different. Judy

I had protein shakes, jello, broth, all those liquidy things... Its hard hard but once you get on regular food it will get better. Dont do anything now to stretch your stoma or make it collicky. It is healing. I know you wont but I did some crazy things early out that I regret. I could also have cottage cheese early out (small curd)... you may ask your doc about that. I only had to stay on liquids for 10 days. How long are you on them?

Judy, Did Peggy or Bebee give you a printout of foods? I think Walker says- "You can have it If you can shine a Flashlight through it!" I so tried to shaine a flashlight through a piece of pizza! You'll move on the soft foods soon. Hang in there, It does get easier each week! Best Wishes- Dx

You can strain chicken noodle soup, veggie soup, veggie beef soup or other broth based soups. It's still broth, but does have a little more flavor.....Also sugar-free koolaids and teas (no caffiene, tho it causes dehydration)....It will pass soon and then you can eat soft, mushy stuff....
