Woohoo . cleared for full liquids

Ok so I have got the go ahead for full liquids. Never thought I would be so excited about sugar free pudding but it sure feels good to have something with substance go down my throat. And I got out one of my 2 yr olds spoons to eat with and he looks at me and says ...MINE! Hard to tell him it's MINE now! But anyways he got over it within a few seconds . So I have some SF puddin cups and some carnation instant breakfast. Also I have some spiru-tein whey energy powder, anyone have any good tips or recipes for making the most of my meals? I am open to any and all suggestions. I am kinda picky but willing to test my taste buds to have something substantial.

I'm a week away from surgery. But i just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you came though everything fine. Keep up the good work and i'm sure you will be fine. Take care, Ken

LOL! On fighting over the 2 year old for spoons!! You'll have to ask the verterans about recipie advice!! Kelly :)

WTG.....know you are excited about getting to another step.   My 10 day post-op is tomorrow and if all is well...i get to start on soft foods....woohoo!!!     Never thought i'd be excited about cottage cheese, eggs, etc....lmao. Keep up the good work! Pam

I'm laughing at the spoon story, too.   Some of my favorite things when I was on full liquids: pureed bean soup  SF banana cream pudding mixed with a smidge of FF strawberry cream cheese and SF Cool Whip chocolate peanutbutter protein shake pureed three-bean chili (VERY mild!) with soy crumbles Cream of Wheat (thinned with soy milk or Micellar Milk mixed with vanilla protein powder)  I can't believe how much I was craving Cream of Wheat after two weeks of clear liquids!  For a few days there, I could have eaten it every meal.  It was the weirdest thing.

WOOHOOO full liquids!!! you got lucky! I had to do two weeks of clear liquids but I will admit I cheated and ate some sugar free pudding and it was like having a steak LOL I LOVE Carnation sugar free breakfast mix! I have it every single morning and I also dump my carmel flavored GNC protein powder (the only kind I like) in with the Carnation mix and add skim milk and its like having a chocolate carmel *delight* LOL good luck!!

OMG that sounds good. I can't believe I didnt just gain 5 lbs just reading that. I actually think that will be my dinner! or evening snack. I don't have gnc powder tho. Someone at my son's school suggested Spiru-tein. So that is what I have and I think it sounds very good! My first full day of liquids has been good as far as I know. No adverse reactions yet. Altho I dont know what kind of reactions they would cause other than the actual feeling of something solid in my throat!!! LOL
