Phase 1 clear liquids

Thank you for your feed back! I cant wait to even have creamed soup!! Im starting to get a little crazy thats for sure!! The clear protein drinks are disgusting!!

Early out - especially the first week but even through week three - our surgeon's concern was more about making sure we stayed hydrated than getting in a specific amount of protein. By the time I got to week four I was easily able to get 60 grams down with shakes.

Hey Oshi! I had my surgery on the 23rd and have just started soft foods. Your liquid phase is a lot longer than mine but do what the doc says! My big tip is to mix Pho broth(Campbell's makes one) and low or no salt chicken broth. OMG it was a taste sensation when I was on liquids. Congrats on all that poundage gone, gone, gone!!

Thank you for the tip! I will have to check that out! Ive been feeling ok up till yesterday and I started to feel hungry?Oh what I wouldn't give for even a glass of V8 juice!! Haha!!

I remember being on clear liquids and mixed protein powder with hot broth. It cuddled and I was so desperate for something non-liquid that I decided to pretend the curds were noodles.

Within a minute after eating that I had su*****redible pain in my chest that I thought I was dying. I was alone with my cats and they both came and laid next to me. I felt bad for my husband who would be coming home in a few minutes and finding me dead.

After 15 minutes the pain went away. I realize now that I was too swollen for anything but clear liquid at five days out. Maybe you are healed enough for solids and maybe you were spared a lot of pain.

Yikes! That would be so scary! I know there are good reasons for my Dr keeping me on clear liquids. I did the same thing with the broth and it curdled! My dietician said you need to slowly stir it in and it worked but the taste????. A couple of more days and at least I can have blended creamed soups?I know it's all gonna be worth it in the end!!
