What are somethings you ate?

What are somethings you ate on your liquid diet? I am not going to like living on Jello and tomato soup, and of course my protein and slim fast shakes. I have popsicles as well. I know I am going to want something different!

It is an adjustment, but you wont be too disgusted when you get flavor for first time after surgery..lol

preop,. I did no liquid diets, was not required by my surgeon. So best I can tell you is what I had post op. I sipped water, warm tea- plain decaff, gatorade, life water 0 calorie- had to dilute thought everything was too strong for me, broth from homemade chicken and veg soups- was so good. also broth from ramen noodles, jello- liquidfied, sf popcicles- alot of them..lol, diluted 100% juice, etc shakes came after first week..

I did not do tomato soups and such as it was a thicker base, When I went onto puree, I tried it, but acid in soup did not sit well.

once on puree, I ate whatever came that way that I was allowed..lol.. pudding was my best friend. :)

I went to my favourite Chinese restauraunt and ordered 6 containers of their Won ton soup MINUS the wontons and I heated that up and sipped on it...just no noodles of anykind..by the liquid diet phase..I was able to eat the tiny pieces of green onions

I tried different brands of protein shakes. I also ate soup... minus everything in the soup. There are many varieties there, just strain all the good stuff out.
After surgery I wasn't really hungry, so it didn't really matter much.

I was allowed shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, V8 juice, crystal ligh****er, broth.  Surprising thing, I was satisfied, the shakes kept me pretty full.  The V8 took care of cravings for something less sweet.  The popsicles filled in when I wanted to chew something.  Before I knew it the 3 weeks went past.  Yes, 3 weeks for me due to my high bmi.

After surgery, just worked on getting in as much of the shakes as I could do.

I have been living on tomato soup, SF Jello and SLimFast High Protein shakes. I havent found a "regular" protein shake that agrees with me. I am going to try some sample packs of Syntrax Nectar. I think I am doing pretty well so far!! This is only day 4 so I have 10 more to go!

You will make it through this time.  Just think, smaller liver, easier surgery for you and your team.  Take it one day at a time Jeanine.  Hugs

Word of advise.... WATCH the tomato soup post-op. It is very high in sugar. Not the best post-op soup.
Chicken broth and any other soup broth. I made veggie soup, removed the veggies, then froze them to eat post-op when I could have soft foods, then smooshed em up after reheating them. No waste that wayl.
