What FOODS can I buy ? liquid stage...HELP NEEDED

[emma-louise]

Hi,

Im still wondering what I can buy in for the liquid stage ? as Im going shopping tommorow and want to get a few things in my cupboard.
I know of oxo,milk,yogurts..and soups..
But can you still add meats/cheese to homemade soup and make it really runny,can your stomach handle it on the liquid stage(as Im worried about not getting protien)

oh and I bought in marvel!

thanks all x

The Covent Garden soups are really nice, and I just whizzed away the lumps
Activia fat free drinking yogs are really handy.
I lived off these for the liquid stage, good luck!

 

[emma-louise]

thanks for that x

Im pre-op so Im not sure but I dont think you need to worry about the protein at the liquid stage. Im sure some one whos had the op will be along soon to help x

Sorry i can't offer any different. Soup, soup and soup is good for the liquid stage........ Don't forget to strain it xx

lol...........I cant believe we have to sieve soup! x

 

[gaelic girl]

Get used to it ladies lol your sieve and blender become your best pals! Be careful Emma-Louise because your taste buds change so much and i ended up throwing a lot of food out that i had bought in( liked it pre op but not post op) Better trying a little at a time till you get your taste buds sorted x

I just bought a cheap little hand blender from Tesco...was only about a fiver so I hope this will be ok.
Good to see you back Allie x

The liquid stage is when protein is most important, as your body needs it to repair itself after surgery.

Hi Emma-Louise, I plan to make stock from chicken, beef etc to ensure I have enough protein as Phatgirl has always said that you need lots of protein to aid healing. I tend to not like cheese added to soups but I think I will do so and blend really well. I might have a go at doing the same with peas and beans.

Like you though I think I will be sick of soup, especially as I'm not much of a soup lover now.
Not long to go. I wish I'd been as organised as you, everything is a rush now.

Dotty I find the cheap jug-type blender is way more efficient...mine was £8 from Sainsburies. It deals with food much faster and makes it smoother than my much more expensive hand blender.

Try adding Tofu to soup, its a very good source of protein,has no flavour of its own, and when blended makes the soup taste creamy.

Oh I ve got one of those blenders too, I forgot about that! Just shows you how often I use it! x
