Savoury liquids

[The Chopster]

Morning all,

I am on day 9 of my 14 day pre-op liquid diet and am struggling to know what to have. Sweet things are fine, I'm developing a liking for custard but I don't know what to have for savouries. I am having a dairylee triangle once a day and they really hit the spot but I am really sick of soup. I don't like oxo type drinks. Any suggestions???

Hi Isn't it nuts that each surgeon/provider recommends a different way of doing things!!
I am day 12 today and have been on mushies since day 8, it is better eating wise, but a pain liquidising and washing the blender 3 times a day!

Have you tried the smoothie ice lollies? They were fab when i was hungry in the evening, they are about 99 calories.

Thanks for the advice everyone

I don't know if I should have done it but for tea yesterday I made up some very very sloppy instant mash and had some brown sauce on the side. It looked absolutely disgusting but was gorgeous. It was no thicker than yoghurt so I think it was ok, seemed to go down fine with no pains afterwards. It was just lovely to have something different.
