Food ideas for the full fluid stage!
Looking for any ideas for things to eat during the full fluids stage. My surgery is next Friday and we're going shopping soon to prepare for this stage of my journey. Also, what does everyone think of hemp hearts and is it a worth while source of protein?

I really craved flavour so I used good quality soups (canned and homemade) blended them and put them through a sieve. Anything that went through I could have. I looked for soups with beans or lentils for more protein too. Yogurt with no chunks. SF pudding and jello. Protein shakes and protein smoothies. Greek yogurt - plain not the kind with fruit.
I made condensed soups with milk no****er for more protein and added skim milk powder too.
You will not be able to get it all in in the beginning. Just make sure to stay well hydrated.

I took my diet booklet to the grocery store and got some of just about everything I was allowed to eat. I wanted to be prepared and have different things on hand depending on how I was feeling. I mostly did soup, greek yogurt, applesauce, V8 and some SF pudding.
I got some protein powder and hated it. My husband ran out and got a membership to Costco so we could buy the Premier protein shakes. I highly recommend them!!
