Woohoo! It’s like a party. 
As some of you know from this thread I have been recovering from stomach surgery. Yesterday they put me on a “full” liquid diet. Full as opposed to clear. It isn’t as bad as it sounds.
Soups, ice cream, yogurt (OK, that IS as bad as it sounds) hot cereal. Etc. In one week I can start eating a “soft diet.” Ground meats with gravy, noodles, flaked fish, etc.
Woohoo. I can’t wait!
Progress is a good thing. Too bad someone else has already taken the user name “King of Soup”, or you could change yours to that!
Hooray! Compared to clear liquids, this is a feast!
GT
I cheated a bit on mine. I took garden variety canned soup, solid bits and all, and ran it throught the blender so it would be considered liquid. It looked disgusting, but Campbell’s chicken noodle and Minestrone were godsends at that point. I loath Jello to this day.
Oh, and would you know if there is a 12 step for a popsicle addiction? My name is VunderBob, and I’m a popsicleaholic…
ME TOO! There aren’t enough exclamation points to emphasis my agreement.
I have the Campbell’s “to go” soup. The creamy chicken has chicken bites so small that I can’t pick around them, so I guess I’m cheating a little too.
I remember when I was in hospital for 10 days for a lithotomy (thank god they cheat on the Hippocratic Oath), and I finally developed the ability to fart again. May not seem like much, till you don’t have it.
One of the top five happiest moments of my life was that first fart, the day after my gastric bypass.
I have a friend who’s a priest and a full-time hospital chaplain who reports having to pray on multiple occasions for bowel movements and farts. Truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Good news on graduating to non-clear liquids, Khadaji – I hope your recovery continues to progress smoothly. As smoothly as your diet!
LOL. Well, after my first operation two years ago, my bowels shut down completely and they would not let me go home until they moved. I was certainly praying for them to do so, so I guess I understand. I’m not sure I would be comfortable asking the chaplan to pray for that though.
