HOPE these help:

Choose nutritious low-fat, low sugar foods rather than empty calorie junk foods.
Eat your protein first, then move to a veggie if you have room and last a carb food
Do not overeat or allow yourself to feel too full.
Chew food thoroughly and put fork down between bites. Eat slowly - meal should last 30 minutes.
Avoid stringy and tough textured foods and meats that are difficult to digest.
Avoid all high-calorie liquids such as non-diet soft drinks, fruit juices and alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and liquor).
Avoid all carbonated beverages; the bubbles can stretch your pouch.
Avoid liquids 30 minutes before and after eating.

aloha, I am still just 1 week out from surgery and on a full liquid diet. I am getting a little bored of chicken and beef stock. I am not a huge fan of pureed cottage cheese. I bought the small curd stuff but I was told to stick it in the blender. I am slap eating some cream of chicken and mushroom strained of all the goodness. My doctor told me today I have at least 1 more week to go. Besides my pprotein shake with just skim milk and powder and all above mentioned stuff what else is there?

I also made protein packed pudding with the instant stuff and jello.

While on the liquid diet should I actually spend the recommended 30 minutes eating, it seems kinda weird sipping on a very small bowl for that long.
