Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Here's what my surgeon approved for me for my cancer surgery in April of 2008. Scary to realize that 27 months ago, I was frantically putting everything together for this: Clear Liquids Beef broth (31 calories per cup) Chicken broth (20 calories per cup) Fruit juices (diluted pear, ¼ cup per day, 50 calories, 11 g carb) Thick liquids Goat yogurt (diluted with water if necessary – same as goat milk, 168 calories per cup) Tomato juice (½ cup per day, 41 calories per cup, sky high in sodium, would ordinarily balance with high-potassium lentils.) Orange juice (up to 1 cup per day, 113 calories per cup) Beef broth (31 calories per cup) Chicken broth (20 calories per cup) Soft foods Goat yogurt (same as goat milk, 168 calories per cup, up to 2 cups per day) Puréed vegetables (carrots, winter squash, butternut squash, peeled zucchini, 25-40 calories per 4 ounces) Puréed pears (1/4 cup per day, 70 calories per serving) Hard boiled eggs (roughly 100 calories per egg, unless mixed with avocado pudding) Ripe bananas (109 calories, must be fully speckled with black, 1 per day maximum – do not have banana if having pear.) Avocado pudding (mashed ripe avocado, fresh lemon juice, salt, white pepper, 283 calories per serving, roughly one very ripe avocado) Cow yogurt (well dripped, approximately 124 calories per half cup. Up to 2 cups per day.) Puréed / finely ground chicken thighs (39 calories per ounce unless mixed with avocado pudding) Puréed / finely ground boiled beef (39 calories per ounce, unless mixed with avocado pudding or homemade mayonnaise and a dollop of homemade mustard?) Given an individual's situation, s/he may wish to modify the fruits and/or vegetables to suit what is tolerated. The above is based on my personal tolerances, and I don't do well on much fruit juice or most fruits. My oncologist said that she didn't need me on a strictly CLEAR liquids after the surgery, so I was allowed to use blueberry, pomegranate, and black cherry juices, all of which I can handle small amounts of. The finely ground meats can also be made " soupy " by adding broth to them if the avocado pudding is too high fat for your issues. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
