you could get a nutribullet and smoothie everything - because it blends all the fiber it is quite filling, it will also make soup.

Yogurt (full fat Greek), soups and protein shakes are good but they get boring after awhile. Buy a good blender - it will be your best friend for the next month (I recommend something like a Ninja). Anything that you would normally eat will go thru a blender and can be 'eaten' as a smoothie or shake. I know this from experience - several years ago (back when I was a young pup and the dinosaurs still roamed the earth ), I had reconstructive jaw surgery and was on a liquid/soft diet for 3 1/2 months - the only thing that I really missed was the actual process of chewing - I still ate pretty much everything that I had eaten before the surgery.

Any food that doesn't have to be chewed also works - for example, scrambled eggs can be swallowed in small enough bites as can ground meat (as long as you break it into small enough pieces while you cook it).

Low carb protein powder with some added heavy cream or coconut cream. And you could add some more unflavoured protein powder to your puréed veggie soups. I highly recommend a handheld emulsion blender.

Protein shakes with added MCT oil to help increase the fats. Of course the MCT oil is a good add for anything you put in the blender mentioned above since it doesn't change the flavor but gets you the good fats you want.

Do you drink BPC? When I want something more substantial I will put a scoop of protein powder (Trader Joe's has a 0 carb soy protein powder) and a square of Ghirardelli 100% cocoa unsweetened chocolate in my BPC before blending.

Yup yup. MCT oil is liquid at room remperature so it won't clump up in the cold like coconut oil does.

How long do you have to do this? I tried a liquid diet as an experiement, using a DIY ketochow. I intended to go 30 days and only last 6 days. It was rough. *might* try it again at some point after a recipe tweak, but it's not something I'm super eager to do.

Also get the thick straws and a spoon that you can comfortable put into your mouth, so you can eat things like a finely chopped up omelette, scrambled eggs, rice (I know not low carb) cauliflower rice, (there are some great recipes of egg fried rice, no chewing needed)

Cream of "anything" soup.

And:

Sweede mash:
500g sweede
1 carrot
1 potato
0.5ml or more cream
40g or more butter
Salt pepper and a pinch of nutmeg

Boil the veg, drain and mash them all, cream and butter to taste, same with the spices. Tastes amazing, lowish carbs and the cream and butter can be adjusted to suit your needs. We eat this for Christmas and with sausages, dumplings, meats etc. I eat it on its own when I need comfort food. Finely chopped fried bacon makes it taste even better, and adds some protein, I usually ensure all the juices are included, I scrape the pan. The consistency is like potato mash.

You can also make hot chocolate from the dark chocolate.

Muller rice if you do not mind the carbs.

Quark - great soft cheese, high protein, I like the vanilla version, purée some berries or mash them and mix in for an amazing dessert. So tasty.

Purée spaghetti bolognese with corgette noodles instead of the spaghetti.

Or just make the bolognese, make sure the pieces are tiny or purée the lot.

Bone broth from the leftover bones from dinners.

Mix aubergines with cocoa powder, mash it, put it in the freezer for a great low carb creamy ice cream.

Turkey noodle soup, broth, very small pieces of rice noodles, small shredded pieces of turkey, as in small strands. Spices that suits you.

Miso soup if you can handle the taste. (Too fishy for me)

The food processor will be your best friend, anything can be puréed. You can eat it all, just make sure there are no chunks.

Don't purée the full meal in one unless soup, you can do veg and gravy, vegetables separate etc which does not make it taste like baby food.

You can even purée bacon, make scrambled eggs and enjoy bacon and eggs for breakfast. Just be inventive

@Sunny_Bunny_ has shared a link previously that had lots of shake recipes. I can't seem to find it. Perhaps tagging her will get her to add it here

Massive thank you for all your ideas. I have to do this for a month, started on Tuesday in all honestly the pain and painkillers have wiped out my appetite but I can't expect that to last for a month. Up until now I've just had broth. I have to have a plan for when I get hungry.

I guess I'll have to go get a decent blender now as all I have at the moment is a small basic one. I'm worried blitzing normal meals might end up tasting like baby food which just the thought of makes me want to gag.

Do you have any suggestions on brands and where to get the low carb protein powder, mct oil and collagen? I'm in the UK.

Most of MyProtein's whey concentrates and isolates are 1g per serving. The concentrates tend to be a little higher fat, while the isolates are higher protein. With them being a UK based corp, they're probably your best bet. Impossible to beat their prices, even in the states, and their quality is second to none.
