Totally agree on the lukewarm soups—creamy potato was my go-to as well. I also found smoothies pretty helpful, especially banana or avocado-based ones, since they're filling without being harsh. Weirdly enough, herbal teas were hit or miss for me; chamomile was soothing, but peppermint felt too sharp and uncomfortable. Guess it's really about trial and error and listening to your body... everyone's a bit different.

Definitely relate to this—peppermint tea was surprisingly irritating for me too. Warm oatmeal with a bit of honey worked wonders though... gentle on the mouth and kept hunger at bay without discomfort.
Interesting you mention oatmeal—I found that helpful too, especially when cooled down a bit. Did you find temperature made a big difference for you? For me, anything too hot or cold was uncomfortable, so lukewarm foods were my go-to. Also curious if anyone tried smoothies? I blended bananas, yogurt, and a little almond milk—super gentle and filling without irritating the biopsy site. Weirdly enough, I thought citrus fruits would sting, but a tiny bit of frozen mango blended in didn't bother me at all... maybe because it was diluted? Did anyone else notice certain fruits or ingredients being unexpectedly soothing or irritating?
