Today is day eleven and I have been telling people it has been two weeks. I feel like I have been sleeved much longer than eleven day, and I am not sure why this is. As a result of this I think I have been adding some foods back a little to early. At my Dr apt he said I could start on soft foods like egg and cheese. I did the egg and it was good and had no issues. Today I went out to lunch with my kids after one of their DR appointments to Panera Bread. I choose the potato soup. I have been doing well with soup at home and even had potato soup at another restraunt with no problems.

 

The soup at Panera just about killed me! I have had very good luck with all food so far but the soup there made me bend over double and my stomach cramped like I have never felt in my life. I called my Dr office and ask Mary the nurse if my stomach was going to bust open or what. She said not and to give it a bit of time then call her back to let her know if it passed. After about 15 min of spasms and cramping , noises coming from upper and lower stomach and a stop to a bathroom just in case it did subside for at least 20 min until I got home and had to run to the bathroom again. Around ten min in the bathroom and both kids wondering if I was going to be able to make it to the pool , it was gone. I Never want to have that again. The nurse said it was probably something in the soup like high fat or oil content. AllI can say is I am leery to try cream soup ever again. I will say it again Never will I ever want to have that happen aging.

 

So my question to any one who read this post is what have you had issues with when it comes to food?

The Panera potato soup worked for me even though I am lactose intolerant. Wonder what happened to you. Their French onion soup worked for me too early on. No croutons or cheese and watered down because it tasted delicious but too salty.

Ground beef, and eggs are still feel "heavy". I am 8 weeks out. I eat them, but I have to go real slow and that is very hard to do for me. Lastly my beloved Starbucks Chai sends me to the bathroom.

Other than that, I've done good. Best wishes!

everyone reacts to everything differently. Your stomach is still healing and it may have just not agreed with you. Always a good idea I think to try new things at home to make sure they're going to work for you :)

Restaurants are going to have high fat soups. Made with butter, butter and then they add more butter. Needless to say, my guess is you are going to naturally stay away from cream soups for awhile. Like longer-life, I enjoyed the french onion with the croutons and cheese pulled off, which also sucks off the grease, which would also cause you issues. I enjoyed the vegetable soups and even a beef barley out at restaurants. I explained that I just had stomach surgery (didn't say VSG) and asked them to puree it, which they did, no problem. For the most part, though, I made my soups at home and ate them. My favs:

Lentil/ham/veggie

Turkey Chili

Chicken Veggie

Again, pureed.
