I don't "miss" eating food persay... but I am envious a little when sipping my Soup while hubby is eating.... But having said that- I am so happy I did what I did... I agree with Lissa that the warm things seem to "curb' the hunger better and are more satisfying..
i have been having soup, broth, Protein Water and drinks. Tried some sugar free pudding and it was way too much- I also tried a go-gurt and it was good but a bit too sweet-
It is all trial and error at this point- Having been through this with the lap band- I pretty much knew what to expect- my problem is changing my mind set from it may get stuck to it only takes a few tsp to fill up now...

When drinking chicken broth I keep the straw in my mouth mostly the entire time and sip continuously. I can get it down in about 10-15 mins, no problem. Yesterday I had a cream Soup that I diluted quite a bit down to a loose gravy consistency and I did notice that I could not continuously sip, I had to take the straw out of my mouth for about 10 seconds and then continue.
When you all eat the cream Soups do you dilute them? I don't see much of a difference between the cream Soup (diluted) and the broth as far as going down with ease.
Of course with the Protein shake it takes a little longer just because I don't like the taste and I don't like sweets :-/
