im six weeks post op and i consume about 600-800 a day. i have to remind myself to eat from time to time because i dont feel hungry.

thanks everyone for the advice!

as anyone had success with broccoli on the soft food stage? also breakfast cereal?

i wish i had the runs. i am a month post op as of this monday and i havent gone to the bathroom in days. then again, i just started the pureed stage and i am not eating any foods.

oh it was just going to be social. i wasn't going to buy a gallon and keep it. i never really bought ice cream and kept it prior to my sleeve but i would get it from time to time. i was just going to get some with a friend and get a very small serving of the sugar free flavor they had. on another note, i cant find sugar free yogurt anywhere where im at.

does anyone know if sugar free ice cream is acceptable in the full liquid stage?

im learning to do that.

i was sleeved on the 18th of june and have been on a liquid diet since. right now i am on the full liquid diet. i usually do a carnation instant Breakfast in the morning (either sugar free or with sugar), then Water throughout the day. ill have a yogurt or pudding both throughout the day and end my day with an Optifast Soup. i find myself drinking a lot of liquids in one setting sometimes. ill get a full feelong but then a few mins later im hungry or feel empty. anyone else experiencing that?

i didnt have many complications during or after surgery. my only complaint was minor pain around the surgery site. good pain management while in the hospital helped a lot too. another thing that helps is your pre-op preperation. make sure you follow the diet to the T and loose as much weight as you can. everyone is different when it comes to a major surgery like this. a lot of the complications are temporary as your body has gone through a lot of trama and needs to heal. you should be fine a few days after the surgery.

im two weeks post op and lost 23 so far.

i am having the same issue. today i had a couple bites of broccoli cheese soup (just the broth) and iced tea. i was full for a good hour and a half and then hungry again. i thought maybe it was just the stomach digesting very little food quickly and then empty again.

congrats patrick! as they say, lots of walking; lots of sipping!

im 2 weeks post op and a couple of days into the full liquid diet. i crave everything! lol kicker is, ill eat, feel full, and an hour and a half later, im hungry again!! as far as cravings go, once i eat and feel full, the cravings go away.

thats a good thought. thanks!! i just might try the potato soup. it seems as thick as the pudding/yogurt i have to eat.

any soup ideas for full liquid diet? i have a huge taste for applebee's potato soup!
