Soups at liquid stage?
My directions from Dr is creamy Soups purred and strained at this stage. Creamy chicken as an example. That is. I am on progressive Soup website and so many of the soups look great. I know not to do Pasta or rice. What about chicken and veggies. Purify them and strain them. Is this okay?

I know most people or carb crazy but will I ever be able to eat a sandwich again?
Endless80, there is nothing wrong with that question. I am post sleeve 5 days and I think everyday. Oh I hope I can have that one day. Not that I want to eat poorly or go back to what I once ate but I am Human. Clearly I acknowledge that I needed help. I went through a tough 5 days in MX to have irreversable surgery so that I can change my life style, eat healthier, make better choices and loose weight. That does not mean I am dead!!!!! I dislike when people slam Others for wanting a carb now and again or sandwich. I doubt too many spent the time money and effort to go through this to only eat what we once did

My new tummy 5 days post op. help?
I traveled home from TJ today. Surprisingly everything was fine. In the hospital and hotel I was hesitant drink fluids because I wanted to lay down. Since I was on a 5 hour flight sitting up I had 16 oz of apple juice (still need a BM). Then I had 8 oz Water Came home and had 1 cup almond sugar free almond milk with sugar free carnation Breakfast. I had this within 30 minutes. Then I was craving chicken broth. I strained Campbell's chicken noodle and drank that. ( about 3/4 cups) Everything went down fine. No pain. Should I be worried I am Drinking too much to soon

Secret Sleevers?
I am having my surgery next week and the only people who know are my Mother and my very good friend who I work with. I only told h because of work. I don't want negativity and opinions. All my friends are either skinny or normal size. They don't get it. I am Going to Mexico and I can't even imagine what I would hear about that. I do hate lying though. It is clear that I have struggled and when I loose wight I Hate the thought of taking full ownership when I did have help. I will decide if I tell anyone after. And I feel tell one tell all because most people have a big mouth.
