Hello everyone, just joined this group and am excited! I just had my sleeve surgery 8/29 and I feel starved. I drink 3 protein shakes a day and drink a lot of water. My recommended foods said blenderized lentil, pea or butternut squash soup. I fee like that will make me even more gassy. Any recommendations that worked for others?

Yuck I could not even look at another protein shake post op because I had so many pre-op leading to my surgery. Not that its not good for you of course do not get me wrong! I know it is highly recommended but if you can stomach it good luck because I could not!! I just had a lot of sugar free jello and tomato soup. Pretty much all liquid based. I really could not even eat all of that I would get full so quickly. My first month food was pretty much non existent to me. I don't think I could look at sugar free jello ever the same way again

I mostly did protein drinks, watered yogurt down with Fairlife Milk and used different flavors to add punch to it. I did some butternut squash soup, some tomato soup (too acidy for me at first), and a ton of broth and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups. I also did won ton soup without the noodles--just broth from a Chinese food place.
I'd mix in protein (unflavored) into all my soups while it was cold then gently heated it to no more than 140 cuz I didn't like when the protein clumped when it got too hot.
I did not do well with the bean soups/pea soups. Gassy but also carby and that made me hungry.
Then SF popsicles and sf jello.
Oh and I did a ton of decaf coffee with my protein drinks in it as both hot and cold (iced) lattes and blended frappacinos.

I think the premier protein shakes & yogurt gave me crazy gas too! Hopefully I will be able to eat/drink later : ( I do have butternut squash I will try shortly.

I did split pea, butternut squash and tomato bisque. I did have to blend it however.
i also made a vegetable soup. Bone broth base, then steamed some carrots and tomatoes and put it in my blendtec blender on soup mode.

I am so proud of myself. Gastric bypass has been a journey and still is. I went from 274lbs my highest to 130lbs...

I use the PatchMD patches. I take way too many other pills. The patches are so easy!
