It's been 2wks since my surgery, so my dietician started me of soft foods today and for next 2.5mos. I soft scrambled an egg for lunch. Added just a touch of lowrys and black pepper. It was so good I got it down in less than 10min. Had that with a stick of mozz string cheese. Felt okay afterward too. Dinner I had 2.5oz of teriyaki flavored soft chicken and 4 wheat thins. I feel a little discomfort, likely the wheat thins. Swore I chewed them pretty well. I'd really like to scramble 2 eggs for breakfast tomorrow, and eat what I can. I just want to be really mindful of meal weight or volume so I don't exceed what's allowed, and stretch my stomach.

How many days since your surgery? I'm about to finish week 2, and I know I don't have a puree stage either. I'm curious when you got out of the liquid protein stage.

I'm taking antacid Omeprazole 2x day for the first month out.

Funny you mention that! My first soup tried was cream of mushroom. I do pick the Healthy Request cans. Like a dodo I missed the add 1can water on the label. While eating it, I was shocked how rich and flavorful it was haha. Lesson learned....Campbells not the same as Progresso where it's ready to heat n serve. Now THAT ONE had me lightheaded for hours! NEVER AGAIN!

I had the sleeve. Thanks for the great feedback. I will surely discuss with my dietitian too. I need to remember the 3 meals per day plan and not do this as a "snack". That's where the triple zero greek yogurt supplements my protein. I just don't wanna bust a leak. I do sip it down over 20-30min, but if I'm just forcing undigested soup into my intestines by having more than 8oz that's good to know also.

They want me starting at 4oz, and keep trying to get to 8oz over the next week. When I made my first can, I expected to sip down until I felt stomach distension. Never got a signal, so I slowly sip and spoon it down.

I'm 9 days out, and on the liquid diet. I am able to have an entire small can of Campbells healthy request tomato soup in one sitting. Adding one soup can of water and heat it up. I pour it into a large coffee cup and sip it down in 20-30min. No stomach distention. It seems odd, but could any of you stomach that much liquid?
