FluffyChix, you are awesome! What great ideas!!! I've asked my Bariatric team on several occasions for ideas to make it less tedious and they came up empty handed. I particularly love the Asian soup idea and am going to try it tonight Thanks!!!

I feel you, Chas74! I am 6 days post op and in the "Full Liquids" phase for another 10 days--and I was on liquids for 2 weeks pre op. I too am so tired of liquids. Did you try tomato soup with a dollop of plain Fage Greek yogurt in? Also, my doc said I could have some very thin cream of wheat. Also, sugar free pudding is a nice treat that is permitted on Full Liquids. They also suggested putting a dollop of low-sugar smooth peanut butter in your smoothie, blending it very well, to give your taste buds some variety as well. Good luck and just remember, it will ALL be worth it! Counting the days until puree...

I am a 57 yr. old woman and was 250 lbs, 5'4". I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 2/21/20 and things went very smoothly. I was on a 2 week pre-op liquid diet and lost 14 lbs preoperatively. The first 3 days after surgery, when I was on clear liquids, I dropped another 6 lbs. But the needle on the scale has stopped since I started Full Liquids (3rd day of full liquids). Now I'm terrified that once I start pureed foods and move up from there, my weight will also move up instead of down.. Has anybody had any experience with this? I'm very worried that, based on past experience, no matter how much effort I put in, it just won't work. Am I expecting too much too soon?
