My post op diet has so far consisted of sugar free Jello, Sugar Free pudding, Crystal Light Popsicle, chicken broth and now Campbells Soup At Hand Tomato. Of course EAS Advant Edge Protein Shakes too but I'm wondering what else I can add to make this liquid diet less restrictive.

What did you eat post op?

If you like refried beans...mix chicken broth in a food processor with fat free refried Beans and salsa and puree until smooth...as you progress you can add less broth and make it a little thicker so it fills you up better. I also added a spoonful of low fat sour cream after I heated it up for the richness.... I also made a squash Soup with a chicken broth base that you pureed until smooth, again, as I got further out put less chicken broth in to thicken things up a bit....sorry I don't have more suggestions!

My favorite thing when I was on liquids was to make Mrs. Grass chicken noodle Soup without the noodles, so it was just broth (you could also use Lipton). This broth is so much tastier than the plain chicken broth you buy in the container or buillon. It was warm, savory, and NOT sweet (I am not a fan of sweet, creamy flavors so struggled with the liquid phase since most of it is sweet). Just watch the sodium, especially if you have high blood pressure.

Another idea that I liked was plain Greek yogurt (non-fat) -- you need to thin it out alot with skim milk and add just a touch of Splenda to get rid of the sour taste. This has 10 grams of Protein per serving - you will probably be able to eat 1/2 a serving.

One more idea is Cambell's cream of asparagus or cream of broccoli soup -- add skim milk to thin it out and then put in blender to grind up the chunks, then strain through a strainer. I prepared full cans like this and then had enough for 3-4 meals.

I was also allowed applesauce which I found refreshing since it wasn't creamy. There is a sugar-free cinnamom apple sauce that is very good and only has 50 calories.

Good luck - and just remember this phase will pass before you know it!

I just put whatever the family was eating in the blender and thinned it down usually with broth. I some times added velveeta cheese to boost the Protein some. I used the Soup to go stuff too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
