So I had a little meltdown yesterday. I am so sick of this liquid diet! Supposedly the nurse at the bariatric program is going to get back to me today to add some things to my diet (puree, please!) but I haven't heard from her yet.

It is SO frustrating. I mean, I can't argue with having lost 7 pounds in a little less than a week since surgery, but if I never look at another plate of chicken broth again, it'll be too soon!

why cant you eat other things then just broth...my doc's post op diet is clear liquid for 3 days then full liquid (any thing that can be sipped thru a straw) after that how long have you been post op??

Oh, I can eat things other than broth. I was just exaggerating. I was banded Aug. 5, so I'm 7 days post-op ... and learned today that I can phase pureed foods into my diet! Yay!

I'm absolutely STARVING today!!!

Broccoli cheese Soup

3 cans chicken broth

1 pound of broccoli (I used the frozen type)

8 oz light Velveeta Cheese

Boil the chicken broth and broccoli until broccoli is tender. Then put in 8 oz of the light Velveeta cheese until it is melted. Season to taste. Puree in a blender for liquid phase!!!

I'm 65 lbs down since 2-8-10. Funny part is I was so upset just like you. I would vomit thinking of smelling chicken broth. I was asking myself why did I do this. One day I took my son to his awards banquet for wrestling, and they had Fugedaboutiz pizza. The best in town. I just wanted to kill someone for a bite. It was so painful. I forgot all about that day until I read your post. Although your going through a tuff day, it will pass and you will forget about it just like I did. Just be patient, because it's just around the corner and you'll be able to eat something pleasing. Best wishes.

I looked back for one of the posts I wrote about that was similar to yours. Take a look, and I hope you can chuckle. I was dead serious about being tired of the liquid diet.

But you were sick of being obese even more, right?

This, too, shall pass...

That's right. You were also one of the coaches I listened to back then. Thanks for your support.

I know it's really hard---but things get so much better. Hang in there!

Hi guys, I too am 7 days post-op, and I am also sick of liquids. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I really needed that, I have lost 12lbs post-op total of 22 and that feels great. I have my post-op visit next Wed. hope to be able to add in the pureed foods.

I think when I have to start my clear liquid diet I will stock up on a bunch of different flavor soups and strain them. I know just from the 3-day fast for my endoscopy and colonoscopy how quickly the tastebuds get sick of plain old broth. My first cup tasted so delicious, but by the 3rd day forget it.

I honestly felt that the liquid post-op was harder than the pre-op. But today is the day that I finish the mushy part and I have to say, I am a little scared. I almost wish I could hide behind the shakes again....
