Have you tired Dole's Real fruit popsicles? They are little high in sugar than sugar-free popsicles but are more tasty than sugar-free. Plus they count as fluids too! I've gotten them at Walmart in the freezer section. Just check the nutrition label.

Hopefully, you can move onto to full liquids soon and be able to eat thinned oatmeal or grits.

Good luck!

Heat up some V-8, puree some salsa in the food processor or blender and mix it in. It is a very tasty and satisfying Soup during the liquid stage.

I also made some of the old diet cabbage Soup - chicken or veggie broth, a can of pureed tomatoes and cabbage sliced thinly. Cooked it til the cabbage was tender. Then gave it a whizz with my stick blender. I made it sweet and sour by adding some vinegar and splenda.

Depends on what your protocol is. If it's Clear Liquids you need, then you can try Syntrax Protein shakes...Fuzzy Peach or Roadside Lemonade are my favourites. You can also try Isopure which has 40g of Protein per bottle...though 4 days after surgery it would probably take you all day to get through the 20 ounces.

Water...always a good option and weak herbal teas. An Crystal Light...and that's about all I can think of for now.

I'm four days post op also on full liquids, and Dr said I could have yogurt,pudding, egg drop Soup

But I haven't been hungry since surgery, and it still feels like I could eat anything if I tried too,

you can have canned Soup but strain it, Lipton cup of soup cream of chicken is good, and you add a little more Water to keep it thin. But this helped take away the hunger sum. Protein Shakes sipped on also helped.

Can you drink Milk or Skim Milk ? Its a thought.

I am also 4 days post op. Today was my first hungry day. I had some diet Jello and a Protein shake. I just joined this group for support. I don't know anyone with the Lapband but I do know multiple people who failed with gastric bypass.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome Aboard !

Again try some Soups but strain them.

Pop cycles S.F. Or fruit cycles help.

Iliked Lipton cup of Soup Cream of chicken.

Good tastes, and you make it how you want it.

It helped kill the emptiness.

Your Protein shakes should help the Hunger also.

Good Luck, Shirley.biggrin.png

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
