What types of soups and drinks do u eat durin full liquid stage. Is just brothe or pureed soups or cream soups. Im confused on what to buy. Any ideas wud b great.

i did broth for the first 7 days, then went to cream of tomato, potato soups. i know it sucks, but you are healing and need to adhere to the instructions on eating the doctor gives you. i was so happy to have soup after a week of broth and jello. go to lapband.com and there alot of recipes for all the stages.

My nutritionist advised me to eat sugar free jello, sugar free pudding and sugar free applesauce. I may drink low calorie drinks or diet drinks. I may not have soda or drinks with sugar. Protein shakes like Isopure, Designer Whey, Carnation Instant Advantage no sugar added, Atkins Advantage, Carb Solutions, Optisource High Protein Drink. Protein Shake must be whey protein, fat free and have less than 5g carb per cerving. Broth. If I am really hungry I may have a lean cusine. But I must say I feel dizzy when I don't eat. I do have type 2 diabetes so I drank oj and that seemed to help. I am not on a clear liquid diet though.

You can eat anything that you can "see through" if it was melted. Chicken broth, Beef broth, homemade soup broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello......don't eat "Cream of" until you are told by the dietician or doctor, about 2 weeks then you will go to "Soft foods" then other foods. You will get a fill then go back on clear liquids for a few days.

Do a google search for other ideas.

The first week was clear liquids, week 2 was cream soups, protein shakes (still all liquid), week 3 was soft food, mushies and week 4 was normal food (small portions and small pieces, chewed thoroughly).

Popsicles are good too

I just had a fill on Friday and haven't been able to eat much of anything at all with it. I suggest very soft soups, not a lot of noodles. Broth types for at least a couple days. Then I moved into pudding, mashed potatoes. I kind of treat it like right after surgery. I just don't wait the long amount of time in between to switch stages. Since each person is at a different phase, I'd say buy a little of each and once you figure out what you can and can't eat, you can always go back for more! Just don't overdue it.
