SO today is my last day of my post op diet, and I get to have Full liquids tomorrow. What do you all suggest? My dr suggests runny mashed potatoes, yogurt, creamed soups., etc Anyone have any other suggestions? I can't wait to eat something with substance. It is going to be really hard to eat slow though, because I am so hungry!!!

I understand that. Nothing tasted so good to me as mashed taters! I am also really enjoying v8

Hey all. I started a separated fb page so I can connect stay connected with my fellow banders! I was banded 3-1-12 my fb is marchbander@yahoo.com my name is manda gay. Feel free to friend me!

I was given a list of things I could it on my liquid diet.. They were, sugar free puddings and jello, cream of wheat ( with added milk or water just so it pourable ), protein shakes, crystal light, tomato soup, cream of chicken, or any creamed soups that has water added just so it's runner then usual. I could not eat mashed potatoes until now, which is I'm on the mushy stage now, but still haven't eaten any. Trying to stay away from high carb foods, so potatoes ( unless they are in a soup, like veggie beef soup then I will ) are out for me..

My first mashed potatoes were awesome! Our diets sound pretty much the same with the cream soup and yogurt. I added avocados because they were just as awesome as the potatoes. You can also eat baby food.

Also so you don't eat too fast put your fork down for a least a minute before you take another bite. Good luck moving forward!

Thanks for the great tips. I am so ready for this next phase!!!

Split Pea soup has lots of protein and its so yummy! Yogurt is good too! And don't forget your protein shakes! Enjoy!!

I like sweet red pepper tomato soup. Adding Mrs Dash salt free flavorings to the soup before you heat them is very nice. The tiny spices reconstitute and they are lovely. Also I used a stick blender to mix up greek fruited greek yogurt. You can add milk if it is to thick. Has a nice texture.

I ate lot of those soups that come in cartons rather than a can. they are great and you an put your protein powder in them (I use GNC unflavored)...I love the butternut squash and the roasted red pepper.

My first food was KFC's mashed potatoes and gravy (this past Wednesday). I added unflavored protein powder. It was so yummy. I have never been that big of a mashed potatoes fan, but boy, these were heavenly. I was careful to eat slowly. Then i ate the other half of them for my next meal.

I ate (drank) a lot of the carton soups like xavier...i was on full liquids for 6 weeks so I had time to try em all! My favorite was a spicy bean soup from Pacific, found in the organic section! So good! Sugar free fudgsicles saved me too.
