Banded 7/9 & there is no way I am going to last another freaking week on pure liquid. I need to eat, but what???

I was re-positioned on 7/9 and am still on liquids as well. Tomato soup has been WONDERFUL (especially since my hernia is fixed and no more reflux... yay!). V8 tomato soup is soooo flavorful. That is my favorite. I also have been drinking Protein shakes. I fortunately still haven't gotten my hunger back yet, so I am hanging in there ok.

You can do this!! One day at a time.

Mix it up... otherwise it will drive you nuts. I LOVE love LOVE Chili's chicken Enchilada Soup... I went and ordered a bowl to go, asked them to not ladle too much chicken etc into it.... took it home and strained it and it was soooo good. Having the flavor of a real soup made all the difference.

Miso broth, pho broth, and thom Kai broth are all really good and taste exactly the same as they would you're just not eating the stuff in it! Egg flower soup broth too. I like a variety of Asian food and so eating the soups have been making this whole two weeks of liquid thing go a lot easier for me. Also the V8 soups that come in a box are really good I particularly like the butternut squash! Hope this helps!

Yes. Probably. I couldn't drink or eat anything acidic before I had the hernia fixed. Granted I am only a week post-op... but the fact I can drink tomato Soup without heartburn is already an improvement!!! Can't wait to see how things go when I am back on solid food.

Are they going to fix your hiatal hernia when they band you??
