Hi fellow bandsters!

I'm 5 days post-op and I'm dying of hunger! Lol not really, but I'm seeking something more substantial than the broths, shakes, yogurt and milk I've been living on since Monday. I am allowed "strained low-fat cream soups" so I am looking for suggestions! I'm preparing for a trip to the grocery store tonight so what do you recommend? I'm not very familiar with cream Soups so input is appreciated :-)

I had cream of broccoli and cream of chicken both. I had a little of each left in the fridge and mixed them together and it wasn't that bad. Was kinda like a mini casserole in liquid form.

I also had cream of potato the other day. I have a can of cream of celery my husband bought me but not sure it sound very appealing to me. I may have to go buy something else (cream of soup) to mix it with.

Good luck. Let me know if you come up with any other combinations that are good. :D

When I was on that phase, I really loved the V8 Soups. There's no chunks in them and they're a creamier Soup. They have flavors like Tomato Garden, Butternut Squash, and Potato Basil. They're so good and very good for you- low fat and a full serving of veggies.

:( My sucky Walmart does not carry those kind of Soups. I wish they did because I love regular v8. I really love the spicy v8 but not sure if it is smart to drink it 6 days post-op.

I found a fiesta nacho cheese Soup from campbells in my cabinet. I might try mixing it and cream of broccoli together, may get dangerous and add some cream of chicken to it and see what happens.

You never know we may come up with some new recipes for post-op diets and make a cook book. haha :P

I actually did that! I mixed cream Soups all the time. One of my favorites was mixing cream of chicken with cream of onion. It was really really good!

Did any of u blend your Soups? I have been because I was under the impression I needed too. But does it go down okay without? I would rather not, as it takes away all the flavor!! Thanks!

I did not. I bought a sifter like for flour and ran my Soup through it to remove any chunks.

I also had the strain all my cream soups...not just because of chunks but to thin them out. For me regular thickness was a no no according to my doc.

I used a lot of the Lipton cup-o-soups - Cream of chicken, Tomato were my favs. Took me forever to get them in...kept having to warm them up.

Good luck!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
