Hi everyone-

I am brand new to the site and brand new to my band. I saw a few people talk about egg drop Soup - can anyone give me a hint where to find it and what other things to have in the STAGE 1 - liquids to thick liquid phase. I am getting a little hungry

Thanks

Hey, Congralations. I am five days out. Look on the post about foods and you should find your egg drop soup. I can only have clear liquids this week so it is high protein slim fast, chicken or beef broth, 2% milk, sugar free jello and sugar free popicles. Best of luck to you and if I can help you can PM me at any time.

Thanks Sallyjo-

That sounds about my list but they have me making Protein shakes that are at least as thick as egg drop soup so I don't know.

Check out this thread about egg drop soup:

Tryed the receipe and found it to be awesome. So definitely follow the egg drop soup thread.

I am 6 days post lap band and am on purees plus one liquid protein drink a day. I have pureed grilled fish (with fish stock), grilled chicken breast (with chicken stock), tofu and vegetables (with miso), chili with salsa, tuna and egg salads with a little mayo or hummous. All tasted great and went down fine.

Good luck!

I am 7 days post op, and doing clear liquids, gradually phasing in thicker ones beginning today. I did a lot of the Zero carb Isopure drinks, half in the morning and half in the afternoon, for the protein. They are completely clear, and pack 40g. of protein per bottle. Can't say it didn't take a few drinks per day to accustom to the taste! I drink some 1/2 c. or so of light fruit juice per day, some days I do some Gatorade, also jello, popsicles. Lots of plain ol' water. When my DH, and DD, wanted to stop and eat the other day they ate chinese, so I could eat soup! Was an easy thing to do that day, not eating the rest. Of course it helped that they were out of Crab puffs...my weakness, so I didn't have to see them!!! I am not tummy hungry yet, but the head hunger has hit me a few times, distracting myself when it happens has worked, it means it is time to go walking!! Good luck everyone!!

Hey Kat You are doing great. You are one day ahead of me. What does isopur taste like. I am on high protein slim fast but yours has way more protein. Keep it up.

Hi Sally Jo, I won't lie and tell you it is delicious!!! It is not something I would have ever likely CHOSE to drink! It has the protein aftertaste to it, and that is what I don't like. However, after the first few sips, I get accustomed to it (yes each time!!!) And I know it is what keeps me feeling strong and ready to go. It comes in several flavors, I think I like the Grape Frost, and the Apple Melon the best. I also drink the orange, and the mango peach. I buy mine at GNC. When I last bought them proir to surgery they were buy 5 get one free, and run about $3.50 a piece. But I figured since i would be drinking them exclusively for my protein during the clear liquid phase it was well worth it. Hope you are doing great!!
