Thats what I'm doing now and its just making me nauseous, my nut told me no cream Soups bc they are high in fat but how bad could fat free be? And at 5 days out am I safe to have cream soups?

You got to follow your doctors orders. I didnt have cream based Soups until day 10 - but I had complications from surgery. Another suggestion would be to take the liquid from a pot roast its really delicious when on liquids.< /p>

Is your nutritionist and doc on the same page?

Mine often contradict each other. My NUT put me on 1000 cal diet where my Surgeon said I wasn't on a restricted calorie diet

I had cream Soups after day 3.. Was on full liquid for two weeks and the cream soups (no chunks )were fine with my doc and dietician . At that point you are having such small quantities that the fat and calories shouldn't make that much difference .

Get a bunch of Progresso Soups and strain out the veggies/noodles and drink the broth. It's better than just Herb-Ox type of broths. Those were awful.

The smell of chicken broth makes me want to vomit, just saying. I bought french onion, tortialla, Tomato, etc and did what the others said, I drained them....BUT KEEP THE SOLID PEICES! Put them in the magic bullet or blender of your choice and freeze them for you mushie stage!!

Love a good typo. Soap??? Stop now and switch to soup! Some people take noodle Soups and strain off the noodles, but I was lazy I used Tomato Soup, chicken/beef/or veg broths. Also used a lot of Chrystal Light drinks to get away from broths. Best of luck on your journey down Bariatric Lane.

Lol I just realized I typed soap haha

How much longer on clear liquid? I had one wk. Then to full liquids...clear was tough...I ate drank tea, broth popcicles andwater. I drank alot mind over matter. Full liquids I am having skim milk, progesso Soup and liquifey in my bullet. LF frozen yogurt 1/2 c. Once a day. pudding, broth and sugar free juices. Soon I'll be on mushies. It's been hard but I kept mysel busy. My problem was gas. Oh I also have fresh friut strawberries and banana along with 2 scoops of vanilla shake powder ice crushed and 1/3 c. To 1/2 c. Water. Mix in bullet tastes fantastic. So keep on keeping on and you'll make it through clear.GOD BLESS. BE safe...stay strong!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
