So I am about to be sleeved and I am thinking ahead to my full liquids phase; I have some unflavored protein powder to add to my broths and I want to know - what is the rule on cream soups? No chunks, nothing to chew, just cream soups. I have a lobster bisque that is very smooth and creamy and absorbs the protein really well, is it okay??

Bisques as a rule are VERY high in fat. But, during my liquid phase, I had some crawfish bisque a few times. I got soooooo sick of chicken broth and canned cream soups taste like crap. It is more important in the beginning to get your fluids in than it is to worry about the calories or carbs. I have to tell you that the bisque was very soothing as well. As long as there are no lumps or bumps, you should be fine. If you can add some unflavored protein to it...even better. Just be careful to not add to much or the consistency is funky.

I've been adding about a cup of cottage cheese and a little basil to a can of condensed tomato Soup with 1.5 cans of milk. I have a Vitamix, so I can turn anything into liquid. I get about three meals from this.

Another thing I've been doing to make flavorful cream soup is to take a can of Healthy Request soup (Mexican chicken is my fav so far) and put it into the Vitamix, which turns it into a cream soup. I did this with clam chowder last night. It was average....wouldn't do it again. I have several other varieties to try, all chicken, since beef is not yet allowed.

Very soothing and satisfying to the stomach and head.

As far as a Protein drink. I have the normal 30 gram premade Protein drinks of course. I also bought a bag of 100% whey in vanilla. I put a scoop of the protein in the Vitamix, 2 TBLS Peanut Butter, one banana and Water and ice and blend to a thin liquid consistency. Tasty and masks the taste of the Protein Powder mostly. This is higher in calories than a regular Protein Drink, but it gives me the potassium my cells need and extra protein from the peanut butter, not to mention, a more satisfying drink.

I made the yummiest bean soup last night, couldn't handle chicken anymore.... In a pan, sauteed a little onion, garlic, jalapeno, weiners (I didn't have ham in the house so used 2 fat free beef franks), and tomato......until the tomato sort of starts to cook....(added some chicken buillion - the mexican in me can't cook without my knorr suiza) Dumped it all in the blender with a can of pinto beans, and liquified......pour into pan, added water to blender to "rinse and get extra water"....and heated up...voila.... I was so sick of chicken and canned creamed soups, plus I also needed the fiber to get the pipes moving again....(oh! and boy did they move this morning) It was heavenly......

I'll assume you meant the soup was heavenly, and not the pipes moving! ROTFLMAO!! :cool0:

I am scheduled to be sleeved 8/28 and I am trying to figure out what will work good for me. Can anyone tell me what the post-op diet for Dr. Aceves is going to be and for how long? Thank you all so much for all of this information.

Dr Aceves does a 10-10-10 each of clears, fulls and mushies. Then you go to regular soft food slowly and up from there. I am on fulls today...day 1!!! I am wanting some cream soup in a big way.
