How much cream Soup (tomato, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, etc...) should we eat at one sitting in the full Fluid stage. It seems as though I can consume quite a bit and I'm worried that it may be too much. Any idea?

I think because it is a liquid you will not feel the restriction unless you take it too much at one time. I am on mushies and have the same problem. I will find out what kind of restriction I have when I move onto solids.

Thanks Lily (love your name). Do you know if there is a certain amount we should be consuming at meal time? Do we just eat until we're satisfied? Just don't want to sabotage my weight loss, if you know what I mean.

I just look at the amount of carbs and calories the "soup" is going to provide. As I do not want to go over my daily carbs. That being said I was eating half a can of cream Soup to know that I was getting enough but not too much. I have started making my own Soups (curry califlower is my favourite) and I have been eating about 4 - 8 oz of it. If I eat chili which is a bit more dense I can eat between 2-4 oz (I do not want to feel over stuffed so I take it easy). Hope this helps my best answer is go with a serving size that you feel comfortable eating (carb wise).

Thanks Cheri :D

I am 13 days out and can get between 1/4 and 1/2 cup down and feel stuffed. My Dr. wants me on Full liquids till day 20.sad.gif But honestly, I don't think I could get much more down (thickness wise) anyway. It's just a slow go for me.

I can probably eat 1 - 1 1/2 cups. That worries me!! I fight head hunger all the time with all the commercials and seeing others eating. I guess I'm not one of the lucky one's who has lost their hunger. That makes me real sad. :(

I crave everything all the time!! That was my problem before surgery as well. I LOVE food...I used to joke and say, "I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first!" I'm NEVER satisfied. If I could burn my tastes buds off, I would!! This is so depressing to realize that I'm always going to feel this way!

Someone PLEASE tell me I can eat so much right now because I'm on full liquids and they're just running through my sleeve instead of hanging around to tell me I'm full!!!

I am right there with you Can'tweight, I can easily have a can of Soup and then want more an hour later. I am very worried that I am going to be that 1 in a million failures. I am only 17 days out and starving. All Soups make me want to gag now. I took 2 bites of lowfat cottage cheese and thought I was in heaven. I am just want some food I can chew!!!!!!!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
