I was all geared up for some Soup. I wanted something different. I heated up a can of cream of chicken and mushroom soup. I added some garlic powder, salt, and pepper (my pre-op staples). I took one small sip and my stomach felt like it turned over. I tried a couple more small sips to make sure it wasn't just a reflex to something new. No go.

I am fine with warm broth and yesterday I was able to get through an entire Protein shake. I'm not sure what's going on today.

My Nutritionist would say to wait a week and then try it again.

New foods are all an adventure. I remember craving rice pudding in the first 3 weeks after surgery, taking one bite and then feeling HORRIBLE for an hour afterward. I had a really tough time finding stuff I could drink / eat. Just keep trying :-) It will get better!!!

Thanks y'all. I am good with pudding and slowly sipping protein shakes. I'll keep pushing through until I get to mushies. It seems like the world will open up and birds will sing and there will be sunshine again when I get off the fulls.

I just started soft foods today, I am three weeks post op... starting on 4. I breezed through week three fulls because I was hospitalized with a kidney stone, extra surgery to fix that so I didnt feel like eating anything anyway! I have trouble with thick things like pudding and thicker Protein Shakes, etc. I tried soft dark meat chicken today and it went down a lot easier! I totally get it when the sleeve says hell no to some thick consistency things! I tried tuna salad today and I could only eat about an ounce of it. It didnt make me sick though... just full pretty quickly. I am waiting to get over this kidney thing and be back to my old self again too! Stay hydrated!

Mine hates cream soups too...
