I'm two days out of surgery. Was on Clear Liquids yesterday and today I get to go back to my Protein Shakes. Was curious if I can have Tomato Soup? ?? Doc didn't mention anything about any other liquids besides the Protein shakes.< /p>

When I was at my one week post-op appointment, I got in trouble for having pureed Italian Wedding Soup because of the Pasta in it (my bad). The nurse suggested I eat Tomato Soup.< /p>

I think you should direct this question to your dr. My dr is extremely lenient and said I could eat Soups with Pasta and veggies in it. Other drs only suggest straight clear liquids. I'm 10days post op and can eat regular food. I'm shocked he allowed this but he said since I don't have trouble keeping anything down go for it. Happy dance**!!

That's awesome you can have normal foods already! I cannot wait until I can even eat some fruit! I'm on full liquids right now but the only thing the dr stressed at the hospital were the Protein shakes. I know they are important but mine are nasty so I'm not only going to have only the shakes all day I need a little variety lol.

I am on full liquids and some soft foods, when I need to crunch on something, I've been eating , believe it or not, Gerber Graduates cheese puffs' they are made for toddlers and totally disintegrate in your mouth' also my dr allowed me Ritz crackers with laughing cow cheese! The crackers also turn to mush in your mouth, little things like this mean the most to me! Good luck

That's too funny and a great idea! My kids use to eat the puffs when they were little. I know they are loaded with Vitamins and aren't half bad. I'm going to have to get some thanks for the tip!

Well, my coordinator took a couple of us out for tortilla soup(basicly tomatoe Soup w/a few spices) 2days after surgery. It was considered ok in my 10 day clear liquid phase. So IMO you'd be fine.

      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!!
