Well I had my surgery 12-26-12 day 4 of recovery i started out as being 390 lbs got down to 340 prior to surgery weight in this morning at 326 , I need some suggestions on different kinds of things to eat mixing broths or something I'm getting tired and burned out eating the same thing any suggestion? Thanks

Miso soup ... Changed my life !! Who knew it came in so many favors ! Hang in there it gets better. Also unjury makes chicken soup flavored protein that was huge help getting protein in anything colder than room temp hurt my sleeve for several months.

First of all... Congrats on your surgery!

Now the bad news... liquids suck. There is not a whole lot of variety but some of my favorites were Jello and top raamen broths. If you cook the raamen with noodles and then drain the broth it seems more substancial. yes you get a few carbs in the process but not really enough to matter. I also switched up my juices to get different flavors and intermixed sugar free apple cider.

hope this helps!

Right after my surgery I concentrated more on getting fluid in rather nutrients, and protein. I ate a lot of SF Popsicles and crystal lite flavored water. I had trouble getting protein shakes in, but would sip on Chike drink all day.

I am not really having trouble taking liquids down, i just am having problems with my throat feels like the thing in the back of my throat is touching my tongue causing discomfort is that normal ?

My throat was horrible post surgery from two endoscopies and the other things they stick down your throat during surgery. It's possible you are still feeling the effects of this. Didn't see your surgery date. I found that taking the pain medicine (the PRESCRIPTION pain medicine) was the only way to eat for the first few days. Without it in my system, I was having trouble swallowing even Water. However, if you are further out from surgery, then I am not sure what you are feeling. Also, are you on an antacid? A lot of people seem to need them to relieve the burning sensation in the back of our throats...especially when we are eating.
