I am allowed Soup on my pre-op and post op liquid diet. It just needs to be creamy and not chunky. I add Unjury unflavored Protein Powder and it's been a great alternative to shakes! But, it seems every doctor has different recommendations so you may want to ask their office.

It was one of my staples in my full liquids phase.

I ate it without issue, some complain that its too acidic and can cause discomfort. If you're cleared for full liquid and really craving it (I sure was) maybe take a few sips and see how it sits with you :-) best wishes

I had it 3 times a day on the full liquid part of my post op. Had it not been for that, I may have not survived.

Good luck to you. 1 week out is not the best time but I can tell you it will get SO much better and you will be loving your sleeve and your new life.

I'm not that far ahead of you but the difference between 1 week and 8 is amazing and you will be so happy so just hang in there! :)

Probably the best thing I had during full liquids, I felt so much better when I added smooth soups!

Tomato Protein Soup is awesome as a balance to Protein Shakes during the first few weeks. You can add some lobster bouillon for a yummy lobster bisque. I drank this as an alternative to shakes until the purée stage. Tomato protein soup has about 12-15 g of protein depending on the brand you buy or you can mix in some flavorless protein powder ( might end up a little chunky).

Didn't go to Dr Garcia but I have lost 41 lbs (including pre-op diet). I am almost halfway to my weightloss goal.

I am exercising and following the post op diet. Still working to eat slowly and avoid snacking. Off all blood pressure meds too!

Sounds like you are going to do really well! Hope your first week at work goes well.

      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!!
