I'm 1 week post-op so still on liquids for another two weeks. I'm so thankful my pre-op diet let me have 1 "meal" a day. The shakes are all so sweet just the thought of them makes me nauseous. Someone on another thread introduced me to Swansons flavor infused broths. I really like the Mexican Tortilla Soup. There is also a Thai ginger & hot and sour. The provide enough flavor to cancel the sweet.

Thanks for the tip, do you add non-flavored Protein to meet daily requirements?

I laughed so hard when hearing all of you. I can relate. I have been doing the Atkins shakes. They are premixed ready to go, 15 grams of Protein in each so I need at least 4 for the day. I also drink v8 and chicken broth as well. I don't seem to be doing too bad on the pre-op liquid diet, it's really a mental thing. Keep telling your mind that you really not hungry ( when you really are). when I need to get my jaws going I get is sugar free popsicles. I am concerned about getting my daily protein after the surgery on the 27th. I saw someone mention non flavored protein to add to drinks where do I get that?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
