help!

Ok so I was sleeved on July 8th and I have a question. My doctor has me on 2 weeks of nothing but liquids after the 2 weeks of liquid preop and I'm dying to chew some food. I'm suppose to be on liquids until the 8th. I am looking for advice of maybe someone that had the same deal and maybe started the soft foods early. I just need something. I don't even like sweets so the fruit punch and chocolate Protein Drinks are killing me.

Have you tried thinning and straining cream Soups to give you something different?

I've tried straining chicken noodle Soup a couple of times but I want to try soft foods sooner to try to get my Protein Drink intake down some.

I had surgery on 7/8 as well. I'm on full liquids. I blended black bean Soup with a touch if garlic powder and onion powder. Great source of Protein and Fiber.

Also someone suggested I chew ice chips which helped because I was dying to crunch on something.

You could strain the cream Soups and then add an unflavored Protein Powder to them to get more Protein, also Unjury has a chicken broth protein powder.

You only have four more days of liquids- you can do this! If you start eating too soon, you can risk hurting your new sleeve, so you really need to be patient and follow your doctor's orders. I drank a lot of cream of Tomato Soup (made with milk) when I was on liquids. It doesn't have a lot of Protein, but drinking all the sweet liquids got to me too, so the Soup helped. Another thing I really liked was the broth from won-ton soup. My hubby would pick it up on his way home from work and he would eat the won-ton's and I would drink the broth. Again, not a good source of protein, but it tasted so good!

I can't have anything like that until the 8th. His diet for the first 4 weeks after surgery consists of Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. No Soups or anything like that
