I picked broth from my favorite Chinese restaurant from their Won Ton Soup and it was a great change up for me. Some people on here also have broth from Pho which is another Asian Soup, but we don't have any places around here with it.

It gets better. I am 17-days post op and it gets better.

me too I had surgery the same day as u! congrats! I haven't been drinking broth because it's nasty and too salty, my blood pressure was high after surgery so all I've been drinking is Water crystal light and Jello even crystal,light is getting too sweet so now just water. Tomorrow I can have Protein Shake and pureed foods I can't wait!

Congrats to you. This liquid phase is bothersome. I am going to tell my doctor there is no way on the planet I will be able to purée meats when the time comes next week. I'm a texture person and meat should not be put in a blender. I can't eat cooked fruit, oatmeal anything close to oatmeal a form or slimy texture. I have a lot of foods I can't and won't eat. You would think I would be naturally thin.

you know believe it or not I've been enjoying my pureed canned chicken and tuna I pureed it with 2Tbsp of low fat mayo and added some pepper not to bad I also are some unsweetened applesauce not to bad. I'm glad to not have to eat broth any more yes!

Just remember that even if the food sounds terrible, it is a very short period of time and will be over before you know it. PLEASE don't cheat. I've seen people hurt themselves by moving on too quickly.

Had my surgery 9/30 too & this not eating is the hardest thing EVER!! The only junk I want is Pizza! I want a good salad, a sandwich or some grilled chicken!! Of course it's too early for any of that but I'm ready for something REAL! 9 days out- 10lbs down! :) Congrats to all of you!

I had surgery in 09/16th, so 3-weeks and 2-days ago and I had a lap-band removal and revision to RNY. My doctor has me progressing with food such as crumbled hamburger meat with cheese.

Hopefully, you can have that soon. I am drinking plenty of fluids everyday and taking the Vitamins as directed. It gets better.

      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!!
