Am one week post op and my hubby and I are at bob Evans ... What can I get?????

water? Actually I am impressed that one week post surgery you wanted to leave the house! I still felt like crap!

I was on Only Protein Shakes for 4 weeks post op........

Strained broth-based soup?

Ok....my Dr said to add slowly and whatever I can tolerate sooo..

The verdict is Bob Evans bean soup. Can do the broth and mash up some of the Beans. I'll let ya know how it goes!

Wish me luck!!!

Thanks everyone!!

When your stomach gives you trouble tonight or tomorrow...Blame the beans!

Wow. One Week! I said you should turn around and go home.

Okay....UPDATE ALERT!!!

YES ALERT!

Don't do it! I tried a few spoonfuls of just the broth ...yuck! Too peppery.

"Maybe " a Tbsp of my husbands mashed potatoes.

The Verdict?

HEART BURN!!

Now home doing a Creamy Peanut Butter shake.

Live and learn

yeah one week out, stay home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went out to dinner my second day home with my family. I just ordered chicken broth. The waitress offered to bring me broth and vegetables. I said no thank you just the broth. Then she offered to bring me broth and chicken. Again, I said no thank you. The third time she got it. I paid $3 for a bowl of broth that I couldn't finish but it was a good feeling to be out.

Sunflower ... Where did you go? Was the broth something that was on the menu or did you ask if they could prepare it specifically for you??

It is nice getting out and being able to see how "our world" will be.

We have a Mexican restaurant near our house. They had chicken soup on the menu. The waitress said it was chicken, vegetables and a side of rice. That's when I asked for just the broth. They also had a beef soup so I guess I could of had chicken or beef broth.

I am 4 days post vsg and homemade meals so far. I cooked fresh chicken broth stock for 3 days. Chicken was used for my brothers. I included potatoes and carrots to have flavor. Also I added 1 TBS of chicken stock powder for flavor. A aqueeze of lemon and black pepper. I do no suggest to leave home till completing the liquid phase
