I had surgery 5 days ago and I am having a really tough time not only getting in fluids but definitely nutrients. The protein shakes, the gummy vitamins, the yogurt, the applesauce... Everything is so sweet! My new tummy doesn't seem to like it and it all leaves such a nasty after taste in my mouth. Anybody have salty or spicy food suggestions? I am on full liquids.

Soup , broth, tomato juice(don't know if this is too acidic).

If you are on full liquids are you allowed cream soups like strained cream of chicken or mushroom?

Thanks to the new site changes I have no idea what surgery you had, but if sleeve I think you are expecting a lot too soon.

All drs are different, but mine has all his patients on nil by mouth till day 5, then only Clear Liquids like clear soups, watered down juices, tea without milk and Water, water, water. He doesn't believe the stomach has healed enough to even start eating/drinking before day 5. For me that was just perfect - others may be able to eat earlier or later, that's normal variation.

I'd take it slowly for now - as long as you water intake is decent you'll be fine for a while.

It truly does get a little better each and every day. Before you know it, your new normal has arrived.

Good luck.
