January 31, 201412 yr Yes, for the first 4 weeks or so loved cream of chicken and pea Soup. These were on my NUTs list of foods, were filling easy to eat and had some Protein. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a Protein powder that is chicken soup flavored that is mixed with hot Water that is tasty and full of protein.
January 31, 201412 yr I loved the cream of chicken soups too. Mixing with milk tastes better and gives extra protein (as well as calories). Nearing the end of that phase when I was getting hungrier I'd take a can of chicken and blend it in with the soup. Tomato soup was another favorite.
January 31, 201412 yr Author I can do cream of soup to to lactose free I need. Was thinking maybe french onion soup but no cheese.
January 31, 201412 yr There is a brand called Imagine that makes a line of organic soups sold in the health section of our regular grocery store. I loved the potato leek and still use that for various recipes -- makes everything creamy.
February 2, 201412 yr Hi all, I was banded on Jan. 27, 2014. Almost a week, and I am starving. I'm healing well. Never had the shoulder pain but did have dry heaves at the hospital. I am so happy to be on this side of the surgery and looking forward to a healthy life and diet.
March 11, 201412 yr Im 5days post op and have no idea what full liquid diet consist of. Any suggestions
March 11, 201412 yr Im 5days post op and have no idea what full liquid diet consist of. Any suggestions For me, I was not on clear liquids just liquids. I had a lot of cream of chicken soup, protein shakes, tomato soup, and various fruit juices.
March 11, 201412 yr I can completely understand and that stage is difficult. I'm a texture person. I eat food for the texture almost as much as taste (and there are certain food I avoid just because I can't stand the texture). This phase will pass soon enough.
March 11, 201412 yr Author I agree it does blow, I tried so many different drinks of the pre made Protien shakes, making my shakes, jello, yogurts, you name it but if you are healing quick like I did, when I saw my dr one week after surgery my dr said I healed great and was able to introduce small amounts of foods slowly. First thing I tried was these turkey meatballs from farmrich, hade two of them and serving size was 6, it feels great to chew real food. I still do my shakes and they do help with getting all Protien in for the day. I am an impatient man but you can stick it out and never go against the dr orders.
March 11, 201412 yr I really cant wait to see my dr. I think im falling into depression i need home cook meals
March 12, 201412 yr I really cant wait to see my dr. I think im falling into depression i need home cook meals How long do you have to stay on full liquids? I went through a bit of depression as well. I think a number of us have based on other conversations. Some people have just cried for days. I wish you the best. You'll get through this and we're here for you. Definitely talk to a doctor and maybe start some meds to help you out.
March 12, 201412 yr My was clear liquids ( something you can see through) for up to day 8, broth, herbal tea (no caffeine) Jello SF ( no red) and Popsicles and water. They told me not to drink the protein cause it could be hard on it. They want pouch to heal before you introduce too many foods.
Any suggestions on soups for liquid after surgery diet?
