I had a RNY gastric bypass. According to my meal plan, the following foods are identified for up to 4 weeks after surgery. These are called full liquids and their definition is semi-solid or pudding like consistency. The foods are:

Strained baby cereals, cream of wheat, cream of rice, malt-o-meal, oatmeal, grits, cocoa wheat, farina, instant mashed potatoes, strained cream Soups, unsweetened applesauce, baby food fruits/vegetables, sugar free pudding, yogurt (non-fruit variety), low fat cottage cheese, low fat cheese, various Beans but not baked beans.

Sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and broth is allowed as a snack between meals.

I had surgery on May 19th. I'm floating in your same boat. I just want FOOD! I'm allowed to have cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soups. I can also have coffee with sugar free creamer. If you haven't tried Adkins mocha protein shakes, then you should..they are good! I also am allowed Greek yogurt. I get the strawberry kind and don't get the fruit. Check with you dr or nutritionist and see if any of these are ok with them. Like I said all doctors are different. I hope things get better!!

I felt the same way I was going insane!!! Not good advice but I had a few taste of foods and made sure I did not swallow them then spit them out :/ I tried that with soda not too long ago it look delish and it was so gross way too sweet that I won't be doing that again! :)

Since I'm 6 days in... do you know if sugar free fudge popsicles n sugar free pudding I can have now?

Keeba: I could have fudge pops after day 2 post op. I loved unflavored protein powder in my jello. And dannon fit&?? Vanilla yogurt. The yogurt helped me stay full the longest.

If it is liquid form at room tempurature. So Jello, pudding, and SF Popsicles all all considered liquid. Remember to strain the soups.

Jello and popcicles I was allowed, pudding had to be thinned with milk to a fall off spoon. Lots of soups made with milk and blended.. Broths were allowed too!

In the same boat (same surgery date), I feel like I'm hungry and everything I eat just makes me nauseous anyway... can I eat real food again?
