Hello, I am having the sleeve surg on Dec. 3. On the third day Post op I start my full liquid diet. My paperwork says I can have strained cream Soups. I HATE creamed soups. I need ideas on what to eat in replace of those. What kinds of food did you all eat?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

@@Susan909 Hi, I'm on that now. That's a hard one because the only thing I am allowed are all the clears and cream Soup pudding and cream of wheat. Do you like cream of wheat? There are soooooo many cream Soups out there are you sure you Don't like any of them? I didn't even realize how many until I had to buy some. We got cheddar cheese, cream chicken and herb (which to me taste like thanksgiving, my daughter says chicken dumplings) Cream of shrimp ect....do you not like them or is it the texture?

Thanks for asking . It's the taste and texture..... Even the smell gags me.

I do like Cream of Wheat tho.

How are you feeling? Have you been hungry?

@@Susan909 No I don't really feel hunger but I eat and drink because I know I have too. I don't dislike what I am eating I just don't have that desire for food as of now. Do you like French onion Soup?

@@Susan909 and of course I don't eat the cream Soup straight out of the can I do dilute it with Water plus I add some unflavored Protein Powder to it. It's too strong to eat just straight.

I loved all my cream Soup options, but other things I drank were drinkable yogurt, diluted and pureed split pea soup, Protein Shakes doctored with Mio and Dasani flavor drops, PB2, pureed peaches and mangos, and Torani syrups (nearly unlimited flavor options) . I also added unflavored Protein powder to..... French onion soup base, miso soup, egg drop soup, lobster bisque, beef broth, chicken broth, Swansons tortilla soup base, hot and sour soup base.

Me too....getting sleeved on the 3rd that is! I have heard that tastes change after surgery so I got powdered vanilla Protein, several sugar free Toranis and some unflavored Protein powder...hoping I can get through what amounts to a month on liquids with the variety...

I didn't do a lot of cream Soups. I did some, but I also did keifir, some Protein shakes, yogurt and cottage cheese. I made oatmeal using the Protein Shakes, miso Soup with bits of tofu and grits with a bit of cheese added in.

Try out different things and see what you do like.

      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!!
