This is probably more of a vent than anything else. I'm sure I'm not the first and I know it's not the end of the world but I'm starting to get very frustrated at the things I'm "allowed" to eat right now. I'm getting sooo sick of the same 3 flavors of Soup (cuz I can only have 98% fat free CREAM soup) and the same broth and the same non fat yogurt mixed with sugar free jelly and some pudding and Jello in between. I can't even tolerate the Protein drinks anymore. I'm on day 8 now (including surgery day) and I have only had 1 full Protein Drink since. I couldn't stand the taste of the others even though pre-op they were fine. I was ok at first but now it's getting worse. Instead of 3 flavors of cream soup, I can no longer tolerate cream of mushroom (it WAS my favorite of the 3). It now tastes disgusting to me post op. Maybe I'm just more irritated because I already had to do the liquid diet twice pre-op (they ended up pushing back my date the last day of my liquid diet the first time so I had to do it again for when I was rescheduled). Whatever it is, I feel extremely crabby and like my will to keep going is slowly being broken down. Anyone have any suggestions? What helped you through the 2nd phase (days 3-13) and farther along? I'm having a hard time finding things that even sound appealing that will give me the protein I need and stay within the boundaries of the post op diet.

Diet is full liquids:

Blended Soups

yogurt

Protein Drinks

pudding

jello

Water

broth

I strained chicken noodle soup today. It was so good. I found that the tomato soup gave me indigestion. Perhaps because of the hiatal hernia.

It could have been the acid from the tomatoes.

Egg drop soup became my new best friend today. That and a drained French onion soup with kimchi broth mixed.

So I talked to my surgeon and told him I'm getting less than 200 calories a day. He said he wouldn't worry about calories right now and just focus on staying hydrated and protein. He said the soups that you guys suggested are probably ok but everything else is not and to stick to the book I was given. I can't stand most things from the book anymore but I will stick too it. I'm nothing if I'm not stubborn so I will deal with it till I get to the next phase.

I know how you feel. I had my sleeve on 06/13 and I am struggling. I am having difficulty with just Water.

Just hang in there!

Hi. I had my surgery on 6/13 as well and can only drink about 8oz of water. A few bites of food here and there. I have lost about 25lbs, but I think a stall is coming soon because I'm not able to eat a lot. I would love to hear how your doing with food and weight loss.

Surgery was 6/21 and I'm like you, I'm already over my soups and broths. I like to cook real food so I jumped to soft foods early but now I regret it because I gained 2 pounds. My doctor said it was a bit early to move to soft foods so I decided to give the liquids/soups another try for 2 more weeks.

My favs so far have been the sugar free Popsicles and Hot and Sour Soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant. I might try the potato flakes with chicken broth as well.

Being a foodie, this is going to be a tough journey but with this support, I know I can make it through it. You will too

That first 2 weeks is brutal but you can do it.
