I'm staying away from carbs like noodles, but noodles are not a clear liquid. You might be able to mash and mush the noodles enough to get away with it on the pureed stage, but honestly, IMO there's not enough Protein in chicken noodle Soup to be choosing to fill your sleeve with noodles.

Always best to use a food processor to make sure chucks are extremely minimal. Your pouch may still be swollen and any chunks may cause discomfort

You can have the broth, but not the noodles. If you can make homemade and strain the nutritional value doubles

Had chicken Won Ton Soup the other evening, of course couldn't eat the Won Ton, but the broth was so rich and tasty! Maybe when I am cleared for Eggs--- Egg Drop soup ? And my current favorite China Buffet soup- Hot Sour Soup. How Bariatric friendly is that? My local place does not use celery in their formulation although some do. A very good BariBud Ellie123 says I would like like Thai Lemongrass, she's been right about many other things. I am getting antsy to get off bone broths although they are good and sort of nice bases.🍝

A lot of my surgeon's patients order strained chicken noodle Soup at a local restaurant chain during the liquid phase. The restaurant doesn't mind taking the noodles and meat out and just serving you the broth (hey, it makes some other customers really happy to get the extra!), and you get the full flavor profile and some of the comforting aspects of chicken noodle soup without anything that might hurt you.

In the puree stage I'd be tempted to make my own, instead, and to use veggie noodles instead of, you know, Pasta noodles. And then run that through a blender, of course.

You can also buy chicken noodle soup mix from this site, I think? and from DietDirect. That'll have more Protein than Campbell's.

None of the chinese restaurants in my area make good Won Ton soup. It's really sad. But when I used to live on the other side of town, that was always my go to in place of homemade chicken noodle.

I definitely think once you're cleared for eggs, Egg Drop soup can become a staple. (not my favorite soup at all, so no envy there. LOL :P)

The bone broths are what helped me through that liquid phase, not sure what I would've done without it.

      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!!
