I am 4days post op. I had 1/4 cup of tomato Soup didn't really finish that. I'm supposed to do Clear liquids but I feel myself getting dehydrated so I had to do something else to get in some sort of fluids.

Just looking to see what everyone else's. Post op sort consist of?

I know i shouldn't deviate but I felt myself getting dehydrated.

I'm confused, if you eat a thicker soup all you are doing is taking up room in your sleeve that is needed for clear liquid? Usually it is a healing thing why we are restricted to clear Fluid. If you feel dehydrated then Water and electrolytes are needed! Are you sure you're not just head hungry? I was not permitted anything other than unsweetened clear liquids for two weeks post op. Have you called your surgeon?

Soups weren't on my plan until full liquids. Soup isn't something to help with hydration. You need clear liquids for that. Flavored water, diluted juice, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello.

If you're dehydrated drink pedialyte! Helps a lot

I just had my husband go out and get popsicles. They worked better than anything else I've been trying and I actually feel a little full.

My full liquids start Thursday. But I think I just needed something other than clear liquids...

the first day after surgery i was on clear liquids. then for the next 2 weeks i was on clear and full liquids. i did tomato soup with unflavored Protein powder mixed in. after 2 weeks post op i was able to add in whatever i felt my body was ready for as long as i paid attention to signals and such.

It's so odd how the diet changes from dr to dr. My dr has me on clear liquids for the first 2 weeks. After that it's moist and mushy for 2 weeks. One thing I haven't been doing is any kind of Protein. So I need to get to the store to get something to add to clear liquids.

Yes The diets are all very different. Thursday I go to full liquids. Then next wk pureed, the following week soft foods Then finally the next wk is whatever I can tolerate. I've been very particular about following my surgeon's orders. I never wanted to deviate. I'm not one of those ppl who gets surgery Then ask when can I have pizza. I just had a few tsp of tomato soup with some Protein added in. It was a good change of pace. Then I went back to clears....

I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks, moved to puréed for another 2 weeks and then soft food diet now until 12 weeks out (I am currently at 9 weeks out).

I was able to do the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth already at the hospital the day after I was sleeved. It's available online. Just make sure your Water is less than 140 degrees or it lumps.

I also did a lot of sugar free Popsicles and Jello. This all counted toward my daily liquids.

The Pacific Bone broth has ... 9 grams of Protein per cup? My honey doctored some up by boiling a Parmesan rind in it; some with a little miso paste; and some with a little soy sauce. He then strained it all thoroughly and kept me me supplied with the thermoses of it the first week. I sipped on it like tea for fluids and protein throughout the day.

I also ate popsicles, Jello, and chamomile/peach/mint tea, but I think the broth did the most good. If nothing else, the warm was nice on my sleeve.

@@dccarite Make yourself some broth - it really helps to have something savory! I use boxed broth (chicken, Beef, Veggie) and boil carrots, celery, onions in it for an hour or so. I also add garlic powder, minced garlic, onion powder, minced onion, paprika, salt & pepper and celery salt. It's really good and will fit in with your plan. You can buy some of the boxed broths/stock that have some Protein as well.

Try infused Water, Powerade zero, sugar free popsicles, iced tea (decaf), hot tea (flavored) for hydration.

Hang in there!
