I'm on the full liquid diet now; I have been eating Soups, but I just realized my list said no Beans.. & I've been eating taco Soup. I'm terrified with every drink& every bite I'm going to mess up my sleeve / stretch it out..

Any advice on that ? I have my nutrition visit next Tuesday but I'm just curious as to what anyone thinks.. how much should I be eating ? Will me eating Beans effect anything that much ? post-308447-14842799622102_thumb.jpg

If you stopped eating Beans and you feel nothing out of the ordinary, good, you've probably done no damage. The language of your message, however, indicates that you're still eating them. Your gut is in your hands.

Not just bites of beans.. I just mean in general , when I eat anything or drink anything. I'm not eating Beans anymore since I just seen I'm supposed to avoid them rn.. strange thing is it doesn't hurt my stomach or bother me so that's what worries me.

Did you blend & strain the Soup?

I didn't blend, no. Wouldnt that just make it chunkier?

On full liquids, you should only be having strained cream Soups and broths. Some docs allow sugar free pudding, fudge pops and cottage cheese. Mine did. I still mainly drank shakes.

I drink about 2/3 Protein shakes a day; the boost kind; & then one serving a Soup.

2/3 as in 2 or 3. Not 2/3rds.

You seem to be missing the point that you are on liquids- the stuff in the soup: Beans, onions, etc. are solids. broth, creams, and other liquids are all that is allowed on full liquids. Either strain the Soup (remove all solids) or purée it so that the solids liquify.

@@brennafaith -- "I didn't blend, no. Wouldnt that just make it chunkier?"

Brenna, I think it would be in your best interest to speak with the RD or NP or similar at your surgery practice. Pronto. You're working in the dark with such confusions that to continue on your own or wade through responses here in BP probably won't help that much. I say this only because I know first-hand and from speaking with people in the seven years since my surgery that, in the early days, so much info and so many instructions are thrown at us that confusion (even about things a person has always known) is common. That you're thrown at the mention of blender is a clue. Please make the call and let the RD know exactly what you've been doing and what you've done and stopped doing. You'll get clarity and peace of mind. Take a deep breath, too. Please. You'll be fine. That's a promise.

      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!!
