As soon as I reach the soft food phase I don't think I ever want soup again. [emoji3] I am not a big sweets person so I didn't want to just drink protein shakes during the liquid phase. Now I am souped out!

Anyone else starting their third week?

I so relate! Now I am 6 months post and still don't want soup. Hang in there - you'll be eating real food soon.

yes, had surg june 9th, was advanced to soft at post op on the 21st. won't have soup for awhile. tolerating food well but just tiny amounts. chicken, hummus, chili, steak, cheese, all fine. also protein/parm crisps good too. because i can just eat tiny amounts, i do have to have protein drink to help meet protein goals. biggest challenge for me: not drinking for 30 min prior and 30-60 min post eating.

I think that will be a big challenge for me too. I am used to having a glass of water with meals. I have one more week until the puréed phase. My surgeon seems to take it really slow. It's not until my 6th week until I can have soft foods. I can't wait! [emoji12]

I eat soup twice a week. Love it! LOL. You really do get over these intial OVER IT feelings eventually. Except for protein shakes there's not much I push away because I just can't do it anymore. Maybe eggs. But I'll still eat them.
