@amiekinsRN. You and i are surgery twins. I think the pain is pretty manageable as well. This experience was much better than i anticipated. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Fluids and Proteins are going to be interesting for me as well. I feel full after Water.

Plain Water for me is horrible now I drink my Protein water way more tolerable

Thanks @JoshM and all the other bariatric partners for telling me about the bone in broth. I bought two kinds. I'm going to try one tonight

Nice

Once u get to Soup stage if u make your own Soups like I do , you can use that also

[josh m 57]

I think the hardest thing for me right now is no liquid for 30 minutes after eating . Man if u drink something while eating the pain in your belly is brutal

[Yvonne47 86]

Yep when they say wait at least 20 minutes they was right

You guys know u can get a variety of Soups from the bariatric store on this site they have cream if chicken cream of tomatoe cream of mushroom the thing about it its not your average cream Soup its very watered down so its fine to go towards your liquid and Protein intake. They have 15gms of protein. That's wat I've been eating or drinking lol and haven't had any problems. It gives you a variety instead of the basic chicken broth.

Do you find the Soups to be grainy? I tried the cream of Tomato today and it was like drinking very fine sand. If you don’t- any secrets to preparing it? Thanks!

Well I use 8 oz of Water oppose to the 6 oz and make sure it's very hot water and you have to stir it for a while to make sure the powder fully dissolves mine wasn't grainy at all.

Thanks. I’ll try it again. I used 8 oz of boiling water and whisked it. Maybe the water was too hot? I’ll try hot but not boiling water.

I’m trying to not repeat the same drinks in a day, so the more variety I can have the better.

I'm so over these liquids hopefully my Dr clears me for puree on Tuesday 😬
