I had my gastric bypass surgery this past May 16th and have a question about eating Soup. So we're not supposed to drink any liquids 30 minutes before a meal or 30 minutes after our meal, or during our meals. So what do we do when eating soup? I had chicken vegetable soup for dinner tonight and was just wondering what is the correct protocol, we are supposed to eat soup? Eat the solids and broth separately 30 minutes after consuming one or the other? I didn't do this, of course, I just ate the soup the way I have been for the past 50 years with no problems at all. I was just curious about what the "correct" way is for us WLS patients.

I eat my Soup as usual (the “normal way”) and then wait for 30 minutes to drink anything.

Agree

This. :)

(I don't wait 30 minutes before a meal though--I used to wait 15mins.) But my RD said as long as you don't have restriction with liquids and it goes out of your tum super quick, then you can drink right up to the point of eating. I do wait 30-45 mins after eating though.

Thank you! That clears things up! [emoji847]

I had the same question about cereal! 😃

@Starflower

This was one of my "early on" questions for my NUT.

i luvvvvv cereal!! (high in carbs, i know!)🤔

When she explained that i shouldn't/can't ever eat/drink at same time...

she answered to Cereal, i could use a littttle bit of milk on top of the cereal,

not much. Still too dry for me. As the months progressed, i did use more

milk - oh well - slap me if you dare!!🤣

good luck

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
