First 1-2 week foods ideas post surgery

[Scorpio1978 2]

Hello everyone, just joined this group and am excited! I just had my sleeve surgery 8/29 and I feel starved. I drink 3 Protein Shakes a day and drink a lot of Water. My recommended foods said blenderized lentil, pea or butternut squash Soup. I fee like that will make me even more gassy. Any recommendations that worked for others?

I did split pea, butternut squash and Tomato bisque. I did have to blend it however.

i also made a vegetable Soup. Bone Broth base, then steamed some carrots and tomatoes and put it in my blendtec blender on soup mode.

I think the Premier Protein shakes & yogurt gave me crazy gas too! Hopefully I will be able to eat/drink later : ( I do have butternut squash I will try shortly.

I mostly did Protein Drinks, watered yogurt down with Fairlife Milk and used different flavors to add punch to it. I did some butternut squash Soup, some Tomato Soup (too acidy for me at first), and a ton of broth and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom Soups. I also did won ton soup without the noodles--just broth from a Chinese food place.

I'd mix in Protein (unflavored) into all my soups while it was cold then gently heated it to no more than 140 cuz I didn't like when the protein clumped when it got too hot.

I did not do well with the bean soups/pea soups. Gassy but also carby and that made me hungry.

Then SF popsicles and sf Jello.

Oh and I did a ton of Decaf coffee with my protein drinks in it as both hot and cold (iced) lattes and blended frappacinos.

Yuck I could not even look at another Protein Shake post op because I had so many pre-op leading to my surgery. Not that its not good for you of course do not get me wrong! I know it is highly recommended but if you can stomach it good luck because I could not!! I just had a lot of sugar free Jello and Tomato Soup. Pretty much all liquid based. I really could not even eat all of that I would get full so quickly. My first month food was pretty much non existent to me. I don't think I could look at sugar free jello ever the same way again
