My doc wanted me to pick up all the food before my surgery that I would need for 2 weeks. I have a lot of clear liquid stuff. I'm having problems with "full liquids". I don't like cream Soups. Split pea is about the only Soup I eat. Any ideas?

well my doc didn't call any phase "full liquids" so i'm guessing as to what might fall into that category...but how about Protein cold drinks (that was considered clears), such as ProtiDiet concentrated drinks or Protein shakes? maybe ones made with Water instead of milk. for the first week i just had clears, then i went to mushes and on friday i'm going to soft solids...

as for Soups, try campbell's select line (butternut squash is awesome, creamy Tomato isn't too "creamy" so it's good, mushroom Soup, etc).

Okay, this is the FIFTH time I've read about the butternut squash! I read someone other than you saying it was good before I left work. I went to Kroger's and bought it. I'm trying it tomorrow!

A word of warning, if I don't like it, and heck, even if I do, I'm letting you know!:)

I loved the butternut squash!

But, I also tried to add cream of cheddar to other stuff. I would add it to cream of chicken. It was pretty good.

If you truly don't like cream Soups, I would definitely be creative with the Protein drinks. I love something called "skinny monkey". My docs ok'd it as a "full liquid". It is 8 oz skim milk, 1 scoop chocolate Protein powder (my favorite is Body Fortress whey Protein - you can buy it at Walmart - and it is inexpensive), 1 tablespoon of low fat Peanut Butter and a frozen banana. Put is all in a blender. I think it tastes yummy. If I were you, I'd try out some recipes prior to being banded, that way you can figure out what you like. Hope this helps!

I puree bean and bacon Soup, you can puree chicken and noodle also. Just have to strain in case it doesn't puree enough. My list has sugerfree pudding and yogurt. I've done the pudding but, not the yogurt. Also my list has mashed potatoes that are watered down with broth. It should be really thinned out. But, good if your sick of all the sweet stuff like me. Good Luck.

I was on Clear Liquids for a couple of days and then added Protein Shakes. During the clear liquid stage, I drank Isopure. Then when I could have other liquids I bought the chocolate whey powder at Walmart and mixed it with skim milk in the Bullet. This morning I added a little coffee to the shake. Tomorrow I am adding a banana. The Whey powder has a lot of Protein. It tastes so much better than Isopure.

My list for full liquids is: Skim milk, thinned cream of wheat or cream of rice made with skim milk, Tomato or V8 juice (no "Splash"), no sugar added carnation instant breakfasts made with double strength skim milk (double strength skim milk= 8 oz. Skim milk w/ 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder.)

Hope this helps

i was driving four days after surgery.. i also went to oatmeal and some soft foods earlier than some others .. i was worried that i went to soft foods too quickly. cottage cheese , oatmeal , and my favorite is Eddy's sugar free fruit bars.. it is the best for that sweet tooth.. but i must say that getting off of liquids and Proteins shakes has helped with the gas and indigestion.

I found the good old banana smoothie was great for breakfast. 1 cup of skim (0%) milk, half a banana and 1 tablespoon of honey, whip it up in the blender and it makes 2 glasses full, so enough for breakfast and for lunch! Sooooo filling and yum! 205 calories, 1g fat, 34g carb, 9g Protein.< /p>

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
