It was my staple. Make sure you avoid any big Egg Clumps - you may want to strain it (which is what I did). It had so much flavor. By the third day into post-op liquids I wanted something flavorful. Egg Drop Soup was my savior.

Great question, and Leslie, thanks for the advice. I am not banded but saw this post and had to read it...I love egg drop! And surprisingly, I can make it myself and it's not so bad!

Does anyone know a good way to add the egg so the clumps aren't as big when you make it yourself? :cursing:

I am three months post op and it is funny you should mention it. I am eating some now. It still remains one of my favorite meals.

Don't get your broth TOO hot (not a rolling boil) and beat it like crazy with a fork as you add the beaten egg to the hot broth. You'll get minimal clumps. I lived on this in the beginning. You can use all manner of different flavored broths as well.

The wonton Soup is fine as well...just don't eat the wontons (Chinese). The Japanese chicken broth Soup is fine. Strain it though - it usually has chives and mushrooms.

I sent DH out to get Chinese some nights. He had the food and I drank the soup. I had the Japanese broth when we went out to eat about a week post-op...it was really good too.

After two days on broth, I was gagging. I survived by straining canned Soups, pea, lentil, chowder, stews and egg drop. It was fine, I wouldn't have made it otherwise.

Did egg drop Soup also, probably 3 days after surgery. Before that I didn't really want anything to eat/drink.

I still have it on the "after-fill" days.

I had egg drop Soup A LOT during my first week post-surgery all-liquid diet. I tried it from 3 different restaurants. It saved me during that time, but now even the thought of it makes me gag! Too much of a good thing I suppose.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
