Personally I havent tried that yet and like everything else you should ask your doc . But I would think that after it is strained it would be in liquid phase however there are some egg drop soups where the consistency after you strain it could still be a little thick hmmmmmmm. My other thing with egg drop soup is make sure its not a super salty kind cause you know how chinese can be salty the last thing you want in bloating on top of recover lol thats just my opinion because I would love to have some hot and sour soup!!!!!!!!Your get it if you know its thin enough and mix part Water that could work.

I had surgery 5 days ago and hadnt eaten 2 weeks prior besides for the liquid diet and I am just feeling sooo hungry . The broth and jello are just not cutting it lol and this is miserable. How is everyone else doing with this?????

Thanx so much I am definetly going to try that out!! You all are so helpful on this sites its really what it keeping me sane through this healing process!!!

ahhhhhh i feel the same way im going bonkers and I was a broth lover my whole , however now I feel as though I had enough for a liffetime!!!!!! I cant wait to read peoples responses to you lol cuz im hoping the doc tells me wed when i see him ,,,,Goooood Luck!!!

wow at least you have cottage cheese in that mix a little substance I didnt think that was until your 3rd week out. I have doc on wed and I will be 8 days post op and im hoping to just get put on pureed foods like more substance Soups , mashed potatoes , yogurt ya know. Gosh i can imagine the bbq killin you they were cooking here to and it was hard but i love to cook so i miss being part of that ya know hmmmm but then i ate darn Jello cup tonight and i did get really full so maybe some of that hunger hormone was left in my body but they took some out...cuz if we were realllllyyyy hungry im sure we woulda caved or somethin lol i dont know but keep me posted. Im most aggitated i think from being stuck in the house cuz of this darn drain.

I am 5 days post op and I have to say I feel a little better , but certainly not great. But I definetly think you need more then a week for the simple reason that I still have a drain in till Wed. That means im wearing this for longer then a week. And maybe your different but even if I just had a desk job I cant even wear more then sweats and a loose top because there is a drain hanging out of my stomache. Sorry to be so blunt I just feel like if you rush your recovery it may take longer , But if you have any other questions just ask, GoooD Luck on your journey!!!

PhewWWW glad to hear you are okay!!!

Thanx for your response now I know I am not the only one!! I have to doc on wed. to remove my drain so hopefullly then I can start the other pureed foods at least something different. And weird bc tonight for the first time I just had a Jello and was like wow I feel full sooooo who knows maybe there was still some hormone left in the body and they took out the rest cuz now I dont have that feeling of wanting reaLLLLL food lol. Oh no im so sorry you have a fever also that cant be good. I was taking my carafate and prilosec which are a must and the grossssss tylenol as needed i hadnt needed the nausau or insomnia stuff. Gooood Luck and we will keep in touch!!!!

HEy I was just wondering how you got your weight loss ticker onto your blog?

Sorry I forgot to say good luck!!!! We will all be here when you get out of the hospital to support you!

Well good luck its definetly a big decision. Thank you for your input !! I take prevacid in the mornings and im constantly drinking I always have a drink right next to me,. I t may just be a mind game cuz i havent eaten in a while. And I was telling chatty that it also makes it hard not leaving house cuz i still have a drain in and im not a huge tv fan so im bored. Where as the two weeks before i was super busy w my baby !!!
