Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, I had my gallbladder removed two years back. The pain is better and my Doctor phoned in a mild pain reliever so between that, walking, and ice packs, I'm feeling much better! First fill Thursday, 11/21. Have enjoyed eating real food for a week and still losing weight. Hope the fill/adjustment doesn't throw me back to chicken broth

I had surgery 10/24 and am doing great except for the pain in my left shoulder. I have read where others are experiencing the same problem with a nerve that runs across the abdomen and up the left side. Have you found anything that helps relieve the pain?

My doctor said it is a nerve that runs across the abdomen and is somewhat affected by the surgery. It runs up the shoulder and can either ache when you're hungry or when you're full. Mine hurts when I get full. Can't remember the name of the nerve. Maybe someone here knows?

winkie, you look fabulous! Had surgery one week ago today. Thank you for the encouragement!

fee139: you inspire me. you are so active. One week today. A long way to go but feeling good and enjoying my Georgia buddies' encouragement.

pmcctchn: thank you for checking on me

Doing well. 1 week follow up today. Good report.

Bought some today. Will have for dinner :-)

Great new discovery for liquid diet. costco frozen onion soup! Microwave, strain = delicious!!

Although it has been tougher today, I've had decaf iced tea, chicken broth, Jello and potato broth (strained to make sure no lumps got in to broth). Thinking about going to my favorite Chinese restaurant tomorrow & purchasing hot & sour Soup. Will strain it but thinking it might give me a little taste variety. Has anyone tried this?

MiniMi, this was helpful to read. Worked too hard to get to this point to not adhere to the liquid diet. Thanks for the motivation.

These are so helpful. 5-days post-op. Thank you for the suggestions!

How was it moving to creamed soups?

Thank you. It gets a little better each day. What did you eat the first two weeks?
