Day 14 and they started me on soft foods today for next 2.5 months.

I've been okay with skim milk. I tried in one of my soups and had no issue. But I haven't tried a cold drink of it yet. Old times I'd like to have it with my breakfast, but I am sticking to the plan no drink +/-30min around meals. So I'm hesitant to try since I'm not really craving it either. Tried a soft scramble egg for first time today. Super good to have something of texture and no discomfort. Nervous to try a soft boiled yet. If I do, I may just try the egg white part.

How many days since your surgery? I'm about to finish week 2, and I know I don't have a puree stage either. I'm curious when you got out of the liquid protein stage.

I tried this one today, and it was EXCELLENT. Drank half, then the other half ~30min later. It tasted just like it said....and I'm not overwhelmed by any over sweetness.

I'm 9 days out, and on the liquid diet. I am able to have an entire small can of Campbells healthy request tomato soup in one sitting. Adding one soup can of water and heat it up. I pour it into a large coffee cup and sip it down in 20-30min. No stomach distention. It seems odd, but could any of you stomach that much liquid?

I'm taking antacid Omeprazole 2x day for the first month out.

Funny you mention that! My first soup tried was cream of mushroom. I do pick the Healthy Request cans. Like a dodo I missed the add 1can water on the label. While eating it, I was shocked how rich and flavorful it was haha. Lesson learned....Campbells not the same as Progresso where it's ready to heat n serve. Now THAT ONE had me lightheaded for hours! NEVER AGAIN!

I had the sleeve. Thanks for the great feedback. I will surely discuss with my dietitian too. I need to remember the 3 meals per day plan and not do this as a "snack". That's where the triple zero greek yogurt supplements my protein. I just don't wanna bust a leak. I do sip it down over 20-30min, but if I'm just forcing undigested soup into my intestines by having more than 8oz that's good to know also.

They want me starting at 4oz, and keep trying to get to 8oz over the next week. When I made my first can, I expected to sip down until I felt stomach distension. Never got a signal, so I slowly sip and spoon it down.
