For the full liquid phase, I discovered V8 made some really good Soups with no lumps. Potato Leek, Garden Tomato, and Butternut Squash were some I ate regularly. Of course, any cream Soup or broth with no lumps is fine.

As far as Protein shakes, I tried 3 or 4 store brands and couldn't find any I could stomach. I finally ordered unjury online and love them. I'm almost 9 months post op and still have one for Breakfast every morning.

Best wishes to you.

I made a batch of different veggie Soups with Beans etc added for Protein, spiced to my liking , blended and then froze them. I think I had V8 juice once or twice but didn't really like it. I also ate custard,yogurt,jelly etc

My doc let me do two shakes per day and a healthy choice or lean cusine for dinner. Not bad at all. I started early to get use to it and was able to survive. Good luck :)

I just made Soup yesterday and added cottage cheese to it (then blenderized) for added Protein. Yogurt, soup, pudding.........that is about it. I upped my milk consumption, low fat/sugar popsicles, fudgecicles............I do 1 Optifast per day just to get some calories and protein in me. Campbells gardenney has some good soups.......some need to be thrown in the blender just to smooth them up a bit (veggie.)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
