Hey so I'm on day 3 doing the liquid diet but I tried some chicken broth n I couldn't stomach it bc it was nasty. Maybe bc I picked up the store brand instead of Swanson. Is it ok if I brought fat free or low sodium chicken noodle Soup n drain everything and drink that instead?

My doctor told me it was ok to do that..so that's what I did. I bought the Soup in a box and just drained the noodles out. It was definitely better than plan broth

I couldn't stomach straight broth either. I found low sodium bouillon cubes were much better!

I had my husband get wonton Soup from the Chinese restaurant and I just had the broth. My dr also said I could have any soup as long as I put it in the blender. I did this to a Progresso soup and also thinned it out with Water.

I also thinned out some cream of wheat and thinned out SF pudding. I have been adding unflavored Protein to everything to make sure I am getting enough to heal.

Good luck!

Yes, just make the Soup like you normally would, but drain the noodles out. I used Campbells cup of soup chicken noodle

You dont have to just eat chicken broth. Do you like Tomato? V8 juice is good warm and all the other choices you have. jello' date=' Protein drinks etc...[/quote']

I been eating Jello and drinking the Protein Drinks but the doctor gave me a schedule on what I should drink every hour so I want to follow it to the best I can but the broth is making it hard.

How did you thin out the pudding?

I used unsweetened almond milk but you could use Water or skim milk. I did add some unflavored Protein as well.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
