Hey all ~

Today I start the full liquid stage and I have a question about the consistency. Should it be super runny such as the broth, or can it be thicker? I blended some oatmeal this morning and got it as "liquidy" as I could, but it was still a bit thick. I did the straw test and it worked, but it was sorta the consistency of a shake ... is this OK?

I think it needs to have the consistency of a creamy Soup or the first state baby food. Good Luck!

ey, y'all, I got this recipe off of the bouillon cube box. It's pretty fabulous! I made a couple of changes: shallots for onions, garam masala for just "curry", just stuff like that.

Enjoy!

Cream of pumpkin Curry Soup

3 Tbs butter

1 cup thinly sliced shallots

1 clove garlic pressed

1/2 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp garam masala

1/4 tsp ground coriander

1/8 tsp cayenne

3 cups Water

3 Maggi veggie bouillon cubes

15 oz can Libby's solid pack pumpkin

1 cup half-and-half

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic; cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in garam masala, salt, coriander, and cayenne; cook for 1 minute. Add Water and bouillon; brink to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and half-and-half; cook for 5 minutes.

Pour into food processor or blender container. Cover, blend until creamy. Serve warm, or reheat to desired temperature.:hungry:

PCracker---I don't know if it will help, but the goal for mushies, is to have heavier food, that does not require a lot of work for your healing stomach to digest. So anything soft, and not requiring further breakdown in the stomach will work! If your stomach (mind) can handle a burrito put in the blender, then it will work!

What you do not want are foods that require full digestion efforts out of the stomach. So nothing fibrous yet. Mashed potatoes are one of the firsts for many, I loved Taco Bell refried beans!! And Wendy's chili....when I went to full diet, was an easy fast food while I was out and about. Many vegetables can be cooked, then pureed to make a mushie. When you are on full liquids, and mushies, you can add Peanut Butter (creamy) to your shakes, and it is added Protein, which helps keep hunger at bay.

Picture in your mind, how they attached the lower stomach up to hold your band in place, and keep in mind that the stronger the scar tissue builds now, the healthier your band could be. So work and try to find good healthy mushies....even though it isn't always easy, and you might feel like you could eat something different, it is better to play it safe and fully heal, then move on to full foods. It really is worth it all!!!

Ola!

h-fan-- Make sure that you get the Slim Fast Low Carb. The regular and Optima are loaded with sugar. The low carb has 4 carbs, of which one is sugar, and 20g's of Protein. Also, the Optima and regular only have 10 g's of Protein.< /p>

Another few ideas on clear liquid--

juice out of canned veggies

cook ramen noodles, strain them, and eat the liquid

Hope this might help!

      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.
