I just had my surgery on Thursday and I feel no pain just a little discomfort from the gas.. but I've been walking around in moving a lot to help it go away I was also wondering what else can you eat besides soup...

Jello, Popsicle, Gatorade, Crystal light ,You can make slushies out of them by putting them in the freezer for awhile. That's all I can think of right now. Congratulations and good luck. I'm guessing you in the clear liquid stage.

My Dr. gave me a bible... it has every day instructions.. what you can have.. from day 1 through 21.. My nutritionist also gave me some good ideas on Protein Drinks, different things like good crystal lite and Wyler's products.. etc. I would call them and ask. First week is the toughest.. It will get better

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
