Hey I'm on full liquids as well to control my calories I have made all my Soups. The one I'm drinking now has 35 cals per serving and 21 grams of Protein. All you need is a crock pot, also try V8 light warmed in the microwave 50 cals and add unjury chicken soup Protein powder thats 150 cals. with 21 grams of Protein. And as far as taste my husband ate a bowl of the creamy potatoe then told me it taste to good to be diet and he could not taste the Protein Powder at all. In regards to the yogurt it keeps getting stuck in my throat, so I've decided to try yogurt a little later in my journey I'm only 8 days post op.

Let me know if you want to try any of my high protein low cal. soup recipes I will be happy to share.

I didnt realize they had so many calories, but I wasn't able to eat a full can at a time either way so I guess that might be why I didn't stress when I was on the creamed Soups. I think I would eat maybe a can a day along with a couple yogurts at 2 weeks post op. I wouldn't worry about the carbs and fat unless you are getting a ton of food down, I think for the next couple of weeks your body may actually appreciate those things for some energy. Just my take on it. :)

I did actually split it between lunch and dinner, but i felt like i could have eaten the whole thing. but the yogurt got stuck and kept coming up on me and that was about 2 hrs after the Soup. :unsure:

I used the healthy request 98% reduced fat Soups, and mixed with chicken broth, or Water. I didn't even bother mixing with milk. I didn't eat more than 4oz(1/2 cup) per meal.

Did the yogurt have fruit in it? I noticed that any of the yogurts that had fruit, it seemed like they had this slimy sugary stuff that didn't go down all that well. That's why I went with greek yogurt mixed with different things to avoid the carbs, and the Chobani and Fage Greek yogurts were always smoother for me.

You just progresed a food stage so your body is still healing, it's going to take some time for it to get used to new consistencies in the food. It doesn't last forever with the sleeve. I never really slimed or productive burped with the sleeve like I did with my band once the residual swelling went down.

Hi vickie,

As far as the yogurt, our bodies will pick things out that we're not quite ready for yet. If it's making you regurg, you should just not eat it and go back to it at a later time. You're still healing and its better to wait it out rather than to keep trying to force it.

I never ate any of the cream Soups to be honest. I didn't like what was in them so I never ate them. You don't have to eat it. I pretty much just prolonged my clears stage and drank the full versions of the Protein shakes during that stage.

Try taking smaller spoonfuls in and wait awhile between sips. Take it easy, its a learning curve. I personally have not had many issues with my sleeve as in comparison to my band. I'm STILL learning too... be patient with yourself - please let us know how you do from here.

Try Lipton cream of chicken Soup. Very low carbs/fat. I also ate Greek yogurt mixed with sugar free flavored syrups. The fruit would have been too much and regular yogurt has way too many carbs.

      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.
