I posted this in the pre op diets but I am also posting this on here just in case I can get more answers

Ok today is my 3rd day of Pre op liquid diet, I am TRYING really hard to stay strong. It is hard when I have to cook Breakfast for my husband ( who does not cook ) Today I made chocolate chip pancakes and I had to suffered making them and the smell and stuff lol. Then my hubby brought some french bread from Sam's so I can fix him a sub from lunch. And to end the day because he is an Army Veteran,he got FREE food at Chili's I am constantly hungry and fighting not to cheat on this diet,sometimes I want to cry ,seriously . I am allow to eat cream Soups low fat strained,sugar free Jello, pudding and crystal light. Also natural no sugar added apple sauce and Protein Shakes low in sugar like EAS. I am so tired of eating these cream can soups I need recipes and ideas to make the soups homemade,anyone can help me with this? I googled Pre op soups recipes and I haven't find much info. I need help to keep going with this diet, I feel like giving up and I still have 12 long days more. Thank you in advance

I know it is hard. Maybe you could make him one big batch of pancakes and freeze the extras, then he could put them in the toaster himself? There is a Soup recipe section on this site, have you looked there? You do not want to cheat on this part of the diet. You are doing this to shrink your liver and make your surgery as uncomplicated as possible. I know this is an awful phase of the process, but you can do it!

Best wishes on your WLS journey.

I'm on the road now and can't access the recipe for a modified broccoli cheese Soup Sassygirl shared with me. Can you search for her name and send her a note. I found other good recipes on that website as well. Can't remember the name, sorry. Best of luck!!!!!
