The past 2 days I've been able get less than half of my Water and Protein intake. I'm drinking an Isopure drink today and that is 20oz of Fluid and 40g of protein. So all I'll need to do is get 30g more from food...which I doubt I'll be able to get but I'm trying my hardest. I had some spaghetti sauce yesterday when my family ate, Only about 4 spoon dips but it definitely helped me drive home that I will be able to eat real food again!

You might not feel your limit with Full liquids. I know that I just downed a Campbell's Soup at Hand in less than 10 minutes. And I know that its only because its as smooth as Water. I wouldn't worry too much about not feeling your limit with them honestly. If its allowed on your plan by your doctor I'd try some cream of wheat. I ate some of that at lunch and honestly, I have about 1/4 of a cup if that and I totally felt full into my throat even.

I'd say that as long as you can get your water/protein intake in, you should be celebrating

I was sleeved on the 6th and I'm on liquid only for 2weeks

I am too scared to cheat and I'm struggling getting all my Protein in because I'm so full. I can no longer tolerate flavored Water so crystal light (room temp) and warm tea have been saving me. I'm hitting the gym tomorrow for some light cardio. I'm going crazy staying home. My baby is at daycare all day and I still have 2 more weeks off work.

My brother is getting married this weekend so the challenge is going to be seeing the amazing platters and turning away LOL

My dad offered to make some amazing Soup for me that he will strain. I crave and miss seasoning

The regular broth gives me nausea. Other than that I am happy to feel restriction from liquids, I just miss being able to chew. The 19th I can start mushies. Can't wait! !! Good luck to u hope your journey stays smooth!

I do know one thing...

I’ll never eat Hunt’s snack Pack sugar-free Gelatin Snacks EVER again.

It’s so hard to describe these things! They are not even soft at all. And they taste groooooooossssss.

And they have a skin! Not like pudding skin, but there is clearly an outer layer tougher than the Gelatin underneath.

I left the rest of them in the fridge at work and wrote on the top of them “Free Jello, NO JOKE”.

Well, it’s been two weeks and they are still in the fridge at work. Looks like there is a joke after all, and it’s on me.

From now on it’s Jell-O for me as far as gelatin goes!
