Hi Saddie

I am also one that hates Soups. But ofter the surgery, I struggle with dehydration. So I learned to love Soup now. I do not like bland food so I would spice up the soup which really helped a lot. It also helped me with my dehydration too.

When you say Fluid stage, I am assuming you mean full liquids, which means you can have things that aren't clear.

My surgeon only allowed us to have things at that stage that could pass through a strainer. I love Soup so it was good for me.

As for something that would taste more like a meal, that is going to be hard. I had a friend that drained all the liquid out of Bean & Bacon soup and heated that up to drink. I did that as well and even added some HIckory Bacon flavored salt. It was ok but not ideal. I stuck more to yogurts, puddings, Jello and SF popsicles in addition to my Protein drinks.

      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.
