2 weeks out- Sopas and pasta



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if I am still on mushy foods for the next 2 weeks, would it be ok to blend up Pasta Soup? Like fideo?

I think most folks are on liquids for 3 weeks - then they are advanced to soft squishy foods. If you are on mushy food already - that is very fast progression.

I was on Clear Liquids for the 1st week, full liquids 2nd week, and puree the 3rd. I guess the food stages and speed through each one is different per doctor. When I was in the mushy stage, they said anything I could blend up with no chunks was okay.

But to be safe, if I were you, I'd call the doctor or nutritionist just to be sure.

Best to ask your nutritionist or doctor.. I have not had Pasta yet (3 months out)

But most people here say pasta is really hard to digest after the sleeve in the early stages.

Do they taste like Pasta? Is the texture similar? I read about those when my husband wanted to try the paleo diet.

They taste like Pasta. I make a low fat phad Thai and a mock Alfredo with chicken & broccoli . They are mushier than I would've ever ate pasta and they require a few steps that you must do to get rid of the smell. You have to rinse in gold Water for 5 min then dry with paper towel, then dry roast in non stick pan (some people use a microwave for this step) then add into what you are making. It's less time than waiting for water to boil but I won't lie the 1st time I smelled them out of the bag was nasty. Now I turn my head while I rinse.

      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.
