Are you on Clear Liquids or full liquids yet?

[Jessiegurl2686 104]

I'm on clear liquids till Friday.... But right now I'm having creamy chicken broth by Lipton ,has no chunks or anything just added 1/4 more Water so it wasn't too thick ...! I'm just tired of the fake fruity drinks and chicken ad beef broth!

Have you tried going to a Chinese restaurant and getting something like egg drop Soup? You can ask for mostly broth then when you get home strain it... It's more satisfying than canned type broths.

I am right there with you. I was sleeved on the 9th.my doctor said TWO weeks on clears but there is no way. I even have home made broth but with the two previous weeks its just ridiculous.

I just today realized that I am wanting something that isn't fruity or sweet. Something that just tasted like food w more consistency than Water.

No haven't gone out to a restaurant yet.... I just keep thinking 2 more days I can have yogurt... Peanut butter ...mashed bananas...and applesauce! I'm so excited lol! Who gets excited to eat applesauce lol VSG patients lol

Do you think it's head hunger, or real stomach hunger? I'm one week out today and I have stomach pains (kinda like a cramp) and I wonder if it's hunger. I just still don't feel good enough to even think about solids (even if it is real hunger). I don't even know if that makes sense....haha!

But really try a brothy Soup from a take out place and strain the bits out it does help

Oh it makes sense! And yes its probably head hunger the strongest hunger known to man kind!

but that doesn't make it easier. I know...

Right now your stomach is mangled so its best to keep to liquids. Good luck guys.

My instructions said I can start eating creamy Soups on Day 4

So I made some cream of mushroom just to try. I whipped it in my Blendtec before heating it up to be sure there was NO bits of anything. Then I added almond milk. I had 1/2 cup over an hour and felt almost relieved.

You could try taking one spoonful of greek yogurt and really swish it around in your mouth first.

Congrats!!

we were sleeved on the same day and I am down 12 lbs in five days.

I also get hungry...in the clear liquid stage I ate tons of fruit juice pops. They saved me! And when I moved to full liquids it was the fudge pops that saved me!

I think I recall reading somewhere when we eat yogurt it needs to be plain ??? Or can it be flavored I bought light Greek strawberry yogurt .... It dosnt say in my meal plans from the dr.

Yeah, most of us can have yogurt when we move to full liquid stage. And yes they (nuts and such) say plain yogurt, no fruits this early out. Plain Greek yogurt to me tastes just like sour cream (which I like) but I add some Splenda to it. A lot of people put the sf Torino syrups in it..

Greek yogurt is really good but thick definitely wait until you are at that stage and only take a little in. Even at 6 months out it fill me up quick!
