Hi ALL,

What's everyone drinking & eating? I had surgery on 6-7 & I'm struggling...

Thank you!

Hi sleeved on the 5th. I am eating greek yougurt, broth, and skimmed ff Soups. I havenot had luck with Protein Drinks this far. But have added Unjury into broth and yougurt and soups, and so far feeling much better. Once or twice a sf popcicle, and lots of gatorade2 sf!!

I was sleeved on the 7th as well! Besides the standard Protein Shake (which I've started to get fancy with - google "protein shake drinks" and you'll find some yummy creations to make in the blender!), I've had Cream of chicken Soup (added chicken soup Protein Powder to it), Cream of Wheat with sugar free Syrup added, Cheddar cheese soup (Campbell's) and just came home from the grocery store loaded with other Soups and bisques I'm ready to rock! As long as I strain chunks out of the soups, the doctor said I'm good to go (can't wait for the light loaded baked potato soup strained!). I've also had Yoplait Light, SF popsicles, etc.

Saw my doctor today for follow-up and he says I'm doing great, so all is well for my menu!

Thanks for the replies! Can you guys drink your liquids just fine?

I can! I was commenting to my doctor yesterday that I was almost scared at how well my liquids go down. I had consumed a full 24oz water bottle in the hour it took me to drive to the doctor. Thicker liquids (i.e. my Protein Shake creations) take longer (last night's double shake took nearly 4 hours), but I'm doing just fine with thin liquids. You?

I am drinking Protein Shakes, chocolate soy pudding, yogurt, and several different kinds of Soups. I was having a severe salt craving tonight so I made a cup of an awesome smooth potato leek Soup and added some extra salt to satify the craving very good. But I must say yogurt is my go to food behind the Protein shakes.< /p>
