Can you eat th3 egg part in the egg drop Soup? ? If your on a full liquid diet

Sleeved on the 30th and had egg drop soup 4 days post op. I strained what egg off I could, but some tiny pieces still came through. Didn't give me any problems at all and tasted great! Thank god because I was over broth, had some cream of potato (strained the potato and made with skim milk). The best soup so far! Satisfied my mental hunger!

I have been sleeping on my right side with a pillow under my left side so that I'm sort of sleeping on my stomach, which is the only way I'm really comfortable. This however forces me to turn my head to face the opposite of the way I usually face and makes my neck and shoulder hurt a bit. I do this most of the night and sleep on my back the rest of the time. Can't wait til I can sleep normally!

I've been able to sleep on either side. Today, was the first day not tolerate a food item. My be I sipped to broth to fast. It came right back up after that I was fine. Does anyone have problems with smelling cooked food?

I think my sense of smell is much more alert. Even perfume smells seem stronger...sometimes make my stomach flip :(

My sense of smell has definitely become more sensitive but surprisingly the food doesn't appeal to me. Even all my favorites ..nothing still not hungry it's crazy. Had anyone experienced any severe headaches since surgery?? I have had 2 since and they are so severe waking me from my sleep.< /p>

My tastes are changing- my sugar free Popsicles are wayyy too sweet. I used to be teased for being part hummingbird because of my love of all things sweet. Not anymore!

      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.
