Does anyone know if strained beef veggie Soup is ok to have when I start full liquids? I don't know if it may be considered to acidic. It's not on my banned liquids list but it's not listed as an example on my approved liquids list.

it should be fine. Just be sure to weigh/measure it out.

Full liquids means no chunks at all. If you are straining everything out and just drinking the liquid, I'm pretty sure it qualifies.

I drank lots of strained beef veggie Soup. It was a nice change from chicken broth!

What do you mean by weigh/measure it out?

I plan on just drinking/eating the liquid, I just can't stomach chicken broth anymore.

I'm so tired of chicken broth, veggie soup is sounding like filet mignon.

Measure out your portions. 1/4 to 1/2 cup a meal on liquids. Or when you get to puree or solid foods keep it at 4 ozs max. Invest in a good digital food scale. ($20 to $30) It will help you alot. When you try to eye out your portions your old habits kick in. (Eyes bigger then your stomach)

Now and then when I am in a rush and do not weight my meals I always portion too much and feel it.

      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.
