1st July Sleevers

I've discovered the joy of "cream of" Soups. I had a cream of cheddar cheese last night and a cream of chicken tonight. What a difference a little dairy makes in feeling more full!

My nut said two shakes and a lean n green meal. Wish I could have soups, I was suggested to have broth if needed.

July 1st too! Good to find a support group. Day 2 is winding down and I can only tolerate the 2 Protein Shakes, can't do the dinner:( been drinking Water and I was allowed diet soda...though I find it gross but different. July 1st...HURRY!

Day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet. Doc said cream of Soups not liquid so broth it is!!! I am down 6 lbs. my head was pounding last night. Maybe bc I needed to drink more Water. Tried the Pure Protein Shakes today and they are good. Next Sunday I will be puerto vallarta preparing for the VSG. Let's go!!!

Day 7 for me here and while I'm bored and would really like some Pasta, I'm chugging along. I made homemade cream of chicken Soup last night and it was a lovely treat. Too much sodium and fat for a regular meal but such a fabulous change of pace from blah and bland.

Day 4 of pre op diet almost done! I'm so bored of 5 shakes a day, sugar free Jello and broth! July 1st can't come soon enough! Is anyone else having food dreams?

Anyone else having mood swings and stomach pain? I want to just sleep the next week away:(

Yes I am experiencing mood swings and I just try to keep myself at a safe distance to people. Unfortunately in my line of work I am in direct contact to people so I just hold my tongue the best I can. Once I am on break I go into our Quiet Room to meditate and relax by reminding myself this will pass and feel a whole lot better.

Anyone have a grocery list for their two week post op? So worried of buying too much when I may need so little.

Yes to the mood swings. Not fun! We hosted a World Cup party today and in spite of all of the delicious food in the house, I did not cheat even one little bit! A dear friend made me homemade broth for the party and it was delicious!

Also, today was a lot easier than the previous days (mood swings not withstanding), so hopefully I've turned a corner. Jury duty tomorrow-ugh!

Let's see...if I'd bought everything at once I would have needed 14 cups of yogurt, 14 sugar-free jellos, 7 low-fat cream of chicken Soups (which I dilute and strain), 14 packets of sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 4 1/2 gallon cartons of Mootopia skim milk and, of course, good old Protein powder for my shakes. I think that's it. Of course, we'll be eating the same stuff post-op, so it will not go to waste if you get extra. Good luck!

Thank you so much I needed an idea.

Hi Everyone, im also having my surgery on the 1st July. Very excited. Im almost a week into my pre-op diet and im suprisingly doing pretty well. At work people are having bbqs making cakes etc and trying to give it all to me, bit annoying when they all know i cant eat any of it. I usually have a shake in the morning, a opti fast bar or mousse for dinner then cup of Soup for dinner. I founf the opti fast soup yuk!!
