Soups

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

This is a good question!

I've been wondering about this.

Since we're not supposed to drink with our meals bc it'll wash the food out, causing us to eat more, wouldn't the same thing happen with puréed Soups and Protein shakes?

Protein Shakes wouldn't cause you to feel full?

liquids do not wash food out of your stomach, they actually fill you up, therefore you are unable to eat as much at that particular setting. So, the less food you are able to eat, the less nutrients you absorb.

That's not true for sleeve patients. It's one of the main reasons why we have to separate eating and drinking in the early stages.

What is a good unflavored Protein Powder?

There are several; Isopure, GENEPRO, Syntrax nectar (I think) and Unury to name just a few. I personally like Isopure, but taste buds and palates vary.

I was told liquids wash food out and to never drink while eating..

Interesting that your reaction to liquids is different.

So yore saying that it doesn't was out, but takes up the room of nutrient rich food

Yes, which applies to sleeve and bypass and when you think about it, it only makes sense. If you have for example a 4 ounce stomach and you drink three ounces of Water, that leaves one ounce of room for nutrient rich food and then your full. Water does not just run through your system, sure it does not have to be digested like food, but it don't just disapear in a matter of minutes, so it takes up room.

I am almost 4 years out and to this day, and I keep trying, I cannot eat Soup without it coming back up. I think I've finally given up on soup. No matter how thick I make it, I can't keep it down ????

Try turkey chili with a mix of different brand for Proteins. They have a few great recipes on YouTube
