Day 1 Full Liquids

[Sleevin-in-secret 6]

Today i start my first day on full liquids.. so far so good,starting off right with my Premier Protein drink ice cold.. light cream of Tomato Soup for lunch.. this is going to be very hard for me does anyone have any homemade recipes or anything? The selection for light Soups is very limited.

My surgery is in exactly two weeks, i am getting nervous!!!!

I have always sworn by Trader Joe's cream of Tomato, cream of mushroom, carrot ginger, and butternut squash. They are affordable, filling, and low calorie. I also highly recommend them for when you are the full liquid stage of post-op. Best of luck! I don't know what your own surgeon's view is, and I didn't have a liquid stage pre-op, but if you feel you have to get a carb or two in, oatmeal was fine as a full liquid. For a higher Protein source, so was small curd cottage cheese. Good luck!

I am on day 3, but lucky you get soup!!!!!! I get Protein shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles, and Water. I did GREAT the first day, not so great the second half of the second day, and so far today I feel really good. My doctor says you start feeling a lot better on day 3 because ketosis kicks in.

My surgery is the 17th, close to your date~! This is the only step I have been nervous about. I was scared to be without food. It is not horrible like I thought, however, two weeks seems forever!!
