6 days post op, hungry....

[suziQvsg060916 5]

First time poster, I'm 6 days post op (6/9/16).... Plugging along with Clear liquids, SF Jello, SF Popsicles.. I'm feeling hungry, low energy started today. Saw my dr yesterday, 12 lbs down since surgery. Yay! Do you think a bite or two of cream of chicken Soup would hurt? Just something with a bit of consistency?.... Any advice is welcomed... Thanks in advance.

It's always best to follow your plan........what does your plan say? Mine allowed full liquids starting day 3 and full liquids included strained creamed Soups.

I'm on Clear Liquids for 7 days then changes to soft solids.. You're right, thanks.

I would just wait until you're able. You should be able to have broth in between, and Powerade zero. I feel your pain, day 8 of clear liquids as well.

Stick with the plan, you want something more than the liquids but Yall are doing great, and the weight will come off!

Are you not allowed Protein shakes at this stage? Can you at least add Protein powder to clear liquids?

I wouldn't go off plan.

It gets better... it was hard... but follow your plan... and Water is amazing. I used smart water it has electrolytes. Made my brain think I was doing something. Lol. I also made homemade Soups for my family and ate the broth. My food is better than the packages. Lol

I was able to have cream Soups if I strained the little bits of chicken or veggies out.

I don't think cream of chicken Soup would physically hurt your digestive tract (though I am not a medical expert). I *do* think that deciding you don't really need to follow your bariatric team's instructions and that you'll do what you please in order to satisfy cravings will set you down a road that will hurt your long term chance of success, despite this just starting out as a small step in the wrong direction.

Thanks for the support. I really appreciate everyone's advice.
