I know it’s different but it worked. I had all those electrolytes in my system. The only problem was that I held a lot of fluids like 13 lbs of extra weight. It took three weeks to get rid of that

Thanks for the heads up on fluids I am not stepping on the scale until my two week check in. No need to disappoint myself.

Oh that sounds so good! Definitely going to try at my post my 3 weeks clearance. My Dr’s plan has me on liquid focus until then. I envy your meal plan🤭. Thanks for sharing....I cant wait for real flavor.

Pureeing Wendy's chili--great idea!

Has anyone else been told to avoid tomato-based foods? I have my eye on some Tomato Soup but I recall my paperwork saying something about avoiding tomatoes.

Avoiding tomatoes pre op, I’ve had lots of Tomato Soup post op and was allowed to introduce V8 on day 14

I was told to avoid them but I was eating some Tomato basil Soup. Slowly. Had no acid issues.

Thanks Dub and Britt. Day before yesterday I had the idea of making Tiziki. I had all of the ingredients except for mint (I make a Persian version that requires mint). 2% Fage yogurt, cucumber with no skin, lemon juice, salt, pepper. I put everything in the vita mix blender and blended the heck out of it. It was freaking delicious! 10 seconds after this I was doubled over in pain. So I’ve been scared any vegetables ever since. I may get brave and try a little sip of this. Hopefully things go smoothly!

Britt is this the Tomato basil Soup you tried?

[Dubchild 42]

I was told to get the campbells low sodium variety for all Soups

Ok thanks.

Yes this is it. It’s really good. Do you like it? There is a butternut squash one and roasted peppers Tomato. Both are pretty good. Especially since our menu is kind of boring. Always looking for something new. I have had issues with solid foods and seem to revert to Soups and smooth food.

I do drink carnation instant Breakfast with a big scoop of Protein. I get a lot of protein that way and it’s tasty.

I miss regular food. But I have been doing a taste rule. 3 spoons is a taste after that it’s eating. So I stay at about 3spoons per meal. I don’t want to really eat anymore.

[Everything 388]

I haven’t done the Carnation instant breakfast but yes I have every version of this sipping Soup. I started drinking them in the preop phase and they were helping me lose weight. They are delicious!

So far I haven’t had any cravings for anything fattening. Wine was a big vice for me. I can’t imagine drinking a glass of wine right now. My stomach is too sensitive!. I am missing stuff like sushi and shrimp tacos. I guess there are worse things to be craving.

You know you have to take it easy do the taste thing I haven’t eaten many veggies unless they are cooked. Do great with carrots and cooked to death green Beans. Potatoes work.
