I had it during liquid phase. Day before I graduated to soft foods at week 3. So I didn't strain it. Since you are only one week out I probably would.

Reminds me of day 2 in Bariatric hospital. For lunch they brought me a Soup that had little bits of meat and veggie in it. I asked the nurse if it should be strained since everything I read about post-op diet said it should be. She looked at it and said it's small enough and should be fine. I didn't eat but a few bites of the broth to be on the safe side.

I remember thinking... this is a bariatric hospital, and they should know better. LOL But maybe small pieces of food getting stuck in our yet unhealed stomach staples is just a myth too? IDK

The well strained broths from wonton Soup, pho, ramen, etc. are generally considered okay but do check with your team. It’s pretty hard to track the Protein content though so it may be best not to rely on them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
