Thank Heaven for Potato Soup



Recommended Posts

Well today was supposed to be my last day of Clear Liquids, and I had done well until yesterday when I started feeling shaky and dizzy. I can handle a rumbly tummy while I heal but that body hunger feeling is horrible. Today it was 10 times worse, shaking, sweating, spots in my vision etc. and I called my doctor for permission to move on to full liquids a day early. Took him a while to call back and it's a good thing he said that was fine cause I did it without waiting. I put some cheesy potato Soup in the blender and I tell you it's the best thing I've ever tasted. I felt better within a few tiny bites and it went down just fine. My whole outlook is different now, amazing what a little potato soup can do! Now if that stupid scale would just move. I'm still swollen from the surgery, my belly looks like a blown up whoopee cushion, once that's gone I bet I'll be down 7 or 8 pounds though. Pain is much more managable the last couple days too, still very sore but I haven't needed the Vicodin since Saturday morning. After one more week on full liquids and mushies I'll be able to start adding real food and then we'll see how this really goes!

I found a splitpea Soup that was already blended, and it was heaven, still on liquids, but did not feel that was cheating as it had no chunks and it went down just fine...and yummy...

Same experience for me... I am 5 days post op on clear liquids and last night I got my first tru hunger feelings back... I needed something and ran out to get Miso Soup. It was amazing... no problem getting it down and no stomach ache... Can't wait until the mushies this Saturday....

man u guys are lucky, i am supposed to go 3 weeks on this broth and liquid diet, but i just can not keep to it, i am so bored with the plain jane broths, so i've started add in mushy stuff and other things and just testing the waters...cus 3 weeks no way that is too long to do, so i am a cheater:blushing:...i mush up corn chips like 2 or 3 in my broth and let em soak it up then add more broth...makes me fuller...i think i will get more of the split pea Soup and look for some miso...otherwise after being on it since the 10th i was getting the spins and blahs even with the Protein drinks and Jello cups...:thumbup:

anyone else like that? and what kind of potato soup was the popular?

I do go to their website from time to time, but not as often as this one.

Yes, Dr. Jessee is wonderful. I am seeing her now at the new Tampa location. She's giving me a new lease on life!

No a single drop fell here...at least I never saw one. We were pretty nervous...this would have been our first hurricane as we just moved here in October.

today was my first day on full liquids and I ate the Campbells Select Tomato Parmesan Bisque, its to die for so freaking good. I will choose it over regular Tomato Soup any day now.

I just bought some of that yesterday, can't wait to try it now :smile2:

I am glad you could eat the potato Soup. I love potato soup also. Sounds like it did the trick for you. Keep up the good work. I know that scale will show you some lower numbers once the swelling goes down.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to eat this but I am. I am having Taco Bell's Pintos and cheese which is refried Beans with cheese and taco sauce. It's is the perfect consistency and tastes delicious.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
