hey there and welcome!!..

I got through my first two weeks by making different Soups and just drinking the broths... I made french onion Soup, chicken broth (and changed the herbs, one day with ginger, another with cilantro etc)..

It doesn't have to be boring!!..

I have also been having Jello, frozen fruit juice popcicles, beef broth, chicken broth, vegetable broth. I have also been having a bit of cream style Soups (since there is such variety) but I Water it WAY down to a broth type consistancy.

Vegetable juice is good as well. You could make a Virgin Bloody Mary.

You could also take pudding and add more milk and thin it down as well. You can get a variety of flavors that way as well.

I am six days post-op and have been watering the heck out of everything.

Today I made SF cheesecake pudding. I added extra milk and a little cherry juice to it. Was very thin but taked just like cherry cheesecake.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth so SF treats or protien drinks weren't/aren't in my diet. I lived off a lot of broth! I did make some SF Jello for the clear liquid stage. It's been in my fridge for a month now lol. Think I''ll toss that.

Trader Joe's makes some decent pureed Soups in the box. Campbells V-8 soups aren't bad either. I try to stick to low sodium and just use a salt substitute if it needs a kick though.

I don't know if it counts for liquid but I've read of people watering down mashed potatoes.

I'm not much of a cook I guess you can tell. :rolleyes:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
