Eat something other than soup!

I'm on full liquids until Thursday, and my doctor has allowed me watered down grits and sugar free pudding/jello in addition to Soups. You can do it! Only a few more days!!! :(

I am eating pudding, yogurt, milk, Jello and popsicles, but I want something fulfilling. The Soup is just not cutting it. I feel like I'm hungry in an hour, and I have to hold off, because I feel like I am hungry too soon. I just don't like that hungry feeling.

*** side bar question: Why can't I see my tickler? It seems to only give the website, or is it just showing that from my end?

Maybe you need something thicker? I have been taking all those cream Soups (Cream of Mush, Cream of Broccoli, Cream of Chix, etc) and mixing two different flavors together with milk, and then blending them in the Magic Bullet to break up the chunks. Using less milk makes them thicker, and I find that satisfies me for longer.

You've made it this far, don't give up now!

No, it's showing just the web address. Go back to the ticker website, log in to see your ticker, and copy/paste the web address they give you under the heading "bbCode". Looks like you've copied the wrong one.

Don't get too scared, but you definitely need to prepare yourself. Once you get your band, you'll have at least a week of liquids only - this helps your stomach heal from surgery without doing too much digesting. Plus you'll be swollen and unable to eat as much anyways. I've seen some have as much as 3 weeks of liquids. :(

i really didn't get sick of Soups - but i have been sick a few times in the last year and each time i have DH get me a mango smoothie from the smoothie factory....

i'm sure you can make your own (can add a Protein shot in if you like).....your right Soup only goes so far, when i'm not feeling hot - i want fruit.< /p>

gets better & your right around the corner to the next phase of food.

Thanks, I think I got it.

I am realizing the first few phases of any process is hard, but I eat pretty healthy most of the time and I enjoy Soup. I didn't think that only having the cream without anything in it would bother me as much as it did. I just want some hardy soup. I will take some tuna salad, egg salad something that I can eat off a plate.

You got your ticker working!!! :tongue:

I hear you about wanting something hardy, something you can eat off a plate! I did a bad thing last night. It's the first time I cheated! My husband made his dinner - grilled chicken breast, black Beans, and yellow rice. And he put this chicken flavored seasoning on the rice and Beans, with a little bit of hot sauce - and I just couldn't resist. I took his fork and ate 3 small bites. :( I chewed like my life depended on it! Boy, was it good. Too good, actually. My husband said the beans really weren't that good, but I wanted real food so badly that they tasted like heaven on a fork, hahaha.

Now, I'm not suggesting you do this! After those 3 bites, on top of the 1/2 cup of cream of broccoli I'd just eaten - whoa. I took one big gulp of crystal light and I actually felt it stop at the bottom of my esophagus and slowly (we're talking about 15 seconds) work it's way down. My pouch was full! It was the coolest thing I've ever experienced, haha.

LOL! That is so funny. LOL! I can feel you on that. LOL! I can't stop laughing because I was talking to a friend of mines last night, well actually this morning. In the middle of our conversation, I said "hey, I feel like cheating! I think I want about 3 peanuts." She just busted out laughing. I knew it sounded crazy to her, but I was serious. I ended up eating the last of my egg drop Soup. I have never had soup as a midnight snack. Hey, I guess I am moving up.

I really want to cheat. This so so sad, but I need food, FOOD I TELL YA!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
