All, please provide me with any suggestions of Soups to eat. Tomorrow starts my full liquid and it states Healthy choice soups. Does anyone eat baby food like rice? Does anyone have indigestion?

Indigestion or gas pressure is normal right after surgery. It should go away in a week or so...Try gasX.

I know my dr let me do cream of wheat during my mushy phase but check with your dr to see if it is okay for you.I did alot of cream Soups once I got to mushy stage... I did campels Soup alot but took out the noodles during full liquids.

Good luck with the start of your weight loss journey. Welcome to band land!

I loved Tomato Soup & actually still eat a lot of it. The cream Soups are also good. If you like avacados & your doc says you can have them, they were what brought me from the edge of boredom with the mushies. LOL! I mashed them up with a little lemon juice & garlic powder!!

I had my surgery on thursday too.

I made some cabbage Soup, and blended it, I have been drinking chicken broth, Tomato Soup, and red peper Tomato soup. A friend made me homeaid split pea, i bleanded and added checken broth. I have fruit pops and Jello, and pudding. I find my self a bit hungry and am eating when i feel like eating.

I have to slow down, as I eat to fast and get heart burn.

I was also banded on Thurs. (9/8). At this point I'm feeling like a newborn baby, having to eat every few hours!! Watery oatmeal and watery cream of wheat has been my savior during the full liquid stage.

i think what got me through liquids / mushies was instant mashed potatos.. u can buy a pouch of them for like a buck and it lasts FOREVER. You just add Water to it.. lots of it It should be running off the spoon... but it gave me the full feeling

Healthy choice is a brand of soup.. could this be what they mean? they make many differnt kinds of soup.. just stay away from Tomato too much acid and you may get heartburn!!

The best things I enjoy are Jello sugarfree pudding (it's made with Splenda) and instant grits (yes, grits) made with skim milk and light butter with salt and pepper. These two things have been like manna from heaven to me. I was banded on Aug. 29, 2005, the day of Katrina. I have lost 21 pounds and have 122lbs. to go. Mederma 3x a day on the incisions works wonders!
