I make thinned mash potatos with a little bit of butter. I use all of the liquid and only half of the instant potatos required. It is like potato Soup but it feels a little thicker. It has been helping me get through this liquid stage. I use all skim milk instead of any Water.< /p>

If you have a Trader Joe's near you...try the Tomato and red pepper Soup (not spicy-sweet) and a big spoonful of low fat ricotta cheese in it....yummy!

I have about 8 days left too. I'm not allowed riccotta or cottage cheese yet though. This helped me to mix it up a little: I made a variation of Cauliflower Soup. I boiled a head of cauliflower, put it in a strainer to drain. In the hot pot I added 1 Tablespoon olive oil and about 1 Tablespoon dehydrated onion. You can use fresh if you want, I just happen to have the dehydrated on hand. I added 2 cups skim milk, then poured in about 1/2 cup skim milk with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with it. Brought it to a boil (that's when it thickens) added the Cauliflower back, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Then used a hand blender and completely liquified it. You can pour it in a blender if you don't have the hand held one. It was a nice change from chicken broth. Now if anyone can tell me when this gas pain in my shoulders will go away, that would give me a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hmmm! That sounds tasty -- I'm going to try it! :thumbup:

OMG-- I thought it was just me ..

I am soooo sick of Soup, Jello and juice drinks. This morning . DH made a scrambled egg, then put it thru the food processor. I had 1 tablespoon of egg and it was pure heaven. I am drinking Protein shots, but it does not seem to be enough to keep me from getting the shakes.

This one ounce every 15 min is a major pain in the @$$. I think more about food now then I ever have.. Setting the little timer every 15 min is really wearing on my last nerve.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
