I had my surgery on Wednesday. I've been home since Friday. I am not consuming much - focusing on staying hydrated (per Dr) and sipping 2-4 oz of fluid an hour.

Yesterday I had a Premier Protein shake for Bfast & Lunch (split it), a popsicle and 1/4 cup of cream of chicken soup. I also had water/crystal light.

Today seems to be Oh Yeah Protein shake split between bfast & lunch, popsicle and I am going to try 1/2 cup cream of chicken soup

Five days post OP I could only have clear liquids to include broth, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles etc.

5 days post op I was on full liquids. For my plan that meant 4 shakes a day and if I needed it, two snacks which could be things like cream soup or applesauce. I was in this phase from day 3 post op until two weeks post op and then I graduated to pureed foods.

Well, I was on full liquids. So stuff like protein shakes (I was using Atkins at that point), yogurt, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles... I think that was about it.

Liquids only here. I was drinking Unjury Chocolate Spendor, sugar free popsicles, broth - that about covers it.

I'm on full liquids - I am just wondering if I am taking in enough. I can only handle about 4-6 oz per hour it seems.

Tomato soup was my biggest friend on the full liquids diet, I did sugar free popsicles, sugar free, jello (black cherry and strawberry) sugar free pudding. Now I am about to go to soft food diet on the 23rd

I'm having my surgery on the 23rd. It looks like we are pretty similar in our goals and our starting weight.

yes that does look like we are similar in goal and starting weight I have PCOS and was Insulin resistant which was causing the weight gain no matter what i did i would gain it sucked. I will tell you it isn't a fast/quick fix at all and the diet can be a pain in the butt some days cause you really want something and you can't just yet. Like right now i want so badly to have an actual salad but gotta wait not sure if that would be under soft food diet or if I have to wait til Oct. 14th when i can go back to reg. food. I am here if you need to chat
