God Im over soup & yogurt already & only 2 days home! help

Hi,
Yep we all go through it but honest it goes fast LOL
I fell in love with Tuna Mornay on my mushy stage because I could make it as thin as I like and didn't have to vitamize it. Great source of protein as well.
Hugs Gail

Thank you all so much for the polite kick up the arse & telling me to stop being a sooky lala!

Im just having a bit of a flat day & cant believe that all I can think of at the moment is food, food, food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im never normally so obsessed with food- God, it goes to show pre-sleeve just how much of a hold food had on me

Hi Vogue,

The liquid stage will be over before you know it, even though it doesn't seem like that now. I think I was really sick of sweet foods. There are lots of sweet stuff like yoghurt, custard, ice blocks etc but not a lot of savory things other than soup.

So toughen up princess (in the nicest possible voice) and stop sooking. You'll be eating toast soon enough.

Hiya...yeah it does seem to suck but as the other girls have said its only a short time...before you know it you will be chomping down on a huge steak....lol

Things I tried in the mushie stage...hmmmmm There was those little nestle mousse's, custard, ice blocks, cruskits towards the later stages of the mushies with curried egg

I would be a bit scared to try pasta or anything heavy...remember the hurt...lol

I was on soup and yoghurt for 4 weeks post-op

I was over it by half way through the fourth week, gave in and started on my soft drink 4 days early. I had no problems with the mushie stage.

Hang in there, and remember its only for a short while.

Hey, Vogue
Yep, we've all had to go through it, and it's not pleasant, but it's only for a little while and then you'll be doing okay.
For the texture, I recommend chomping on ice blocks - you get the crunch factor as well as the liquid in, and you can put it back in the freezer in between bites.
Probably not a good idea to go for the noodles yet, though.
And I think you're just going to grin and bear it for the mushy stage - another necessity and something you knew you'd have to do.
Good luck!

It is hard - but keep it up!!! Remember most of us had a week or two off work, so we had yummy food in our faces too. The time does pass quickly (well from this side it seems like it passed quickly - LOL - probably not the case from your side).

Just remember - "This too will pass".

Thanks Caz, can I have maybe a chicken noodle soup in a cup or do you have to stay off anything other than liquid stuff?

I do tend to have a huge problem with vitamised food, it reminds me of old people in a nursing home- dumb I know but I have a real block around blending bolognaise & stuff into a liquid

Doesnt this sound pathetic but Im already so over bloody soup & yogurt! I think it doesnt help that I work from home so I walk past the kitchen allday so food seems to be in my face.. Im not overly hunger to be honest but Im misssing nice tastes and probably in particular texture..

I guess you just have to go through it but It seems so weird that apart from I know I get fuller much quicker I dont feel like my stomach needs liquids... The brain works in mysterious ways.
Hurry along 2 weeks- I look forward to mashed potato at least ..

If any one has any suggestions Id love to hear them?
