I havent tried unjury chicken soup but I do have some unflavored one that I do use on occasion,  I find that I really like my choclate premier RTD in the AM  ,  and when I dont use that one I miss it...  I still am trying to incorporate more vegtables,  dont really have enough room to do that,  but i do try to eat one thing a day at least of veg or fruit along with my meat.   cheese I get allot of !! so happy I love cheese.  I did find just recently that its hard for me to tolerate spicy items   boooooooo I love love love spicy food and every time I try to eat it I get heart burn

Hi guys!

I'm over 5 weeks post op.  I'm drinking a protein shake every AM, and a protein bar at some point during the day to get in most of my protein.  Chicken is ok, if it's covered with sauce...otherwise forget it!  Same with ground meat (learned that the hard way)).  I can handle a little lunch meat and a little cheese--that's lunch most days.  Then 2 bites of whatever the family is having and I'm DONE.  No bread, no rice, none of that crap. 

It's funny to me how much my tastes have changed.  I really like my food much more bland then before.  I had to throw away garlic hummus because the flavor was too strong! (and hummus is a great go to protein for me, BTW).  Nothing to spicy or sour, or salty or anything strong.  I'm wondering if that is going to last. 

I'm not getting all my flluid in...I know that, but I'm working on it.  I feel so full so often that I just cant take another sip.  I dring a large G2 everyday, and something else, which gets me close to 60oz of fluid, so I'm not that bad off.  

Have you all tried unjury?  The chicken soup is a must when you are sick of cold/sweet drinks.  And I just get the powdered cheese sauce to add to veggies/potatoes...and it's quite good!

thanks amaire,  I see we have similair weights and goals even though we went a different route wiht surgery I think our journey will be similair.   I sent you a friend request
and I feel ya on the chili thng I eat that a few times a week...  I also eat what I call noodleless lasagna...  taste jsut like lasagna w/o the noodles

my  2nd day back to work a couple weeks ago ,  I totolly freaked out on my manager over something that should of made me mad but not make me act like a crazy person....     food dreams are startiing to subside now ,  but the food network I love it !!!! 

I'm a month out as well. On Moday, my surgeon cleared me to add new foods (carefully) as long as I avoid bread, so I'm skipping through the soft stage a bit. But while I was on purees for a couple of weeks, I did a lot of fat free refried beans with a little melted cheese and taco sauce, occasionally Wendy's chili (one makes several meals), bean with bacon soup, an ounce of cream cheese with a little peanut butter mixed in (all low sugar), and canned chicken with a little bit of blue cheese and wing sauce whirred up in the blender (makes it like a buffalo chicken dip).

The thing I've struggled with the most has been getting enough water. I switched to a Nalgene bottle and that's been a bit better, but it is SO hard to get all my liquids in every day. I'm also struggling to find a multi-vitamin that has everything we need and doesn't make me sick!

You're doing great! Keep it up! :D
