Help - I'm tired of liquids

It's been 11 days and this has not been a good weekend! I am so tired of liquids! I need some encouragement from those of you who have been thru this. I'm not hungry - just want something in my mouth! I finally heated some chicken noodle soup and ran it thru the blender and made broth out of it. It was wonderfully rich - so much better than just broth! But today I really could eat something else - like applesauce, pudding, yougurt or instant potatoes. Did anyone else cheat? Tuesday will be 2 weeks and they said after 2 weeks I could eat that. Do I cheat? Help! Glenn Gay Springdale Lap RNY 5/26/04

Glenn, I ate cream of soups and instant potatoes at about 1 1/2 weeks out and yougart. But my surgeon also said I could. But be real carful they sure did fill me up Quick. I couldn't even eat 1 ounce of that stuff. Hugs Debbie Moya Dr. Baker 9/22/03 354/176/147

Glenn- I ate cream soups, applesauce and yogurt and other soft foods at day 6 (per my surgeons instructions). If you must put something in your mouth, and don't want to break your surgeons orders.....put it in your mouth, swi**** around and then spit it out. I still do that with steak and pork.....things I want to eat, but know I can't chew up well enough to swallow yet. Good luck and Tuesday will be here before you know it! Shelli
