hiya Viven,

I had my op 27th Oct and Im the same as you very bored already of the liquids, however I do have milk.

At least your losing thought thats a great weight loss since your op. I was told not to weight myself for at least 2 weeks as your stomach is that swollen.

If you get any fresh ideas let us know and I will do to

Dee xx

hi i know soups are boring and i was so fed up with thm but you really must stick to protocol as your stomache is still very swollen at this stage.. i went and bought all types of fresh soup which made the taste and texture more scrumptious.. lol
hope that helps
