I don't think I'm allowed any cream soups at this point, which doesn't make much sense to me since I'm supposed to be doing the CIB with milk... We're recommended to do 6 NSA CIB packets per day, with 8 oz. skim or 1% milk with each packet... so I've been doubling them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a couple of SF jellos thrown in here and there, and some beef broth in the evening. Total protein from the CIB is 71g/day, and about 900 calories, so nutritionally it's OK.
Being HUNGRY isn't the problem; in fact, I find myself having to remind myself to drink them. It's the BOREDOM that's getting to me, and the constant barrage of "sweet" stuff... I'm beginning to realize that before this whole WLS journey, I never really craved "sweets" nearly as much as I did the savory stuff... and now I feel like I'm being ambushed by sugar-- even though it's fake sugar.
I keep trying to remind myself that it's only another week and a half until I'm a week post-op and I can start transitioning back to "normal" foods, like eggs, pureed soups, etc.
