Another soup question...

[jamelyn1979 1]

So I'm 8 days post op and I started my full-liquid diet yesterday. My instructions say to eat 1/2 cup of strained creamy Soup. I'm finding I'm still hungry or at least I think I am still hungry but I don't want to eat more if I'm going over my 1/2 cup. Did most of you eat more than the alloted amount given?

My surgeon did not give me an amount during the full liquid phase. I was allowed to have as much Soup as I needed to stay satiated. I would eat about a half cup and then a couple hours later I would go back for more.

Rather than straining my soup I used a Magic Bullet to puree the heck out of it and then added brother to thin it out a bit.

I've been eating a 1/2 cup and then waiting a while and having another 1/2 cup. I found it easier to blend the Soup to liquid rather than straining it. It actually tastes better too. You still get all the taste of the soup instead of just the broth.< /p>

I haven't had any other soup yet besides Tomato, Butternut Squash and Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. I haven't even thought of doing Soups other than creamy Soups. LOL, I'm so afraid to go off of my provided list from my dr.
