Soup Question

[flieaway 0]

I know we aren't suppose to drink for a bit before or after eating. My question is, after all the post-op diet is done can I still eat Soup? I love Soups but am concerned because its Fluid with food.< /p>

For me, at 6 months post op, Soup plays a big part. There are days where I feel super tight, and soup is the only thing I can get down. Even on days when I don't feel very hungry but know I need some nutrition, I'll choose a good soup.

What about non-cream type Soups like homemade chicken Soup or hamburg soup?

My surgeon suggested that once we advance to "solid" food that we shouldn't EVER need to back up to mushies or liquids (including after a fill.)

After your post-op period, while you can certainly still eat Soup, it's not likely to leave you feeling very satisfied.

I love Soup. It was one of my favorite meals preop, and remains so now. Not everyone is satisfied with it--but it always does the trick for me. (I think it's psychological as much as anything else. There's nothing as therapeutic, to me, as a good bowl of homemade soup.)

mmmmm i love soups!! i always keep some in the cabinet so when i dont know what to have for lunch or dinner. also for the days when i just dont feel like eating it's in there. i've been craving my homemade chicken and noodles...gotta revise my noodle recipe since i'm not doing the past thing. you can always have bean Soup or split pea soup. they have more consistancy then just a broth based soup.
