I have yet to be banded but am wondering about whether I will still be able to eat mixed Soups, like vegetable Soup for instance. I know that a person is advised to avoid liquids at mealtimes so I am wondering if having a mixed soup is advisable.

my doctor said to avoid liquids like Soup as Soup will pass through your band and you will eat more than you should because you won't feel full.he advised me to stay clear of watery foods.

Soup will go down perfectly fine! That's the problem. You'll still be able to eat it though, I just wouldn't recommend it in excess! Cause like the people above me stated, it passes right through the band, so you'll end up wanting/needing to eat more to stay satisfied for 3-4 hrs! Hope this makes sense & good luck

I eat Soup - I had some gumbo today - but I try to make it "chunky" with lost of Protein and veggies...that way it sticks with me longer.

I love Soup. But have not had any since coming off mushies a few weeks ago. I would think that homemade soup would be a good one as it is more solid than soup, at least mine is. It is not something I plan on eating on a regular basis, but I am not excluding anything really from my diet other than processed carbs and sugars. So an occasional bowl a soup is in my future.

I eat Soup all the time. It fills me up and keeps me full for at least 4-5 hours.

Your doctor is mistaken! Soup fills me up and keeps me full for hours! I usually eat less than a bowl...sometimes only a cup!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
