Am I supposed to be able to eat a bowl of Soup?

My friend seems to think I should only be able to eat a few spoons and then be full I am confused it will be a week tomorrow since my surgery

As your swelling goes down, you fill find that you can eat more. The first week post op, I weighed about 3-4 oz and had that. Your friend is not you and doesn't know how your body is feeling. Follow your dr's instructions.

Soup is a slider food and won't ever fill you unless you are too tight.

I am day 5 post op and my doctor said drink as much Soup broth and any other clear liquid as I want. If I feel full to stop.

I am almost a year out. What you are feeling is normal. Soup is like Water, it won't fill you up. My doctor said to drink as much soup, water etc.. as I like. You will learn that to feel full you need to eat things with more consistancy to them. Just take it day by day. Some people don't understand that lap band is way different than gastric bypass so we can fit more into our stomach.

Agree, right now you are eating/drinking to heal and stay hydrated. Keep drinking!

But at one week post-op, clear soup is appropriate.

Absolutely! I'm one week out and still on clear for another week!
