What is Considered to be "Liquids"?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 01/12/11 and now on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. My question is... would Tomato Soup prepared with skim milk be okay? Part of my "liquid" diet is Protein Shakes, which are prepared with skim milk, and are not Clear Liquids. So, obviously I'm not limited to just clear liquids. What do you think? Tomato Soup sure sounds good right now, but don't want to mess anything up. Thanks!

I'm sure that's fine, just check the nutritional information to make sure you're not too high on fat, sodium, or carbs. While you're at it…..you might want to throw some unflavored Protein Powder in there and get some of the good stuff in.

Has anyone been told by their doc or nut that Tomato based products will be on the "no" list because of the high acid content? When I got to thinking about the Tomato Soup, it seems like I've heard this.

My doc says no acid foods including tomato Soup for 8 weeks! And NO tomato juice or sauce, oranges, peppers, pineapple, grapefruit, hot sauce.

...also no skin or seeds, such as in strawberry or other berries. sad.gif

My first two weeks my surgeon said "nothing that won't go through a straw" - well, ok then! =)

Tomato Soup was the exception to the no acid foods, starting week 2, but I was also told to test I carefully, because some people have problems with it.

I also added stage one baby food meats to my broth to give them more Protein, still thin enough to go through a straw.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
