8th day of post op

I'm on my 8th day of post op and I wanted to know when I can I start eating cream Soups

Every Dr. is different. I'm also on 8th day and still on a clear liquid diet + Protein Drinks.< /p>

That's a question for your doctor...

My experience was that I could transition to "full liquids," which includes cream Soups that are strained of all chunks of anything, as soon as Day 4 post-op. I started introducing creamier things (i.e. milk) on the evening of Day 3 post-op and did fine. I see my doc tomorrow!

Normally your surgeon will tell you but everyone plan is different. Today I got cleared for cream Soups and mushy/puréed/very soft food but with low calorie limit he said preferably less than 500 until my 6 week check up.

I'm 11 days out by the way.

I'm also post-op day 8- my doctor considers cream Soups to be "full liquids" as well as pudding and yogurt. I have had some cream of Tomato Soup made with milk on Monday and it tasted SO GOOD compared to all the sweet Protein Shakes I've been forcing down, and I had some yogurt yesterday which tasted fine, but it was sweet to me. I haven't wanted to try pudding yet because of the sweetness. I've been drinking a lot of chicken broth that I made (way better than store bought) and really struggling to get in my Protein these past few days. It seems I can get in my protein and not my liquids or my liquids and not my protein.

Cream Soup gets me very ill with dumping. Be careful and introduce it slowly.
