Creamy tomato soup

[crazedteacher 38]

I am 6 days out. Can I have some creamy Tomato Soup?

[babs963 201]

I didn't... I think it might be somewhat acidic for your new pouch... Be gentle....

My doc said.. If it not on you food list.. Don't eat it... Take care!

Any suggestions for Soups? I just can't take another shake.< /p>

I drink the trader joes Tomato and red pepper only 2 oz.

Even for just 6 days out? I would just like to have anything besides another freaking crystal light or shake

Oh I'm 11 days out, you don't want to rush it and end up dumping, I would just drink broth.

unjury has a Protein flavored Soup. Also fat free cream of chicken .. Just ad unflavored Protein. I would also drink sugar free international Swiss mocha with a scoop of protein (make sure it isn't over 140 degrees when you ad the protein) fat free mushroom soup is also good. Make sure you purée any chunks.

Panera has French onion. Wonder if without croutons it would be ok?

I would stay away from the Tomato and the french onion, like the others said follow what your sheet says there is a reason for it. If you absolutely have to strain low fat cream of chicken or cream of mushroom Soup.< /p>

I lived off of Tomato Soup for the first 2 weeks, and it was on my approved list. If you're unsure, ask the nutritionist or someone at the surgeons office. I don't see why not if you're tolerating it fine.

My plan called for creamy Soups the day I went home (1 day post). I found a cream of Tomato and ate that with a scoop (ok... Like a teaspoon) of ricotta cheese (also approved). It was like a gourmet Italian dinner minus the Pasta.

I'm now 10 days post and the other things I'm allowed are sugar free pudding, SF Jello, melted cheese, broth, puréed baby foods including meats.

^{Funny how everyone has different instructions and diet guidelines. Anyone know where I can look for some post op diet food guide lines}

I was really interested in Soups too but at my 1 week appt yesterday my Dr suggested that I not focus on any soups until I've mastered getting my Protein and Water in. Said that I'll notice that I won't have time or room in ny stomach for Soup.

If Anyone has figured out how to do this. Please let me know. I love soups!

I didn't get in all my Protein but I did have 3 oz of creamy tomorrow. It was the best Soup I ever had.

Hi! im only 7 days post op but I recommend trader joe's Latin style black bean Soup. It already has Protein from the Beans but you can add some unflavored Protein to it too. The best thing it's that it also has lots of Fiber which helps with digestion! And it's delicious.

I also strained egg drop soup tonight. It counts as liquid intake which is #2 in the priority list. Yum!
