I know that if you have the Tomato Soup you can count that to your liquids. But, how much Tomato Soup should you have at one time? Does that count as eating also. I've very confused about this.

Surgery Date: May 2, 2013 - Amount Lost: 22lbs

I have Tomato Soup all the time! I get the Campbell's Healthy Request Soup at Hand thingamabobs. I can drink a whole one over the course of 45 minutes to an hour and it's my lunch.< /p>

I love creamy Tomato Soup !!! I ate it all the time. You surgeon should have given you some directions on how many ounces etc. to have with each meal etc. When I was on liquids only right after surgery I would have about 1/2 cup of Soup with some yogurt and that was one of my meals. I did not count soup as a liquid even though I could have. I would not go crazy trying to figure out if its a liquid or a meal, there are not that many ounces to make that much of a difference. My surgeon said 64 oz of Water and 64 oz of Protein daily. He knew I could not do that at first but as long as you got most of the requirement in he was OK with it.

I was told by my nutritionist it's both a liquid and a meal

      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.
