eating regular soup

[limbo6 23]

before my surgery....my nutritionist said we were never going to be able to eat regular Soup because the liquid in the Soup will wash away the contents of the soup. since it is now fall ....and i am 5+ weeks postop...i am dying for just some regular soup....like italian wedding soup or chicken noodle with soft veggies and chicken. is anybody else eating regular soup and how are they doing wit that? what were you guys told about soup?

Hi! first of all congratulations!! I wasn't told nothing about not being able to eat Soup. In fact, I've been eating soup lately that includes cream of chicken plus chicken noodle soup. I have no problems eating soup. I had the sleeve surgery done. I hope you will be able to eat soup. Only thing that I was told not to eat so soon was stuff like chips (things that can poke the sleeve). But everything that can poke is carbs and I don't eat carbs if I can help it. Good Luck!

I'm a month out, and I was on regualr Soup three days out from surgery. I had broccoli and cheddar, Tomato, and beef/barly, and never had any problems. I still eat my tomato with crushed up crackers in it. I ate too much broccoli and cheddar so the thought of it kinda makes me sick, but there wasn't a soup I didn't try! Good luck!

LOL...i'm also a "cody's mom"....wow....i don't get why they said no Soup. they were telling me that 3 months preop....not to eat soup...or to eat the contents and not the liquid. i don't get why there are so many different rules from different doctors. i'm getting frustrated and i feel like i'm just going to eat whatever i want. i get it about the chips and pointy foods...that would make sense. i HAVE eaten 1 or 2 doritos....just chewed them up good.

I had surgery on 9/5 and Soup is my best friend. I eat all types and don't drink afterward for 30 minutes.

I don't understand the dramatic differences between doctor and this surgery. My doctor's has a 1 week liquid opt-in and then 3 weeks puree. To me most of the puree is liquid.
