Tomato Soup

[Debi287 4]

I am 7 days post op and on full liquids for two more weeks. I was wondering if cream of Tomato Soup is too acidic to eat this close to surgery? Any other full liquid ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I wasn't allowed to have Tomato Soup until I was on the regular diet, at least 4 weeks out. I'm guessing this was due to the acidity. How about cream of chicken Soup (made with milk)? Also fat free, sugar free pudding or yogurt.

Many cans of Tomato Soup contain too much processed sugar.

Good point james. I didn't think of that

Dole makes a delicious garden vegetable and Tomato and garlic/herb Soup that is delicious and low in fat. Comes in a box and it's in the soup section of the grocery store

Sorry meant to say it's low in sugar too

I was told to make Tomato Soup and mix it with milk as a full liquid, which did not seam appealing to me. I did have Tomato Soup from Panera bread this afternoon. I could not eat the entire bowl. But it was delicious and took away some of my anxiety. There were herbs in it, but nothing else and it did not cause any discomfort. I had my bypass on 3/23/15. Not sure if that helps, but wish you the best of luck.

I have been eating the regular condensed Tomato Soup made with skim milk since I was 4 days out and I haven't had any ill effects. But everybody is different.

I ate it with no problem, was never told not to.

BTW Progresso makes a Tomato with basil, amazing!

My surgeon and NUT specifically told me to have Tomato Soup, lol! They even recommend getting it at Trader Joe's in the carton....it is DELICIOUS. don't think I'd eat Campbell's but Like another poster said, Progresso is delicious! Go for it!

I ate it when I was just a few days out too on full liquids. I loved Tomato Soup before and now I will never ever touch it again I got so burnt out on it lol
