Confused by Soup

[glitter eyes 1,398]

@babbs. Yes!! The good ole Cereal with milk. First time I ate it I thought I was in heaven. It's like eating and drinking at the same time!! I eat it occasionally. Watermelon is kind of like that for me too- I love it because it's a watery food.

Hang on to your wit and humor and you'll make it.

I have been thinking about this too. I'm just including Soups as part of my Water intake for the day.

Soup is closer to food than liquid esp once you are at the soft food stage.

I had this issue, too.

For me, any more than the tiniest sip of liquid for at least 20 minutes after a meal will bring that meal right back up and out and I am 2.5 years out. When I was a year out and less, I had to wait a full hour minimum or my results would be the same.

No matter what you WANT to think, while broth based Soup is a food, it really is a savory liquid with solid food in it and I struggled eating it the "normal" way -- still do. Now I spoon up most of the broth and "eat" that first, wait a few minutes and then eat the actual solids.

It's the only way I can tolerate it.

I tried cereal with milk once -- a food I used to love. Nope. It stuck, then it washed, then it rapidly came back. Cereal is no longer my go to Breakfast, snack, dinner. Multi-grain Cheerios, I miss you...

I guess this is where milage varies. My Soups consist of veg and Beans pureed with just enough liquid to blend. I'm not gonna count that as liquid. Thankfully I have always had the tummy of steel. I can drink 5 - 20 minutes after eating, no problem . Cereal other than hot cereals aren't really my thing.

Bottom line? When in doubt confer with your NUT.

Doesn't it always?

I wouldn't count that either. I'm talking full on broth based soups with stuff floating in it. Your's sounds much heartier. Yum!
