too much soup for lunch?

[miterin62 3]

I am exactly 2 months post op and I was just able to eat 8 0z of cream of broccoli Soup in 30 mins for lunch I do not feel stuffed but a little full.

Is that too much to be able to eat? I am so paranoid of stretching my sleeve.

@@miterin62 Cream of broccoli Soup will slide through your sleeve so you are unlikely to feel stuffed. It's important to measure your food and only eat the amount recommended. Soup is not going to stretch your sleeve.

liquids won't stretch your sleeve. I don't know why people believe this can happen, but an awful lot of folks do.

liquids pass almost immediately down your sleeve and into your small intestine. No worries.

Can I suggest adding a Protein (ie chicken etc) to your Soup. It will make you full sooner and add the benefit of protein to your meal. I am 10 months out. When I eat any type of soup, I mix 2 oz of chicken with my 1/4 to 1/2 cup of soup (I need moist protein). It fills me right up.
