The eating and drinking rule

[LA_lady 50]

Very basic question here. I know we aren't supposed to eat liquids with our solids but what about chicken Soup? ? I would love to have some chicken soup with very soft chicken in it.

Thoughts?

I had chicken Soup and it typically leaves me uncomfortable. I'm not sure if its because I eat too fast or because I'm eating & drinking at the same time. I'm only 3 months post-op and I had some this past Friday. Maybe it'll work really well for you, but it was not so nice to me.

I can have it if using as a meal and if small or shredded pieces with well cooked veg. Frankly my "meals" are so small that trading one for another liquid has not been appealing to me.

But, I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken "broth" Protein almost every night.

My bariatric team does not allow Soup because of the "no eating and drinking at the same time" rule. Drain the chicken from the soup, drink the broth first, then eat the chicken.

I've done kind of the opposite of bufflehead - I eat the solids first, wait a bit, reheat the broth and drink it. But same concept - I still have Soup, I just separate it out a bit.

and yes the Unjury chicken Soup flavor is my friend - a welcome savory change when tired of sweet shakes.< /p>
