It has been ingrained into our heads since surgery not to eat and drink at the same time and to wait 30 minutes after eating to drink - well.... Soup? ?? To eat soup is to eat AND drink at the same time.

So, do you guys stay away from soup in general or do you just drink the broth first and then eat the "chunks" (if applicable) ;)

Just the broth for the first 2 weeks, liquid diet, no chunks or Pasta. I found the bullion cubes disgusting. I got Lipton noodle Soup, made the packet as normal and strained out the noodles. It isn't going to take much to fill you up. Sip it until you find the amount that works best for you.

I'm 10 weeks post surgery and down 40+ lbs. As far as no drinking during meals, is very tough. I sip a Fluid as needed. But the liquid will fill u quicker, so sip small amounts.

I'm 6 months post op - but still Soup is a weird one for me! It's just the whole concept of soup.

I'm 12 weeks post op and have Soup every once in a while. Only a quarter cup or so. Much more than that and I find it uncomfortable.

The energy I felt was once I lost 30 lbs post op. About 6 weeks in, but I'm ahead of schedule on weight loss. Everyone is different.

I am 3.5 years out and I posed the same question to my surgeon when I was cleared for all foods. He just looked at me like I was an idiot. :)

I drink the broth and then eat the stuff to this day. My restriction is very tight to this day so if I drink right after I eat, I yarf.

I love soup, but once I start the eating part, it's over for the broth.

My program states no Soup once you are on solids. The nutritionist said it's because the liquid in soup does empty faster and it's hard to meet your Protein goal. She said if you do have soup it should be thick full of protein and veggies, mor like a stew with a minimum of broth.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
