How does it work with soup?

[Nancy33 0]

I love Soup and could eat it every meal, but since it is a liquid does it cause food to go through to fast? My doctor says not to have liquids 1/2 hr before a meal, none with a meal, and wait for 1 1/2 after. Where does soup both broth based and cream base fit in? I don't want to get hungry faster!:hungry:

Yes, other than directly after surgery when I was told to be on liquids for healing, my doctor has told me to avoid any liquid calories and try to eat solid things that stay in the pouch and make me fill full longer so I don't choose Soup very often. I love it too but it had to go just like my addiction to Diet Coke. LOL

I just had stew for dinner tonight... YUM!!!!!!!

Pretty much since I am at my sweet spot (and tighter than some others like to be) I eat Soup a lot....... we went to dinner last night and I had a very delish creamy bacon potatoe soup... it is something that I know I CAN ALWAYS eat.

truthfully since I eat so little now... the calories from creamy Soups that I love are a non issue.

Today:

OHYeah pB wafers

Bowl of stew for lunch

Bowl of stew for dinner

I have also graized on some chips which is not good.... but I'm still very low for the day......

Soup is good!

If you aren't grazing all day and you are staying within your caloric range... it's no big deal.

If you find that you are eating 30 minutes after a meal of Soup then yes, it's an issue.

There is no such thing as bandster rules, there are bandster guidelines. We are all different and what works for one won't work for another.

Do what is right for you.

I just leave much of the broth in the pan and eat the good bits. I love Soup too. I love making it and sharing it. I tend to go with the Protein veggie kind. Like chicken and white bean. No more noodles, rice or potatoes in my Soups.

It's perfectly doable.
