Full Liquids/ What is normal?

[KimTriesRNY 1,853]

Ok. I’m post op day 9 on the second stage of bariatric post op diet...full liquids.

I can eat 8 oz of cream Soup or Tomato Soup, albeit slowly, without issue. Is this normal? How much could you guys eat post op on these full liquids?

Is my pouch too big?

Right now, you can eat a full cup of Soup easy, or a full yogurt pretty easy. That’s because it passes through the pouch into the intestines easily. Once you move to solid foods that won’t be the case. So, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Exactly right, Soup is basically a slider food in that it goes in and out easily and quickly. Just make sure you're hitting or getting close to your Protein goals each day and you'll be good! Just take it slow when you are cleared to start having blended/soft foods. You'll fill up FAST. Like 2oz FAST.

Thank you for the responses...I was getting worried!
