How much soup is too much soup...?



Recommended Posts

Greetings! I’m just shy of two weeks post-op (VSG @ mayo Clinic) and per their nutrition guide I’ve introduced low-fat creamy Soup into my diet. Not gonna lie, it’s a very welcome change since the first week.

As of today, I’m able eat about 3/4 of a coffee cup (I’m guessing volumewise it’s a little under a cup). Overall, I feel fine after eating it (i.e. - no “stuck food” feeling or anything).

Should I be able to intake/handle that much at this point in my recovery? It seems like more than I should be able to, but I imagined I’d feel gross if that was the case.

Thanks, All!

Soup is a great go to , but I have found that it really goes right through the stomach. So I have avoided cream Soups because they tend to be high in calories with no "filling" sensation. That said, a cup of good soup in the evening seems to fill the old void of Doritos and a couple beers

liquids tend to go right on through. When you get to the solid food stage is when you will start to feel restriction.

I'm 1 wk post vsg. If liquids and Soups "go right thru" are the nutrients being absorbed?

When I was on the liquid stage, I could finish an entire small Campbells 5oz can, which comes out to 10oz when adding the can of water/milk. I'd be able to finish it all before it got cold. I'm now measuring/weighing everything on soft foods….that and getting at least 64oz of Water daily I'm fortunately having zero cravings to snack. On liquids, I'd down a Tomato Soup in a tall coffee mug.
