justsleeveeverythingtome 1 Posted December 27, 2019 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! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fatboyslim1 204 Posted December 27, 2019 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 1 1 *aqua* and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynda486 784 Posted December 27, 2019 liquids tend to go right on through. When you get to the solid food stage is when you will start to feel restriction. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JB1 37 Posted December 27, 2019 I'm 1 wk post vsg. If liquids and Soups "go right thru" are the nutrients being absorbed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
🌱VeGan❤️HeArT🌱 97 Posted December 27, 2019 I was wondering this same exact question last night while enjoying my egg drop soup...cuz it was hella good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike2019 12 Posted December 28, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
