Soup and Drinking

[soozett22 1]

How do we feel about drinking with meal when said meal is Soup? I mean it’s already food mixed in liquid that we’re eating ?? I don’t do it but while eating one of my friends asked me WHY I couldn’t drink while eating soup and It left me wondering as well…

Because we are trying to focus on getting all the appropriate macronutrients, and not fill up on our drink.

Because the liquid from the drink fills up your stomach, and then the nutrients from the food don't get a chance to get in there and stay there and be absorbed because the liquid pushes it through. Something like that.

I would assume the others are on the right track. The Water would just dilute the nutrients from the food and leave less room for the nutritious food.

Ah soup, how i miss eating it the “normal” way.

I’m 3+ years post op and i still have to eat soup in stages: first slurp up all the liquid/broth, then I eat all the solid bits. If I don’t, i’m guaranteed to get super full, super fast and likely barf.

BUT…I’ve read of folks on here who have no issue having soup with liquid and solid at same time. Best way to find out is to try. But go slow if you tend to be a barfer like me!

Good Luck! ❤️

Oh wow I just realized I don’t even eat Soup with solids in it anymore. I am either eating stew or drinking broth!

Food, wait 30 minutes than liquid. And vice versa.
And, what everyone else said.
