Drinking after soup



Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is a stupid question, but do you guys usually wait to drink after eating cream Soup or broth? I'm 11 days post op and like 2-3 days ago I ate/drank broth a bit too quickly and I felt nauseated. I've had a very good experience very little neausea and have been hitting my Water and Protein goals. TIA

broth no, I did not wait. Soups I did. They are a little thicker and part of the reason to wait is to allow it to absorb the nutrients from it.

if it's all liquid, then no. If the Soup has chunks of things in it (like meat and/or vegetables), then I eat the liquid part first, then the solids. And after that, I wait 30 minutes before drinking anything.

Not after broth but definitely after Soup since the vegetables and/or meat (even blended) etc. sit in my stomach. I always wait 30 minutes (at the very least). I don't know if others experience this but the moment I drink anything, I will get hungry again sooner. The longer I wait to drink, the longer the satiety lasts.

The reason for waiting is to allow your body of absorb the nutrients from the foods you ate. You want the nutrients from broth too, I would wait if it was me. Either way it wouldn't hurt to wait to be "safe".

Of course, you could always ask your team and do what they say. The know best.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
