I had it during liquid phase. Day before I graduated to soft foods at week 3. So I didn't strain it. Since you are only one week out I probably would.

Reminds me of day 2 in Bariatric hospital. For lunch they brought me a Soup that had little bits of meat and veggie in it. I asked the nurse if it should be strained since everything I read about post-op diet said it should be. She looked at it and said it's small enough and should be fine. I didn't eat but a few bites of the broth to be on the safe side.

I remember thinking... this is a bariatric hospital, and they should know better. LOL But maybe small pieces of food getting stuck in our yet unhealed stomach staples is just a myth too? IDK

The well strained broths from wonton Soup, pho, ramen, etc. are generally considered okay but do check with your team. It’s pretty hard to track the Protein content though so it may be best not to rely on them.
