Full Liquid diet rules

[LAMamma 6]

I was reading a few posts and saw that some people were eating creamy Soups on the full liquid diet. Is that allowed? I'm soooooo tired of the Protein Shakes already!

Also, any recommendations on a non-flavored Protein Powder to add to that Soup (assuming it is allowed)?

Every program is different, so you need to reach out to your surgeon's office for their rules.

I was allowed Tomato Soup and I added unflavored Syntrax Nectar Medical Protein Powder. I also enjoyed the Bariatric Fusion chicken Soup flavored "shake". Celebrate makes one, too, and Unjury has a really nice beef one. A warning, though. I didn't like them at all a few days post-surgery as they tasted like chemicals to me. But pre-op, they were a godsend.

I agree talk to your team because some Soups may be considered a purée. And if you are allowed soups make sure it can go though a pretty fine strainer. Many soups have little bits of meat or vegetables.

thanks everyone. I've sent a message to my nutritionist, here's hoping!

Ask about bone broths & consommés too as they are allowed on many plans. They may say no to creamy Soups (I used to dilute mine to make them thinner) but yes to clear soups like Bone Broth.

All programs are different. My program allows cream Soups and other blended soups(fat free lower sodium) , strained and thinned out with Water so that there are no chunks. I can also have yogurt not fruit or added stuff in it. Do not use the Isopure unflavored. It tastes very flavored! And its gross. I can not mask the flavor at all with anything!!!! I cant wait for my follow up on Thursday, hopefully I get to move on to what my program calls “soft and mushy” foods

I’d suggest purchasing a Soup that has Protein. Most protein powders do not mix well with hot Water and changes the texture of the soup. I’d aim for a Bone Broth as arabesque mentioned. They also make Bariatric Soups that might be worth a shot.
