I was a little worried about it too.. even made sure someone was home with me the first time I tried HAHA.. but it was fine. I was really wanting the cream of potato so I blended it up... well DH did.. and I ate 3 oz and was fine. Today I ate the other 3 oz. I have been more "unsatisfied" today than the past 4 days but staying on track!!

My surgeon did not include cream of Soups in the liquids phase, they were in a separate phase he called "thick liquids" - along with yogurts, purees, etc. If they were on my list, and I was still afraid of them, I would just blend them down with some Water or milk. Then you can decrease the fluids you're blending them with as you go.

BTW, some are condensed, and some are not. If you buy condensed you will need to cut it or it won't be "cream of" Soup, it will be a congealed concentrate. So just watch what you're buying and be sure to read the directions.

Drinking too fast caused me significant pain. I was very, very careful to sip but a few times I would tip back too much, and what do you do?

Nowadays it's more a matter of drinking too soon, than the speed at which I drink.

I was on cream Soups from post-op day #2 and while I was nervous about the tiny pieces of mushroom and potato, I haven't been straining them either. They've gone right down with no problem. No if there was anything bigger than a grain of rice in my soups, I would be blenderizing them or straining them.

My doc said as long as you could get it through a straw so that means that a few VERY small pieces would probably be okay. If it is on your doc's list then it should be fine. But if there are any questions add some milk or Water and blender away. Whoever said that the blender was your best friend was ABSOLUTELY correct!

Once I was allowed to do full liquids I did cream of mushroom Soup, but I strained out the pieces of mushrooms. I'm 4 weeks post-op and I haven't had cream of broccoli soup because my nutritionist says stay away from broccoli for another month at least because its so fibrous. I would love a nice bowl of cheddar broccoli soup, but I haven't wanted to go there in case I had trouble with it. I would definitely do cream of potato (you can make your own real easy!!!) and cream of mushroom soup (strained).

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
