You betcha'. It's liquid. My fav was Tomato roasted red pepper (or some such name) from Trader Joe's. Yummmo! If you could suck it through a straw, it's yours. Want some other flavors? Get out your blender and have chicken and noodle. Or split pea. Bean and bacon. Full of Protein and you will feel better. If it is too thick, thin down with milk or broth. You can blend just about anything. Tastes like real food, too.

Cream of chicken with herbs is really good too. They were both a couple of my staples during the liquid diet phase. I also liked the Imagine boxed Caribbean black bean bisque. If i wanted a little extra body, I would add a tablespoon of instant mashed potatoes to the Soup.< /p>

the health food store had a series of AWESOME cream Soups in little boxes with a snap lid on top. they were exactly two servings. Perfect. They had Tomato and basil, roasted red pepper and tomato, cream of mushroom, cream of brocolli, carrot/cashew and ginger (my favorite) butternut squash, cream of corn chowder, They were like heaven. They were organic and filling and perfectly legal. Actually had flavor too.

Sure you can! I just ended my two week liquid only phase and I lived off of Tomato Soup. I made it with low fat milk for added protein! Go for it!

When the nurse called me last week I asked her if I could have Tomato Soup because the sweet shakes were getting old... I was asking about the Tomato Protein Soup I get from New life styles diet... and she told me no... No tomato soup at all... All I can have is Protein Shakes water/crystal light...and broth...

I am wanting something more with flavor!!! one more week.....

Enjoy the tomato soup for both of us.....

I lived off of Tomato Soup, especially in weeks 2 through 4 post op. I was limited to the Soups I could have b/c my doctor told me he wanted me to eat low fat, low sodium soups--fortunately, many Tomato soups fit that bill. I specifically asked him if I could have it, and he said I could.

What's funny is that I didn't even like plain tomato Soup before the surgery (of course I liked the high fat variations of tomato basil), but now I crave tomato soup. Last night I was talking to a friend who was going to pick up pizza and breadsticks for his family, and I thought, "Yuck...that doesn't even sound good! I think my body would reject it at this point." But then, my mind went straight to wanting tomato soup.

I was also banded on May 21st and it is alright to have v8 and Tomato Soup. The nutritionist gave me menu. Your on full liquids right, if so you can have it.

Eat it!!

And also, when it came to chunky Soups, I would just strain the broth or whatever out of the Soups and have the Soup part without stuff in it. Was great for having a variety!

Trader Joes has a variety of Soups "in a box" you pour out one serving and heat in the microwave.

Campbell's Tomato Soup with cheese - yum. There are two ways to add Calcium to any Soup, and especially if you want cream Soups. Simply blend soft tofu into the soup. It is not only full of calcium but it also provides lots of Protein and no fat.

When making soup stock from bones, add acid such as lemon or vinegar -several tablespoons. It helps leach lots of calcium out of the bones into the broth.< /p>

      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.
