how do you eat Soup or Cereal and deal with the liquids and solid food at the same time?

I can't if i try i get a restricion....i eat the ceral first then wait at least 15 minues (can't drink the good stuff at the bottom of the bowl) with soup i eat the vegies and rice then wait so long to drink the liqids some times i just throw it out

any ideas?

If you have to wait 15 minutes, you are probably not hungry anymore and should just stop.

the problem is i am hungry but if i try to eat (liquids and solid food) at the same time it hurts and i end up throwing up

with soup i just eat the veggies or meat at the same time but I chew them to puree form... If I get in a hurry and forget to chew well... it will come back up

Maybe your stomach isnt healed enough or youare reaching you fullness..eiher way i would pick with one or the other. Go slow. You shouldnt be getting sick .

Helen,

I am asuming that you have been filled. If so how much? I had the same problem and after some time I went back to the docs office and they figured out that I was over filled. Check with your doc.

Try blending your soup so that it doesn't consist of chunks and watery liquid. Also soup isn't one of the best foods post band as it is normally a slider - you should focus on solid foods that fill you up for longer.Maybe the rice is swelling and causing an issue so you could try skipping the rice. I've never actually had rice in soup before!

Eat your cereal with just a dash of milk or try eating it with yogurt instead.
