Week 2 - Thicker Liquids question

[beli 20]

Today marks the beginning of my 2nd week post-op. I'm allowed to have thicker Soups as long as there's no chunks. Well I'm reading over the plan as I run the Campbell's Tomato Soup through a strainer and I realize that it says soups but then in parenthesis it says (water, not milk!). I'm so confused. I'm going to call the doctor (they're at lunch right now, grrr) but I just wanted to ask - the Soup contains cream which is milk. I assume most thicker soups do too. Unless there's other choices I'm not aware of? What in the world can I eat then?

I used Campbell Soups for during my 2 week post op. I used fat free milk in my soups. My surgeon reccommend me to use milk because of the protien. I also added fat free plain greek yogurt to the Soup for addictional protien. I hope this helps.

Same for me... Full liquids included creamy soups; Campbell's cream of potato, mushroom, etc. As long as I strained out the solids.

I love Campbell's creamy Tomato, but I was told to avoid tomato post-op because of the acid. Greek yogurt wasn't allowed at that point, but frozen yogurt was. I think because the frozen yogurt melts to a watery consistency.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately my doctor wants Soups with NO milk or dairy of any kind. However, I have found some good soups. Thanks!
