I was sleeved on 01/12/11 and now on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. My question is... would tomato soup prepared with skim milk be okay? Part of my "liquid" diet is protein shakes, which are prepared with skim milk, and are not clear liquids. So, obviously I'm not limited to just clear liquids. What do you think? Tomato soup sure sounds good right now, but don't want to mess anything up. Thanks!

I'm sure that's fine, just check the nutritional information to make sure you're not too high on fat, sodium, or carbs. While you're at it…..you might want to throw some unflavored protein powder in there and get some of the good stuff in.

Soup was listed on my diet as part of full liquids. Unflavored protein powder added would be great though.

Has anyone been told by their doc or nut that tomato based products will be on the "no" list because of the high acid content? When I got to thinking about the tomato soup, it seems like I've heard this.

My doc says no acid foods including tomato soup for 8 weeks! And NO tomato juice or sauce, oranges, peppers, pineapple, grapefruit, hot sauce.

...also no skin or seeds, such as in strawberry or other berries.

Thanks for the feedback. Think I should probably stay away from tomato based foods for awhile.

For me clear liquids are:

Water

Crystal LIght and other non-carbonated, de-caffeinated, zero calorie drinks

broth

SF Popcycles

SF Jello

If only I could have some mashed potatoes!

i needed a new taste so i am mixing 3 parts broth to 1 part cream soup not tomato butternut squash. its delicious.

My first two weeks my surgeon said "nothing that won't go through a straw" - well, ok then! =)

Tomato soup was the exception to the no acid foods, starting week 2, but I was also told to test I carefully, because some people have problems with it.

I also added stage one baby food meats to my broth to give them more protein, still thin enough to go through a straw.
