How much cream soup (tomato, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, etc...) should we eat at one sitting in the full fluid stage. It seems as though I can consume quite a bit and I'm worried that it may be too much. Any idea?

I think because it is a liquid you will not feel the restriction unless you take it too much at one time. I am on mushies and have the same problem. I will find out what kind of restriction I have when I move onto solids.

Thanks Lily (love your name). Do you know if there is a certain amount we should be consuming at meal time? Do we just eat until we're satisfied? Just don't want to sabotage my weight loss, if you know what I mean.

I just look at the amount of carbs and calories the "soup" is going to provide. As I do not want to go over my daily carbs. That being said I was eating half a can of cream soup to know that I was getting enough but not too much. I have started making my own soups (curry califlower is my favourite) and I have been eating about 4 - 8 oz of it. If I eat chili which is a bit more dense I can eat between 2-4 oz (I do not want to feel over stuffed so I take it easy). Hope this helps my best answer is go with a serving size that you feel comfortable eating (carb wise).

My book says 1/2 cup for strained cream soup

I am 13 days out and can get between 1/4 and 1/2 cup down and feel stuffed. My Dr. wants me on Full liquids till day 20. But honestly, I don't think I could get much more down (thickness wise) anyway. It's just a slow go for me.

I am still on mushy food. When I have broth I can down 3-4 oz, when I have anything more solid/mushish I can only get 1/2 an oz of food. That is why I go back n forth to broths and soups.

I can probably eat 1 - 1 1/2 cups. That worries me!! I fight head hunger all the time with all the commercials and seeing others eating. I guess I'm not one of the lucky one's who has lost their hunger. That makes me real sad.

r u sure it's not cravings instead of hunger? I see a commercial and want to run to the fridge, then I stop and say.. wait I am not hungry.. just a stupid doritos craving because of the commercial, lol

I crave everything all the time!! That was my problem before surgery as well. I LOVE food...I used to joke and say, "I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first!" I'm NEVER satisfied. If I could burn my tastes buds off, I would!! This is so depressing to realize that I'm always going to feel this way!

Someone PLEASE tell me I can eat so much right now because I'm on full liquids and they're just running through my sleeve instead of hanging around to tell me I'm full!!!

I am right there with you Can'tweight, I can easily have a can of soup and then want more an hour later. I am very worried that I am going to be that 1 in a million failures. I am only 17 days out and starving. All soups make me want to gag now. I took 2 bites of lowfat cottage cheese and thought I was in heaven. I am just want some food I can chew!!!!!!!

I would suggest making chicken soup then blending it all up. It's still liquids with tiny tiny pieces if chicken and veggies. ( I made mine from scratch). It was easy going down and it made me full. Good luck
