Do you all eat it or do you think its too acidic for our healing tummies?

No, I ate it when I was on full liquids. I melted cottage cheese in with it so that it had more Protein.

I hear of a lot of people eating tomato Soup on the post op diet so it must be fine. My local surgeon sells bariatric food and he has packets of tomato soup with some sort of Protein powder in it.

I avoided it for the first few weeks while my stomach was healing. The most I could it was only 1/4 c at that time. I loved the progress healthy parmesan tomato. I added another tbsp of parmensan to add additional protein also. My husband who hates tomato soup really liked it and also ate it after he had surgery.

I'm not allowed tomatoes until 2 months but I know a lot of people have had it sooner.

I was told to wait til 4 weeks out to have tomatos.

The parm/tomato soup is REALLY good. That's pretty much all I lived on when I was on full liquids. I couldn't drum up enough interest in anything else but that soup truthfully.

I am on full liquids and had some tomato and basil soup from Whole Foods Market last night - it was so delicious!!! I could eat it every day and never get tired of it!

where did you guys get the parm/tomato soup? Is it a bariatric one? It has extra protein?

I am 10 days post-op, and have been eating tomato soup at least once a day for a week. I use the organic Creamy Tomato from Trader Joes, it is soooo good. A few times I have mixed it with strained veggie soup to change the flavor up a bit, also very good. I eat no more than 1/3 cup at a time. I do not add any protein power to mine, I am getting over 60 grams of protein a day with my shakes. Hope this helps!

My doc says it varies by individual. He says you can have it in the full liquid stage but if you find you are having issues with acid, you should avoid it until later. I don't like tomato soup, but I found some fantastic chilled gazpacho at Fresh Market. It is a little spicier than I expected but man it was SO good and a great change of pace.

I used Campbell's and Amys with skim milk and a little sharp cheddar melted into it. So yummy and the leftovers keep pretty well.

So does melted cheese go down better than say a soft cheese? I tried soft cheese and my sleeve hurt for an hour after

I just get my soup hot enough that the shredded cheddar melts almost instantly. It doesn't hurt my sleeve.
