Soup Question!

[LesKra 8]

I was sleeved June 18th by Dr. Kim in Dallas, TX. I am fixing to start my stage two phase which is the Full Liquid Protein, which is two weeks. The book says that I need to purchase Fat Free Cream Soups ( American Heart Association green label with heart ). I bought a few ( Tomato, cream of chicken, and cheddar cheese ). All of them are the heart healthy ones with the logo but we couldn't find the fat free ones. These have 0g trans fat per serving and between 1.5-2.5g of total fat. Are these okay? What did y'all use? Help!

They will work- just keep em thinned with Water or FF milk. Also try powered Bear Creek soups- some of them are very low cal/fat and are delish

Those Soups should be just fine. They aren't high in fat.

Most of the people i know used those soups in cartons. I know

there is a squash one.

I was told no to Tomato Soup but if your doctor says it's okay then it should be fine. I was told it was too acidic at first. I didn't go the complete fat free route, and you eat so little of them anyhow. At almost 3 weeks out I eat about 8 teaspoons of Soups and that's about it.

I was sleeved June 7th by Dr. Kim. These Soups are all fine and got me thru the phase 2 as well. I'm beginning to transition to phase 3 and SO ready for different tastes and textures!

Make sure you buy a mesh strainer for your soups. Too thick and you will have a hard time with it. I also liked to trick up the cream of chicken Soup with garlic powder and other seasoning. My all time favorite go to if you're close to a Central Market is to go drain some broth from their chicken noodles soup. You get all the flavor of the soup without all the 'lumps, bumps, and clumps' we're told to avoid.

Good luck to you!! You're doing just fine!

I think those are fine. You may need to dilute more than the can says to make it easier to eat. That will cut the fat even more. I used HEB mootopia milk fat free to up the Protein too.

Good to know you are using the HEB Mootopia fat free. I will try it when I get to this stage. I get sleeved on July 9th.

I was sleeved at Forest Park on May 15th, those are the exact Soups I did... I liked them and didn't have any problems

Thank you all so much! I can't wait for them! I was a little worried about it!

I haven't found any FF Soups but I did find 98% FF which is what my NUT recommended (have to strain those of course). I was told to avoid the Tomato (acidic) and anything with broccoli in it (we don't need any more gas!)
