Most tomatoe Soups are really high in carbs....maybe that's why.

When I was first sleeved, I really enjoyed Tomato Soup that I bought online . Proti makes all sorts of high Protein Soups, hot Cereal, hot chocolate, etc. Their Tomato Soup is really good. I think you can get it at dietdirect.com

They are discouraged because of the high acidity. High acid foods cause reflux.

They are generally high carb, but... Campbells makes this Tomato bisque with bacon that was amazing post-op. I ate 3 oz at a time mixed with some Fage 0% since it tastes like sour cream, oh was it good.

I was told no tomatoes for 2 months due to risk of ulcer.

I also consumed Tomato Soup during the first few weeks of full liquids. It was delicious. I don't think that the canned varieties carry so much acid. I had no issues.

I hated Tomato Soup before surgery. But I gave Progresso's Tomato Basil a shot. And it was my new favorite food when I started full liquids! Two 'Skinnier' thumbs up!!!

Tomato Soup contains a lot of sugar and tomatoes are very acidic. Acid can cause ulcers and an ulcer is the last thing you want with a sleeve.

Funny how all NUTs are so different. It was only my allowed list after 3 days post op and lived off it day and night during my liquid stage. Never had any problems with it.

While acidic foods can irritate ulcers, it's a myth that they will cause them.

What?! Finally someone else knows that acid doesn't cause ulcers. I won't be the only crazy one now. People look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them that acid aggravates, not causes ulcers.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
