Just enjoyed a really great bowl of tomato soup. I did have to reheat it a few times as I eat really slow... Practicing and scared of gulping it down, but I must say the flavors were delicious. First time I truly able to taste food, since I'd spent a lifetime of mindless eating.

That's funny, I have been on the two week pre-op (surgery tomorrow morning) and the third evening I had a bowl of tomato soup and I thought how wonderful it tasted.... you know... when you actually slow down and enjoy it!

I know, right! That would have never satisfied me before. Can't wait until I have some tomorrow!

I am 8 days post op and a couple of days ago I had a meltdown over the protein shake issue. I did not know how I was going to choke down 8 more days of it. My husband, being accustomed to dealing with hysterical post operative patients, brought me one exquisite ounce of tomato soup. I really brought me back from the brink. So I appreciate your tomato soup post. Best of luck to both of you.

Costco sells a 4 pack of cartons of an awesome organic red pepper and tomato soup.Brand is Pacific. Only 110 cals a cup and 2 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein!. Feels like a cheat everytime I have a cup!

Would tomato soup not be considered part of your full liquid diet, or does your nut just have you drinking shakes?

How much was it? That is what I had and it was great and it does feel like a cheat! I bought mine at Kroger for 3.99.

I am on a limited liquid diet for the first two weeks. Protein, decaf coffee/tea, crystal light, flavored waters, V8 and tomato juice. My thinking was that tomato soup cannot be that much different from tomato juice.

Oh, and broth. Which for some reason makes me want to hurl.

Hmm you could ask your Nut if it is okay to have it. The kind I but has 5g of Protein and I add a little of unflavored protein as well. I added hot sauce to my broth, which made it better.

I will do that. I think I find the broth so unappetizing because it was the last thing I ate before the magnesium citrate the night before surgery. That stuff made me so nauseous and I have a tendency to have to write off for awhile any food that makes me sick. Sometimes for a long while. I haven't been able to drink vodka since an unfortunate experience at the Rose Parade in 1983.

Same thing here... Had a horrible experience with crown at a young age and have since touched it! Scared to look at it :-)
