What kinds of soup have you found to be ok for the liquid diet? Just broth or anything else?

On my clear liquid diet, I don't know about you but the broth got really old, really fast. The store bought stuff just isn't very yummy. What I found that helped me mix things up. Steak-n-shake vegetable soup - strain out all the chunks and it's a yummy veggie broth. Panera Bread chicken noodle soup - same thing, strain and enjoy the broth. Those are a couple things that helped me get through.

There is a jarred boullion called Better Than Boullion and you just mix with Water. Has a good flavor. I have also used Cup a Soup or Ramen Noodles and just ate the broth (NOT the noodles). Any canned soup with a broth base can be strained as well.

Thanks!!! I should also clarify that I am post op full liquid stage.

Then you have more options (yay). My doctor allows any soup (no beef) as long as it's pureed and strained. This includes creamy Soups. I don't love canned soup, so I got some chicken and dumplings prepared soup from the salad bar of my grocery store. I blended and strained it and it was so yummy:) I look for those kinds of soups (already prepared on the salad bar or at a restaurant). Once you blend/strain, you can keep the rest in the fridge and enjoy for a few days.

I'm also allowed s/f yogurt, no sugar added applesauce, no sugar added fudgesicles, so I've been eating less soup lately.

I've been doing tomato, cream of mushroom and cream of chicken. Just strain out the chunks. Low fat for all of them. Oh and I tried broccoli cheese to same thing strained out

For full liquid could we have Paneras broccoli cheddar and strain chunks? That's my favorite soup!

Yes you could totally do that!

Split pea which actually has protein

I was allowed lowfat cream of chicken soup with protein powder (strained of course). Oh it was heavenly during that time!

During liquid stage I had cream of chicken, mushroom + broccoli (strained), cheese. I alternated each day. Had no problems.

4 days post op and I haven't lost any weight. I am on all liquids. Am I doing something wrong?

Probably very swollen still. A lot of people even gain coming out of the hospital
