I feel rather stupid asking this but pinky swear I searched the forum on my iPad and I didn't see an answer.

So once we start solids, we can't drink liquids with our meal. 15 mins before, 30 mins after etc I get it.

But how do I eat Soup? I am absolutely expiring for some Korean soondubu tofu soup. The best parts of the soup are the fiery spicy broth, and the extra silken soft tofu and the yummy beef strips in it.

What order do I eat these in?

Girl I remember going in circles about this one.

It's a solid that slides! It won't stay with you as long as a nice piece of meat. But hey when you need hot and sour soup you need hot and sour soup! Or wor won ton

Oh phew! You made me feel less stupid thank you! I was like, "this is NOT rocket science, you can figure this out". Cool! So as long as I don't use it as an excuse to eat again later or exceed my calories, I should be good.

As much dang soup as I have had to eat over the last 5-6 weeks you'd think I'd never want soup again, but I love soup

I love soup too.

It is good to eat mostly the stuff in it (as opposed to the broth) though..

That way it stays a bit longer.

I also have trouble figuring this one out. I love Italian wedding soup from the local grocery store. I can drink the broth and eat the meatballs and have no trouble the thing that keeps me full longer is that I make sure I have a good serving of the meatballs and spinach in my bowl

15 minutes before your meal...try 30 minutes before your meal and 1 hour after kid......15 min. is too short..it will interfere with your sleeve.....helping the food go through faster and or filling you up to soon.....I know I have tried it your way and found it is worth it to wait the extra time before and after eating....to get the most benefit out of what you eat......smiles to you

Thanks for asking this question. We seem to be on the same type of food schedule. I have been thinking about hot and sour soup for the past 2 weeks. Can't wait to try some next week.

What about eating the meat, veggies, tofu, etc. first, and then saving the broth for later in the day? You get the flavor when you're eating the "stuff", and if you love the broth, have it for your next meal.

Oh wow, I'm glad you told me! I'd have been washing my food out and then wondering why I was hungry. There is so much to learn! I read all the time but somehow still manage to miss things. Thank you!

Actually tomorrow I will post a recipe for a soup that had hot and sour flavor...but nothing but egg in it that you can have on full liquids. We were dying for some so decided to try and it worked out quite well.

That would work! I like that idea.

You have great recipes. I'm following you on Pinterest to see all your recipes. Thanks for posting them.

my surgeon doesn't allow soup because of the whole "no drinking with your meals" thing. He says it's the same thing and we shouldn't do it. Luckily I'm not much of a soup-lover so I don't miss it.

Are you Ganegirl on Pinterest? Would luv to check out your ideas.

I'm Statgamer on there. Those are not my recipes per se, they are just ones I found. Most of the ones I post here on my blog are ones I either invented or modified from other complicated recipes. I don't do complicated, I like simple recipes with lots of flavor so the ones here as well as on Pinterest are easy ones.

On Pinterest, if you follow my small bites, Paleo, pressure cooker, and crockpot ones, Mostly those are WLS friendly.

I am looking forward to that recipe. I love hot and sour soup
