I ate some tomato soup around lunchtime and I've been miserable ever since. It took me well over an hour but I ate about 1/2 cup. Have I done something I shouldn't have?? I had surgery Tuesday.

Tomato soup is to heavy, stick to the Clear liquids for about 3 weeks.... The broth from wonton soup is great to get you thru the next couple of weeks .... Hope you feel better

I had tomato soup during my first week out and had no trouble. My plan called for liquids first week, puréed the 2nd, then soft foods weeks 3-4, and then regular foods after week 5. Everyone is different though. Maybe your pouch didn't like the acidity of the tomato?

Thanks! They said tomato soup was ok, but I'm gonna steer clear of it to keep from feeling this way again!!!!

You should have been on clear liquids for the first week, and full liquids two weeks after that, pureed food around the fourth week...check your food schedule.

Try only eating for 20-30 minutes. Most plans say that. Eat what you can in that amount of time and thats all. Eating for an hour is to much. Follow YOUR plan and you will be fine. Keep rereading what they recommend. It helps. Hope you feel better.

I've found this varies greatly surgeon to surgeon. I was clears on the hospital, then full liquid til my post op appointment, then soft food, and after week 7+ regular food.

This is me too! Surgery was on Wednesday and they sent me on on a pureed diet, no matter how little I eat in the 20 mins, I feel full for hours following. It's a miserable feeling, I feel for you.

My surgery was Tuesday too. I'm on liquids till next week...fortunately I have no desire to really even put much in my mouth. Not getting much protein in either tho...going to try the isopure pre made drinks as any shakes I liked pre surgery taste so sweet and nasty...yuck!! I do like the broth from chicken noodle soup but it took me two days to eat it...lol

Eat very slowly and try eating less. 1/4 instead of 1/2 cup, and take a minute or two between spoonfuls. I was supposed to have three meals and one snack but I couldn't eat very much and was concerned. My nut told me it would be okay to eat six smaller meals instead so I did that for a while. It worked well for me at that time.

Keep in mind that not only did you have major surgery to rearrange your insides, you are also healing. That small pouch is swollen so treat it gently. As you heal the swelling goes down and you can eat a little more and with less discomfort. Listen to you doc but also listen to your body. Small steps...

I can even take a small sip of water and it feels like a lead balloon sitting in my stomach!!!! I've gotten in about 15 gms of protein today and maybe 10 oz of water and that's it.

That's me too, just such an unpleasant feeling. I put a call into my PA, was told just to continue to sip, sip, sip.:-/

Tomato soup can have high levels of sugar as well.. I was going to try it once but noticed the Campbell's had like 16g of sugar and my nut said to stay under 10. So maybe it was too much sugar for u..

Just keep in mind the first three months are the roughest of them all.... It will get better over time... I'm a year out and I still have some rough days... Try using 2oz bathroom cups helps with the water and protein intake ..... Helps put your mind at ease with a smaller cup

Enjoy the full feeling, unfortunately it does not last forever!! Take advantage of it and get your Protein in and capitalize on your working out.
