So i'm on stage 2 cream soups and such, would cream of potato be ok with the potatoes strained out or blended???

We only had liquid stage and purée stage. But, we were allowed to strain and eat any cream of soups during the liquid phase. On purée, I just blended the stuff up in the soup and ate that. Also if you can fortify your soup with instant milk flakes (I use Carnation) you get a protein boost.

I blended up the soup then passed through strainer.

I got outback potatoe soup no cheese no bacon. It was glorious.

4 oz is like 179cal. I ended up doing 1/2 soup 1/2 milk.

allons-y

1. I was on clear liquids the first 3 days now I can have strained soups and stuff as long as they r milk consistency then I can move to softs I guess like egg salad and refried beans on day 14... im tryin the strained cream of potato it def tastes yummy!
   

I got chicken tortilla soup also from my fav resturant. They make it pureed & then put chicken chunks & tortillas on top so I passed on those. I then thin it out w/ the swanson chicken tortilla broth & strain it.

I know my paperwork says low fat- fat free soups but i only put away 1/4 to 1/2c so its like 200cal or so.

F it I'm going for flavor.

My day is less than 15g fat & about 400 cal on average.

Cream of potato or tomato soup? What post op day did you put this in your diet?

Im on day 5 I could have cream soups mixed with skim milk or water starting day 4...i can have tomato also

It didn't hurt? Did you thin it a lot?

Not at all..it was condensed so I just put a fourth of the can milk and three fourths water. Went down really well! Gonna do cream of chicken tomorrow, only got one protein drink in today though.

I want textured food... It's been 3 weeks on liquids but only 6 days post op

Totally feel your pain...I had surgery monday and had a 2 week liquid preop diet. Soon enough you will get textures that what I keep reminding myself
