Hi,

I was wondering if tomato Soup was considered a clear broth?

Also, the guy in post EGD said shakes were ok post op?

Any thoughts?

I would say tomato soup is definitely not clear. Examples of clear broth are chicken broth and miso. I was only asked to do clear liquids for two days after surgery. As soon as you can, I would add protein shakes. Also try iso-pure beverages which you can get at GNC.

your doctor should have gave you a hand out of what you can and cant have

for my WLS, tomato soup was not on my clears but on my full liquid segment.

i would ask your surgeon about shakes etc instead of listing to an EKG person

just my opinon...and shakes are your fuel/your food/your Protein...i continue

to use them every day....they taste good also

best of luck

Call your NUT. That's what you're paying them for. Tomato is not clear. But I was on clear for pre-op and on full liquids for six weeks post op. I was never so happy to have cream soup in my life.

Ensure also makes a Clear Protein Drink in Peach and other flavors. You can find it by the slim fasts, boost, muscle milk, etc in the super market!
