its only been 4 days post op,,, But am craving anything but clear liquids?? What would be the harm in cream soup?? Any suggestions ,,, Help!!! ????

I've been thinking the same thing. I think it would be ok as long as the soup has been strained so there are no food pieces swallowed. I think creamy soups are part of the full liquid diet, which based on the guidance I was given can start on day 3 post - op.

Well, I think the harm maybe if your surgeon has you on clear liquids and you want to do full. I was on water and broth for 10 days and lived to tell about it. Take care of yourself and that new tiny baby tummy. Best.

You are supposed to be on clear liquids? As soon as you can find a clear cream soup, go for it!

You can always ask your surgeon if you can move forward early. I started full liquids a couple days early because I had an interview to go to so I needed my brain working and the clear liquids weren't helping that. I just called and asked if I could have some milk or hot cocoa, and they said if there wasn't any other issues that it would be fine. You have to communicate what you need and what you're doing though, that way if something does happen, heaven forbid, everyone is on the same page.

I drank strained hearty soups. It gave me a variety of flavors. Examples are chicken vegetable, beef vegetable, French onion. Once strained they have the clear liquid consistency. It isn't as thick as the protein shakes I was supposed to be drinking. Also sugar free jello counted as a liquid too. It was a great treat. Sugar free Popsicles were good too.
