Strained Cream Soup question

[suitechicguy 105]

Do I have to strain the Soup or is it acceptable to put it in my blender and blend unitil it is completely smooth?

In the full liquid stage, it has to be strained. Once you move onto purees, you can blend it.

I just blended the stuff

a lot depends on the Soup as well, for example during my liquids stage I had cream of broccoli, and I strained out the actual pieces of broccoli because you don't want small pieces of vegetation in your sutured area of your sleeve. now in the pureed stage I just removed any bigger bits so little small things I didn't bother much with. but that's just me.

I was told not to eat Soup unless strained. Only the chunky stuff is eaten. I am supposed to eat and drink at separate times. Soup, of course, has both combined and it goes through the stomach too fast.

You mean once you were on solids? That makes sense. I had assumed the OP was referring to the full liquid diet immediately post op. During that phase, I was only allowed to eat the liquid part of Soups (strained out the solids), since I wasn't allowed solid foods yet.

I haven't eaten soup since I moved beyond the liquid phases, since it's not a good source of Protein.
