4 Days post-op is it too soon for Bear Creek brocolli and cheese soup? I'm so worried about eating the wrong thing and having my band slip. Can someone give me advice on the right and wrong things to do? I know I need to follow my Doctor's guidelines but he does say at day 4 I'm allowed to have soups and yogurt. Ah someone HELPPP

Congrats on getting banded 1st off! As far as that type of soup I'm not completely sure seeing as I haven't been banded yet. But from what I've been reading and what my nutritionist told me for my post-op diet that the 1st week you're only supposed to be on clear liquids. But from what I've been reading here the post-op diets vary a little depending on their doctor. Personally I wouldn't, especially if there are pieces of broccoli in the soup. You don't want to cause any irritation as the area around the band is still healing. Try searching in the food threads for similar questions. Hope this helps.

I had the same soup about 1 week post op if not sooner. I was on a liquid diet but not clear liquids. I did not have a problem with it.

Strained cream soups (cream of chicken is yummy) with some extra skim milk worked well for me. Also, campbells select soups (butternut squash and cream of mushroom) are also good. Good luck

I would say strain it or puree it in the blender first. ~Mandy

I had to do clear liquids my first week, no cream soups.

i am still in my 1st week post-op and it says on my diet sheet that i can have cream soup as long as its strained first so i had some lovely fresh carrot soup Carrot & Coriander

i put it through a metal strainer first and measured out 200mls i watered it down a tiny bit but it seemed to get thinner when it was heated.

that was about 2.5hrs ago and i've had no problems.
