I'll be getting my sleeve in a couple of months. I was wondering for those who have been sleeved and past all the "post op" diet how much Soup you can eat in one sitting. I love going to restaurants & with the band, I usually have a medium to large size bowl of soup (usually clear base). I'm hoping I don't have to change this. I read like 4-6 oz normal food but was wondering since soup is liquid, I could get away eating a normal serving of it.

Thanks!

For a few months post op most likely not. After that maybe. But to be frank with you, it seems like this is a bad state of mind if you are having weight loss surgery. You should not be thinking about eating the same size portion as before

It probably varies from person to person. For some reason soup feels me up super quick so I rarely eat it since I usually can't eat enough to get my protein in

Soups didnt really fill me up. But I would only eat 1/4 the cup here and there until it was finished.

Thanks all for your input. I was wondering how it was different than the lap band which I've had for the past 8 or so years.

Not a bad state of mind. I've had the lap band for 8 or so years, maintained successfully about 100 lb weight loss but am now switching to the gastric band. I was merely seeing if I can have a large bowl of clear soup like I do now. It's one of the ways I get my Water intake since the band, and it's definitely low calorie and healthy. Wish there weren't judgmental people like you in the world but oh well.

It really depends on the size of your sleeve.

And as an ex bander you will find you can fit more in due to the esophagus being less tight because of the band.

Soup is a slider food... it basically goes through the sleeve with ease, as you get further out it becomes easier to have more.

For me as an ex bander i can probably have a cup of soup with no issues at all. (Oz wise i don't know how much that is... us aussies use the metric system)

If it is a clear base, and low carb/ calorie i do not see an issue with allowing yourself this treat which is a favourite past time.

@@Sophie74656 it is not very productive to say someone has a BAD state of mind because they want to enjoy something they did previously... granted the OP will need to measure portion sizes and keep them relatively small.. but accusing them of having a bad mindset without giving proactive advice doesn't help.

I think the OP is looking for a comparison also not an excuse to guzzle down 3 bowls of soup

I have been able to get 1 cup (8oz) of soup down easily. This compares to only getting 1/4 to 1/2 cup of solid food down.

I can only take 1/2 Cup (4oz) of anything at a time (every few hours)
