Soup recommendations?

I looked, does not exist. They are all high carb or highish carb and low in Protein.

Your best option is to buy stock or broth and add unflavored Protein powder.

Alternatively you can buy a lowish carb Soup (good luck finding one) and add Protein Powder to it.

Almost all commercial Soups are going to use a flour thickener or something else. The carbs are high and the Protein is low.

Most Soups you buy are really trash foods, but that is another topic.

Split pea Soup is high in Protein. It's pretty much all I ate during the first week or so post-surgery. I don't know any canned Soups that are low in salt but there might be a reduced-sodium split pea soup available.

Don't worry about the relatively high carb count: its mostly Fiber and some complex starches, both of which are good for you, gently on the stomach, and very satisfying. Just read the ingredients to make sure there are no added sugars or added oils (I didn't see any with added sugars, but you might have access to different brands).

Some brands have chunks of ham, so watch out for them and pick out the ham before eating; Ham does not agree with a newly post-surgery tummy!

Bone broth is really good for you! As far as a little but if something warm, Trader Joe's has low sodium choices that are yummy. You could add some Greek yogurt to it :)

I loved Progresso Light chicken enchilada Soup. Tasted like actual food. Full liquids post op phase is not a time ago be too concerned with carbs. Get your fluids.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
