When were you allowed low fat cream soups?

I was sleeved a week ago today. None of my post op dietary stages list the low fat cream soups. I'm getting in my fluids and protein no problem, but I feel hungry, like I need something with a little more substance. It's not even head hunger, as I have never eaten cream of chicken soup in my life. It never appealed to me. I'm getting a little cranky today. When I was discharged from the hospital, the nutritionist said that this coming Wednesday, I could start Stage 2, or "mushies," as she calls it. She mentioned Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce. That leaves one more day after today until I can have some form of food. I've been relying on broth, sugar free drinks, water, protein shakes, sf jello and sf popsicles. I should have called her today and asked about the cream soups.

On my plan, strained creamed soups came in at Day 10 (at the same time as yogurt, sugar free pudding and applesauce).

My bet is you can have them Wednesday with your "stage 2" food.

Good luck!

Never, my Dr said no cream based soups, too high in calories, not enough protein.

We're sleeve buddies! I was one week ago today, too. I've been allowed strained cream soup "with no particles" since day 3 but have only tried it once as straining to a smooth consistency wasn't easy. Starting Wednesday (day 10), I'm allowed "pureed soup and add a dollop of sour cream for flavor." I'm encouraged to mix protein powder in the pureed soup.

Thank you. My paperwork doesn't address soups at all, except broth. This helps clarify things for me. I got the 98% fat free cream of chicken soup, but haven't tried it yet.

One of my very favorites was split pea soup that I thinned with a bit of Fairlife nonfat milk and ran through the Magic Bullet to make sure it was really smooth. This was about 10 days out from RNY. Not sure if it's different for sleevers.

My doctor said no cream soups as they lack protein and have a large caloric intake, and carbs. He calls them a slider food.


I also was allowed creamed strained soups about 6 or so days out. Make sure to mix some flavorless protein powder with them.
