When were you allowed low fat cream soups?



Recommended Posts

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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
