So my surgeon cleared me for creamy soups so my question is if I make split pea soup in a crock pot with cheese is that acceptable?

Puréed I would guess. No chunks of any kind ask to be sure, but I was allowed that. We all have different plans. Best of luck. It can change your life

I split pea soup is an excellent choice. It was my main food during the purée stage! Make sure you do not add ham though. It's really hard on the new stomach, even when well cooked.

You may want to avoid the cheese for now. Or it hats unthinkable for you, plan on taking a Lactaid chewable tablet. A lot of people get lactose intolerant after surgery

Congratulations on your new start to life!!!

When I was in the post-op liquid phase my immersion blender was my best friend. I had split pea soup often and just blended it well... it was quite good

enjoy

I'm not lactose intolerant, but cheese is super heavy and hard to digest for me.

I am 2 weeks post op. I had pureed split pea no ham yesterday and it was good and satisfying...it does have a lot of salt though. It did also cause a little diarrhea, but the flavor of something other than broth or a protein shake was well worth it.
