I just had tomato soup oh my god it was so good, finally something that I like! I was wondering do you could the soup as a liquid when tallying how many oz of liquid you're taking in?

My Dr said the protein shakes count toward that so I assume this would too?

Also, since soup is a liquid , we shouldn't habe to do the whole no drinking 30 min before or after right?

I felt the same way with tomato soup. It was divine! There's no restriction on drinking while on full liquids.

From the paper work I have soup counts as a liquid and no, you do not have to wait to drink 30 min before or after.

My nut said still wait 45 minutes to drink.in my opinion, I believe this is to help to get in the habit of not eating and drinking together which expands the pouch and continue pre surgery bad habits.

The fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the water that you drink each day. But also the water you drink when you take your vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the protein shakes. It is the water component of the soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.

Be forewarned that tomato soup can contain a bit of sugar. A serving (one half cup) of Campbell's tomato soup contains 12 grams of sugar. This is due to the fact that they add high fructose corn syrup.

Thank you everyone! I know tomato has sugar I will make my own in the future but for now I'm only having 2 to 4oz a day if that so I'm not too worried. I'm just glad I feel like I'm actually nourishing myself lol!

I would much rather eat chicken salad with no carbs but on full liquids it's not allowed. I was so happy to sip something that wasn't cold and wasn't broth. I'm allowed cream soups and like you said, we are getting in so little of it. Add protein powder and it's a nice change.
