Can you have strained soup's in phase 1?

Ask your surgeon, but for me phase one included strained cream soups.

For me this was phase two. Definitely ask your surgeon.

I would ask your surgeon or nutritionist. Phase 1 is different for everybody. My phase 1 lasted an entire week, and was a purely liquid diet. No cream based soups. I couldn't even have protein shakes. I could use a strained soup as long as there were absolutely no chunks. I stuck to broths, sugar free jello, and sugar free liquids. I have read other guidelines where Phase 1 only lasts 48 hours. The patient then moves to Phase 2, which allows cream based soups and protein shakes.

It is all determined by your surgeon/nutritionist.

It is weird how so many surgeons are different in what they allow. Mine says liquids only (including shakes) for 3 weeks in phase 1 and then move to phase 2 where I can have like puréed foods for 2 weeks and then soft foods after that.

Strained soups were considered full liquids for me which was technically phase 2. Clear (3 days), Full (1.5 weeks), Pureed(2-3 weeks), Soft Solids(4-5 weeks), Regular (8+ weeks on) is how my diet went.

Clear means see through

I was on full liquids in phase 1 and could have soups as long as it was completely chunk free.
