I want to Know if instant soup is acceptable, I want to know if I can have 8 oz of the soup liquid?

I am assuming that you are pre-op. Correct me if I am wrong. More information is really needed to answer your question effectively, but I will take a stab. Also, keep in mind, no advice here should take precedence over the advice of your doctor/NUT.

If you are on a basic pre-op diet, instant soup should be fine. I would try to find a lower sodium one to keep your levels from skyrocketing. If you are on the liquid phase, you should strain out the little food bits as they aren't liquid of course. The broth is really what you should be aiming for.

Post op, you will have to adhere to a liquid diet for at least a few days to allow your new stomach to heal. The same guidelines really work here as well. For as long as you are on the liquids only diet, strain out the food bits. Once you are able to have full liquids, you can blend this up if you want.

If this instant soup has noodles, etc, you probably want to strain that out. Bullion works just as well, and there is nothing to strain out. I heated up some water and dumped a chicken bullion in it. If I decided that I wanted a bit more flavor, I would add some chopped cilantro to it. I would strain out the cilantro, but just wanted the flavor.

Anyway, good luck on your journey!

What's the verdict on lipton soup post op, assuming you don't eat the noodles? I know thst stuff nutritionally is basically pure salt, but it's simple and sodium has never been a problem for me
