I'm have a time with the choices of soups that will help me through my 2 weeks PO sleeve. I have been drinking low sodium chicken broth, no sugar popsicles and jello, Gatorade, water, and protein shakes. I was wondering if I added tomato soup, in there to give myself a different choice, would it be wise? Another thing how do you take down the 64 ozs without feeling too full. #POSLEEVEDAY5 #DOWN9LBS

Funny I was thinking the same thing . There is a bariatric tomato soup you can make from scratch or maybe a heart healthy tomato soup would be ok ?

it depends on your surgeon. I was able to do tomato soup on my liquid phase. I had to strain it to make sure it was really smooth. If it had any chunks, I would put it in the blender, then strain it. Just check the sugar content. I believe the limit my team out on me was 5g/serving. I got some from Trader Joes that was delicious.

Yeah I know of a RnY- er who dumped badly on Campbell's Tomato Soup. It does. above the limit carbs, glad Trader Joe's didn't. Wish we had a Trader Joe's in my area of Ohio!

Shoot I almost did Campbell’s but so many sugars and carbs

I got a progresso tomato soup but it has a lot of carbs 23 and sugar 9

maybe I shouldn’t try?

Is a serving 1 cup or a half cup? If its a full cup, you'll likely only eat 1/4-1/2 cup, so that would be less sugars. Do you have some canned tomatoes? Maybe put the soup in a blender with some extra tomatoes and some water or broth and blend it well, then strain it. That'll mean less sugar per serving, too. Or just water it down a bit.

Or here's a good tomato soup recipe. I wouldn't get too stuck on the type of tomatoes or basil. You could use any canned tomatoes and dried basil. Maybe a little less butter this soon after surgery. You might even just make a half serving and freeze some for later.

And another, just don't use the crunchies

And, if you want, try some unflavored protein powder (note, it will change the flavor a bit).

Good luck!

Yup I was thinking I will make my own ! I also got cream of chicken soup , it only has 9 carbs and 1 sugar per serving so that may be better overall .

These recipes sounds great ! Does anyone know if it is ok to do a soup like this on 5 days post op ? I am liquids for 10 more days before puree

Check your doc's instructions - every doc has different post-op foods allowed. If it says you can eat strained soups, then the tomato soups posted above should be OK (really well blended and strained, minus the crunchies).

I find that diluting my protein shakes works a whole LOT BETTER!! I brought the cheddar broccoli soup and added water, but Ion think I'm ready for that one just yet, so I will hold off on that one, but I did get Campbell's creamy tomato soup that I will blend and dilute with water 1st and try that today. So I can have less sugars.

Yea, I would like to know that too. Because I see and hear people post up here that they drank 64ozs of water, I wanna know where all that went?? And how? When there's barely any room in there.....

8 days PO... Tomato soup is awesome but not according to my new gut. I can't keep it in. Everyone is different. Just try them all until you find what works.

I decided not to risk it at Xmas dinner

am sticking to chicken broth ?

Where does the fluid go? Pretty much straight through, be you sleeve or Bypass, except for me with Precious Pouch and her pinhole drain out. And if you are up for 8 hours, drinking a 8 oz☕ glass. per hour or 2 oz every 15 minutes, by the time you get completed--' you will have been putting out pale lemonade colored urine. And woe be you if you finish up late in the evening, because you will be up all night, running back and forth. And that is just how,it happens!??

This is what I want to know. The first two days I could only get 8oz in of fluids now I get around 30 or so and I just feel full all day. I'm 6 days post op.
