I am in the liquid phase - 5 days after surgery. I had the broth from wonton Soup yesterday and for lunch today. I'm thinking of going back to the chinese place and getting hot and sour soup and straining that for supper. Do you think its too spicy? The 1st day I had the wonton broth I watered it down with chicken broth - maybe I could do that with the hot and sour soup too.

Any suggestions?

Not sure on that hot and sour soup thing. My Dr. did say to try and stay away from spicy stuff for a few weeks after surgery. he even said not to eat tomato soup or V8 juice because of the extra acid in them. Every Dr. is different and yours may tell you its okay. So I guess the best thing to do is ask your dr about eating spicy stuff and then make your decision on the soup.

I had hot & soup soup the week after surgery. No biggie. I just didn't have the solid stuff inside of it. I didn't Water it down, but maybe I should have. The taste just didn't seem right to me, but I think that was the effects of anesthesia. Anyway, I say go for it.
