What does your program recommend? Mine does not allow soup unless I drain the broth. I cannot have nor can I tolerate cream soups as they make me dump. I am allowed thick stews and chili. IK a lot of people are allowed soups so hopefully they will respond to your question. 3 1/2 months RNY here.

Ditto tjordal3's answer. I do have egg drop soup as a snack sometimes but otherwise soup is not allowed on my program.

Well since we have the same date I know what you are saying!! I do soups and will add in more protein to bulk it up if needed. However I do more of the thicker soups and chili's. I just made bean and ham soup and that is very filling and has a ton of protein in it and I made chili and again I tend to make it thicker. Stews and the like are good too. As long as you are satisfied and you are getting in everything that you are needing then they are ok. Soups even count as part of you liquid intake as well!!! Be wise with the brothy soups that you are watching what you are having with it as it can pass quickly.

Soups are ok in my program and settle very well. If it is a very watery soup, I do drain much of the juice though. Some soups have a fair amount of protein. My favs are split pea and progreso soups ( light)

I eat soup. On occasion :) I ate tons of cream of broccoli, homemade, while I was on soft foods too.

At 2 weeks I was eating 99% FF creamy soups. I didn't strain them. If there was a chunk of broccoli I just chewed it up really good. I had no problem. I think I'm pretty lucky because so far at a little over 3 weeks I haven't found anything I've tried upset my pouch. Although I'm still eating things that are soft like deli ham, refried beans, even had a little lean hamburger. Chewed the heck out of it. My doc said it was OK this is an experimental stage. See what works for me as long as it's not hard and it's good for me.

My nutritionist has recommended that we avoid soup because its a slider food.

What does your doctor's office say?

Hi, Phoenix! Since I posted the link to the applesauce and liquids youtube video, my response to this question may surprise youMy take on it is that if the soup has the protein you need (without a lot of carbs) and you aren't having hunger issues, it shouldn't do any damage and you should be fine.

I actually have soup for lunch or dinner almost every day. I make soup on Sunday and eat it all week. It is super-thick and I don't have any hunger issues (ingredients: chicken, onion, green chillies, carrots, tomatoes, garlic, and enchilada sauce). For awhile I was eating it with crackers and my weight was up a few pounds from where I like it to be. When I dropped the 5 crackers a day my weight dropped 5 lbs in 2 weeks (no exaggeration!!)

Just keep a close eye on things to make sure your servings don't start to get bigger and/or you don't start needing to eat sooner afterwards.
