I'm still a pre oper so I can't give too much advice except to say that my post op diet says only clear liquids for 4 days then full liquids which does include soup that is strained. 

I would call your surgeons office and tell them about this or call your dietitian. I'm not sure how your program works but I have unlimited access to a bariatric nurse when ever something comes up. 

The other thing I have learned is that once you get into the soft foods you start to feel full. Don't pu**** because your stomach is still healing and you don't want a leak.

Does anyone trying to keep to a daily carb quota count net carbs, rather than just total carbs? I'm wondering how that plays in the bariatric community.

way before my RNy I went vegan... for 6 months I ate vegan - all natural (minimally processed ) foods... in 6 months I gained 50 lbs.. even my naturopathic doc told me to start eating meat and fish, eggs.. she said  "some people are not meant to be vegan.. you are one of them.."

we hold on to 6 months because she wanted to make sure... and she was convinced that one day my body will let go ..

Yea - later on I discovered that I had insulin resistance...  and allergy to soy, can't digest corn... gluten intolerance... etc etc... 

make sure you doing that for right reasons... 

I'm 4 days post op and am not hungry at all I have been having jello chocolate Protine shake with pb2 sf popsicles Gatorade propel chicken noodle soup strained I don't like plain bullion chrystal light peppermint tummy tea sleepy time tea decaf coffee with Protine shake as creamer muscle milk water

Not me.  My bff is vegan and there's no way I'd be able to get the right amount of protein and carbs in my diet if I was maintaining her diet.
