Liquid diet question
I am starting my liquid diet today and have a few questions. My Dad(trying to help) made a big batch of Cabbage Soup for me knowing I was on a liquid diet. The soup contains tomatoes, green beans, corn, carrots, onions, cabbage and some seasoning. He was going to puree the soup but I really don't know if that qualifies as liquid diet...any ideas? I can't find any information in my packet and have a call into the nutritionist. One week left :)

Every liquid diet requirements are different doctor to doctor, But for me I was allowed soups and other soups as long as they were free of chunks. Best thing is to check and wait for that call back, but that soupd does sound like it wlil be delish.

I could be totally off here but......my take on the liquid diet leading up to the procedure is to shrink the liver before surgery by depleting it of glycogens and toxins. Since the soup has a lot of carbs, you won’t be depleting glycogen, you’ll be adding glycogen. He means well but, explain to him that you’re on a carb restricted diet and WHY. With better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish, he can help in more productive ways. He’s really showing his concern by trying to help and wants you to succeed. That’s awesome!!
Thanks for the replies. I spoke with him and he is going to puree the soup and freez it for post surgery.
