Hello i have a food question..

Hello!
Im post op day 7 and i started full liquids on sunday. My question is Im allowed to have healthy request cream of mushroom soup strained, how much do you eat? the seems awfully big!

Thank you all in advance!

Casey

Yes.. Just eat 1/4 cup and see how you feel. It is Liquid so you may be able to do a 1/2 cup.

I am post op day 12. My guidelines for full liquids included fat free cream soups & no more than 2oz at a time. I just used my baby spoon & ate what I was comfortable with, sometimes that was 1 oz.  Every meal guideline seems to be different, so the best advice would be to check with your NUT.

there are really no amounts listed in my book, just a daily total of 48-64.
I go see the dr tomorrow, i just was wanting some soup!

Thanks!!

I agree with the 1/4 c or 2 oz ideas.  Take it slowly- it might be uncomfortable if you don't.  Good luck.

i can tell you what my doctor told me to try and it was great!!!  bean and bacon made with can of milk and half can water pureed it was awesome-also got extra protein with beans n milk! 

I agree with the poster above me - the bean with bacon pureed was very good.

I was only allowed to have a total of 2 oz per meal, 3 times a day. So I would eat 1 oz of soup and 1 oz of cottage cheese (or applesauce, or some other pureed/mushy food).
