How much is too much?

I have been going on a liquid diet 2 days of every week I can consume a whole can of tomatoe soup w 1/2 cup of water added for lunch. Is this too much, since its liquid?

Why are you doing a liquid diet 2 days of every week?  Is your doctor telling you to do this?

Well as we all know our mind is our worst enemy. Im 11 months post op down 80lbs and at a stand still. Im discouraged and found the 5 day pouch test that help boost my metabolism every so ofter helping me lose about 2 lbs every 2 weeks instead of every 2 months now.

I'm sorry, I'm not a believer of the 5 day pouch test diet, so can't really advise you on how it works.  I do know though that it doesn't necessarily "boost metabolism"..... you do that through exercise, building muscle, eating thermic foods... but generally our metabolism is a constant and not really something that changes with the wind. 

I just posted on another thread a list of things to look at in your eating, exercise and medication routines that might be causing a stall.  Something there might help you figure out why you're having a slow down.  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/rny/board_id,5465/cat_id,5 065/topic_id,3716964/a,messageboard/action,replies/#29559076

As for eating/drinking an entire can of prepared soup (which equals about 12oz, I'd guess?) ... well, technically I guess tomato soup is like any other liquid and will flow straight through your pouch -- slower than water, but still it doesn't stay around for long.  BUT... eating such large portions can lead to eating large portions of other foods and is a slippery slope that can take us back to overeating like we did pre-op.  So be careful with getting away from measuring and weighing your foods or eating on a strict schedule.

Ya Ive been told about the importance of exercise and I wish I could do so without being in pain, However I have herniated disks in my neck, therastic and lumbar. I am currently in treatment for my neck, hopefully after treatment I can do something without pain like swimming.
