Tomato Soup??
I just started my full liquids phase on my pre-op diet. One of the things that my nut talked about was tomato soup. I love tomato soup. When my wife went to the store to pick up some groceries, she looked at all ot the tomato soups and they all had sugar listed. In fact most of the commercial soups contained sugar. She was only able to find soupsa in the organic section that didn't contain sugar. Any advice on how I can handle this, short of making my own?

At week 3, I had Campbell's Healthy Request Tomato Soup. It lists on the can 2g of Protein but that is for a full cup. I added Skim Milk Plus which added 11G. So if I caculated right the can has 15G (2 servings of soup = 4 + 11 is 15). Then I divide by 4 to get 1/2 cup. So in the end I calculated it to ge 4gms.
The soup tested great and I had no issues. I should warn you that I am extremly lucky so far 4 weeks and no issues with any foods I have tried. I do make sure that i measure my foods so i don't overfill my pouch.
Good luck
Mike
