Question:
A question about Tomato soup..
I had my surgery about 41/2 weeks ago through the BTC in Michigan, and I know the dieticians there told us to avoid tomato soup because of the sugar content, but preop I loved Tomato soup so much and the last few days I have had an intense craving for it. Is there anyone out there who went ahead and tried it anyway? I know everyone is different, but I was wondering how did you react? — Kris T. (posted on February 21, 2003)

I had ALOT of tomato soup in the beginning, and never had any problems with
it, if your going to try it make it with water not milk and just try a few
teaspoons then wait about 10 minutes if all is well try a few more
teaspoons and wait again for 10 minutes or so. If you don't have any
reaction to it by then it should be fine. Just my suggestion ;)

I know several people who have eaten tomato soup from the beginning. One
adds cheese and one adds tofu for protein.

I started eating it during week 2 - wouldn't have made it through the
beginning without it!!

I love tomato soup also, but shortly after I came home from the hospital I
tried it and it made me dump. I couldn't figure out why, until I read the
label, you just don't relize that sugar is in so many things.

You can seriously reduce the sugar content if you make the soup from
scratch. Just a thought...personally I have done fine on the canned stuff
made with milk and added powdered milk for protein.

I was given creamy tomato soup at the hospital the day after i had my
surgery. My diatitian said to always add milk or part milk and water to it
to up the protein in it. I havent had a problem with it. I buy campbells
tomato soup only. I havent had any dumping from anything yet. I'm on my
5th week post op. good luck, all i can say is try a little and see how you
react to it.

I have eaten tomato soup since my surgery in July, 2007 and have never had
any problems with it.
