No, soup will not apply. Soup is like a liquid, so you will be able to eat more of it. You also need to add more substantial foods to your diet. Such as cream of wheat, oatmeal, yogurt (no sugar added), sugar free jello and/or sugar free popsicles. If you haven't seen a nutritionist, I would highly recommend it. Part of my consultation with the surgeon included five classes with a certified nutritionist. This helped me immensely, she covered all food we needed at each stage of our recovery. Also, all bad sugars, carbs and ect.
