Advice needed pls with soups post op and sugar contents

[Roch]

Morning all, well with my surgery just 5 days away i was hoping to make some home made soups but as i am having a bad bout of pain i can barely stand up so making my own is out of the window.
My hospital insist on 2 weeks of liquids, so does that mean all my soups have to be clear or can i get some chunkier soups and liquidize them and add some water.
i have a few questions lol sorry to be a pain so early in the morning lol.

1) Is it def no more that 5% sugar per 100% and is that the sugar that is listed under the carbs bit(sorry if i am being thick lol)
2)When i look at low sugar custard and low sugar angel delight they have way over the 5% per 100 grms of surgar,so what is the alternative.
3) Do all my soups have to be clear soups like a consommé kind

Here is one soup i was going to order, blitz and add some water would the ingredients be ok or is this 2 much for the liquid stage.
Take care luv Roch xx

I ring the dieticians and check as reading on here all seem to recommend something different. The clear liquids at my hospital were only for the 1st couple of days.

After that I made soups out of all sort and used those, lentils, turkey, tomato, beans etc. Just 'watered' them down with ss milk if they were too thick.

Good luck x

Just spoke to my team and the info i got was very diff to what i expected.
I am not allowed yoghurt's just yog drinks, only soups have to be consistency of like heinz tomato soup and no angel delight and thin nas custard.
Am very pleased i checked up to make sure i follow their plan 100%

How u doing hun xxx

 

[galm37]

It amazes me how different hospitals are. Each team has different advice.

I was told I could eat anything that would pass through a sieve. So add milk to yoghurts etc to thin them out a bit etc.

 

[gaelic girl]

I agree there every team seems to be very different in their advice but we all seem to get there, some just appear to be more strict than others. As far as sugar goes Roch, both pre and post op i have always stuck to between 5% and no more than 7% per 100g and yes it is the sugar under the carbs bit. So so excited for you for next week xx

Great thread Roch.... if you make anything yummy remember to save the recipe for us who follow in your footsteps hun xx

 

[rybens]

I was given porrige day after my op by a dietician , cant understand why with a bypass they dont all go by the same rules but it is 5% per 100 roch on the sugar front x

 

[Miss Tickle]

Very useful thread Roch. I can't believe they don't have a leaflet with all the does and don'ts, can haves and can't haves for each stage. I'll never remember it all when (hopefully) it comes to my turn.
Good luck with your op
