Tomato soup

[jeany]

Probably a silly question, but as a bypasser can you have tomato soup e.g Heinz on liquid diet. Up to now I have had others but just fancy some tomato but just worried if it has a high sugar/fat content.

Thanks x

Careful some tomato soups can cause dumping so take it slowly just incase. I never did but be aware.

You would be better having the weight watchers heinz tomato soup..... less sugar tastes just as nice but a little thinner.. Enjoy!! x

Hi jeany

If I’m understanding correctly you are on your pre-op milk diet. I was told that when I was on my pre-op diet that I was only allowed to have milk, sugar free jelly, and stock cubes. This was to shrink the liver to make the keyhole surgery easier I cheated slightly having clear chicken noodle soup, and clear spring veg soup. I was told by my team at surgery time that my liver had shrunk down to the optimum size for key hole surgery so that little cheat was OK, but I would be a bit more careful about something as thick and loaded with salt and sugar like Heinz tomato soup.

Hi Stavros. There are loads of different variants on the pre-op diet including mine which is 4 muller lite yogurts, 4 ww or other brand low cal soups and 200ml of milk for tea and coffee. So you were def ok with your little cheats lovely.
