cream of brocoli & cheese or cream of potato (yay or nay?)

I am 4 days out, is this an exceptable mushie as long as its pureed or do I need to strain it firdt or just say NO all together? Looking for more than refried (fat free) beans & laughing cow swiss wedge lol although they have been my friend. Lol

 I couldn't have mushy foods until 3 weeks out. When I could, I didn't tolerate cream soups, anything milky. I did tolerate nonfat unflavored greek yogurt. The protein content was so great that I would eat the yogurt with a tablespoon or two of baked potato. Thinned with lofat chicken broth. Just switch the balance. Instead of a whole baked potato with the sour cream on it. Have a 1/2 cup of the greeek yogurt with the potato as the garnish instead! I haven't even attempted broccoli yet. Don't want the gas...

I would definately say no to the cream of potato and as for the broccoli, this could make you very gassy which could be painful, but some people do tolerate it. As far as straining, I didnt have to do that as long as I chewed any little pieces very very well. I did a lot of campbell's mushroom soup but it was mushroom maderia (comes in a brown container, not the cans) and it has very large pieces of mushrooms, so I pureed it in the food processor.

i am a little over a week and i eat homemade cream of potato just made the potato piece very small and they are very soft. i dont know about canned soups except chicken noodle soup, because i have never liked them.

I added skim milk and protein powder to them and made them healthier. My NUT had no problem with them early out. She said later when I can eat more I should stay away from them.

Everyone is different.  I ate homemade chicken harvest soup without the noodles and completely pureed.  At that point it was the most delicious thing I'd ever had! lol  Good luck!!

 4 days out and eating refried beans and cheese? I was only able to eat 2 oz of egg, cottage cheese, cream soups, pudding and jello. It is weird how every surgeon's stages are. some people couldn't even eat what i ate that early out.
I would agree though, the gas would probably be really bad from the broccoli.

I will be one week out tommorow, and I still have another week of just protein shakes and clear liquids!

I ate cream soups at 3 weeks and cream of brocoli was my go to meal. It was one food that didn't make me sick at all. I loved subway's soup and would get it from them.

 If you are eating commercial soup there may not be enough broccoli to matter.  I'm not sure but  I think the tough outer skin is the problem, just like you shouldn't eat potato skins until much later.  I was on a 8 week schedule for the rough veggies and fresh fruit.  I make my own soup because I don't like the salt content in comercial varieties.
