I was allowed cream soups as long as they were thinned out. I thinned out potato soup with milk, and the same with blended broccoli cheese soup.

thanks for your constant fast replies
i did the same with tomato soup tonight thinned it with half water and milk and warmed it up a bit....i did choose a low sodium one though thinking the salt might burn a bit

i am now getting bits and pieces of dried skin and blood off my lips today YUK...moving around a bit does help but boy am i tired

i am also only on advil for pain...he did give me tylenol 3s but with no food in my belly a little scared they will make me feel sick...i normally dont take any meds...so too hard on my stomache....

your welcome! I found that if I drank half a protein drink (my favorite is Special-K chocolate and/or strawberry) first then my stomach wouldn't get upset when taking medicine, and I am sensitive to medicine and nausea. Maybe this could work for you? Maybe just some milk would work?
