We propose a generalization of the Feynman path integral using squeezed coherent states by introducing a squeezing parameter into the path integral. As a result the adaptability of the theoretical model to the physical system is enhanced. Therefore, our method can be applied to any analytical and numerical approach that is based on the path integral representation. We apply this approach to the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates, which gives an effective low energy description that contains both a coherent field and a squeezing field. We derive the classical trajectory of this action, which constitutes a generalization of the Gross Pitaevskii equation, at linear order. We derive the low energy excitations, which provides a description of second sound in weakly interacting condensates as a squeezing oscillation of the order parameter. This interpretation is also supported by a comparison to a numerical c-field method.
