I FINALLY moved to full liquids today and I'm eating a low-fat tomato soup and I have a cream of potato soup that I'll strain out. Does anyone else have suggestions? Does anyone have any homemade recipes that you would suggestion? Thanks!

I have treid the V8 sweet red pepper soup to which I added garlic powder but it was pretty good.

Weight Watchers Broccoli cheese soup is wonderful. Tastes just like what you would get at TGIFridays.

3 cans chicken broth

1 pound of broccoli (I used the frozen type)

8 oz light Velveeta Cheese

Boil the chicken broth and broccoli until broccoli is tender. Then put in 8 oz of the light Velveeta cheese until it is melted. Season to taste.

I pureed mine after it was done, and it was delicious. By far the best soup I've eaten.

I had cream of chicken last night. I had the full fat version. It was okay.

I love having just V 8 juice with some salt and pepper but it gives me heartburn. I also have some V8 Butternut Squash soup that I want to try. I love butternut squash so I'm hoping this soup will be good.

That sounds good but I don't have any brocolli or velveeta:(

At this point I dont think you could eat enough of any kind of soup to get more than 800-1000 cals per day. which is probably too low anyway. if you keep it too low you will not lose either.

If you have been on a LOW cal pre-op diet for 2 weeks and now a week or 2 on hardly anything you body is in "starvation mode" and is conserving every cal it can. I was like that and didn't start inching down again till I got the cals up to at least 1500/day.

I looked at it this way, if all I can eat is liquids and puree crap I will be damned if I am going to worry about "fat" that's my outlook anyway. After I am on full program with fills THEN I will worry about exactly what I am eating!

I figure if this is too hard or too much BS, I will not do it long term. So as long as the scale is going down I am a happy camper and I will eat what I want - more or less, LITTLE TINY BITS, but what I want.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

One of my favorites...and easy at that..is a can of refried beans and a can of chicken broth. Whisk these together while heating...top with some cheese and it is almost a mexican soup. I also add some salsa and sour cream to it. Very filling!
