Does anyone have any good Soup recipes? I am on the pre-op diet and I am sick of Campbells soup!

I usally get chicken broth and put some of my fav veggies in there. if you want a little more Protein, you can get some frozen butternut squash to thicken it a little

Simmer some cubed zucchini and onion with some chicken broth. Blend it until smooth, add a little skim milk for Protein and a touch of grated parm cheese for added flavor. If you need to thicken it you can always add a few tablespoons of instant mashed potatoes.

I just did the same thing with broccoli and plan on doing it with cauliflower and asparagus.

I also made homemade chicken broth with veggies and blended them so the texture was smooth. It was a nice change from the average cup of broth.

Give them a try...plus the homemade ones won't have as much sodium. I think you'll like them.

Take Care!

Make your own soups... I use everything I find in the fridge... no particular recipe... I love to cook.... Experiement with herbs.... that will liven things up.

I am on full liquids after sugery and found that my favorite ready made Soup is Pacific brand Sweat Red Pepper and Tomato Soup (Organic). I am not into organic but that's the only way this flavor comes. I really like it and I don't like Tomato soup. Go figure.

Do they have enough protien?

Watch the sodium in the Soups you buy off the shelf. With that said, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Cashew Ginger Carrot by Pacific Naturals and the Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato. They also have low sodium soups out now. They are soooo good. Usually found in the health food isle or organic section. Totally worth the extra money to get through the liquids, post op diet and fills... thats a lot of soup!

when I can't make my own, I love those Soups. I haven't tried the carrot ginger yet. Maybe I will get that tomorrow. My kids even love them. I put them in their sippy cups and they drink them. This is how I get them to eat vegetables. Prior to my surgery, I also used them as the base for some of my other recipes. They are great sounds to have in the pantry.

I have a recipe for roasted red pepper Soup that is awesome if you are interested. It is excellent. I also use a pressure cooker to cut down on cooking time.

Gazpacho at this time of year is perfect.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
