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!

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
