ENCHILADA SOUP :-)

I don't know if this sounds good to you or not but this soup got me through many post op days until I could eat solid food. I liked that it was thick and creamy' date=' full of flavor, and super fast and easy to make.

I can make as thick or liquid as I want by varying the ratio of Beans to sauce. I can make it as spicy or mild as I want, depending on what type of enchilada sauce I use.

The basic "recipe:"

Pour a can of your favorite red enchilada sauce into your blender. Then spoon out a similar (or smaller) sized can of (fat free) refried beans into the blender also.

Put the top on and blend till mixed well. It should be liquid enough to pour into a mug. (If not, add either more enchilada sauce or chicken broth or even milk or in a pinch, Water, and blend to incorporate.)

Then nuke the mug for a minute in your microwave and if you want to, garnish with a dallop of plain yogurt or sour cream.

(Later on when you can eat more foods you could garnish with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a few pieces of chopped jalapeño, one tortilla chip finely crumbled into bits, you get the idea - whatever Mexican food garnish you choose.)

I know right now it feels like you're stuck in this mushy limbo forEVER but I promise you it will pass and you'll be enjoying real food again, but feeling satisfied with less.[/quote']

This sounds yummy!!!

Agreed, although I wonder if this stuff would be alright? 100 cal per serving, 1.5g of fat, 12g of sugar and 4g of Protein.

I like this stuff a lot and eat one every couple weeks. Unlike some frozen yogurts I've tried, it actually has a soft mouth feel. I don't like the blueberry and cannot seem to find the raspberry or vanilla bean in my area.

None of us should be eating ice cream period.

Miso soup is good. Walmart sells it in packets and you just add hot Water. I also make my own soup. I use tomatoe soup, salad shrimp, crab meat, parsley, oregano, pepper, and parlsley. My favorite also was the Walmart brand chicken broth and the Campbell broccoli soup in the box.

i will admit afer 2 weeks pre and 2 weeks post op, the thought of soup (of any kind) does not make me happy. and i use to love soup. not anymore. (guess if i ever get fills, i will have to do it for a couple days again...sigh)

I can't wait until OCT. 7. Never looked so forward to mashed potatoes. Tired of soup and protein shakes.

We all went through this. It seems never ending, but instead of focusing on what your limited too look at what your gaining in a matter of words these days of Soup and yogurt broth are helping the new you a few days of discomfort in the scheme of things get plain yogurt and flavor it with a crystal light packet. Switch your broths around vegetable chicken and beef take the labels off your soup cans so you have no idea what meal you get this time. It will be ok you can do this. Those before have and so can you

I seen my doc today.. Banded on 9/20. He put me on soft foods.. Oatmeal etc.. Im scared i will gain some of the 19 lbs back... So soup and protein shakes will continue.. Im not sick of anything but being fat!

Hi Louisiana Lady :-)

I may be misinterpreting what you said but I think you sound scared to try eating soft foods for fear you will gain back the weight you've lost so far. You can decide what you're ready for or not but may I offer some perspective, as someone who was banded in 2003?

If your experience turns out like mine, you now have an opportunity to begin a *new* relationship with food. My band has totally taken away my ability to abuse food the way I once did. I can no longer binge or eat large portions. I now feel "Thanksgiving" full after a very modest amount of food. I used to see food as my friend but also as my enemy. I couldn't trust myself with it. It controlled me and my abuse of it was a humiliation in my life and made my life smaller and unhealthy.

But after living life with the band, food is neither my friend or enemy; it's delicious and nutritious fuel. But it's not more than that to me.

When you are ready (and you get to decide when that is) I hope you enjoy discovering the simple pleasures of the stage your doctor said to start next- eating soft foods. My hope for you is to be able to see that small amounts of healthy foods won't make you gain weight. You're going to be able to lose weight on soft foods and later solid foods and I hope you're delighted with all the delicious and wonderful and weight-loss inducing options you will have now that you're banded.

Welcome to a new chapter in your life! :-)
