Soup And Sandwich



Recommended Posts

I would think that Soup would be a slider, so I am worried about eating. When it's cold and rainy I love as cup of Soup with a grilled cheese. My hubs suggested we have soup and sandwhich tonight.

My mom make a yummy homemade chicken and veggie soup that I love. I figured I would take a pita and cut it in half and put some cheese in it and melt it.

Is that a bad meal? I don't want to eat sliders and end up starving in an hour.

How do you feel about Soups?

When i eat Soup, i eat it first, b/c if i eat it second, then its like im drinking while eating, and i will pb. Also its better to have a chunkier soup w lots of Protein. As for the sandwich, i would not b able to eat a pita, i would do a half of a high Protein, low carb wrap instead. Father Sams makes a good one.

Youll have less trouble getting it down, gave less calories and more protein.

Just a bit of advice from an old bandster:-)

If you make your own Soup, blenderize cottage cheese and add it to your soup, makes it a 'cream' soup and adds Protein.< /p>

I feel fine about Soups. I eat them alot because I like them. They fill me up just fine. I wouldnt be able to eat a more then a bite of grilled cheese AND Soup though... that would be too much food.

I also would have to space out the timing... soup and sandwhich would be just like drinking with your meal.

My surgeon advised that having Soup would be like drinking liquids. If I were to want to have some old fashioned chicken soup, I would need to drain away all of the broth first, then eat the chicken, veggies and noodles. That sort of ruins the experience for me, so I have just not had any.

Remember the "rule": high quality Protein first and carbs second...however you can follow that rule with soup and a sandwich would work. Soup is not going to keep you satiated for as long as Protein will.

I love Soup and eat it pretty regularly. The key with soup is to watch your portion size because it is a slider food. Also, be aware of it's fat and calorie content. Some can be really high in both.

Just because something is a slider food doesn't mean you can't have it, it only means you have to be aware of your portion size so you don't accidentally eat too much.

Yes, Soup would be a slider or like drinking with a meal. I eat soup once in a while.... hey, sometimes you just need soup but I seem to get full from it, it may not last long tho. As for the sandwich, It just depends on you. I could eat half of a grilled cheese without a problem since the bread is toasted, some people have problems with regular bread even toasty.

If I were you, I would try soup and a grilled cheese tonight. I don't believe in not eating normal foods ( i mean, i wouldn't wolf down a brownie) it is all a trial and error process to see what works for you. Keep in mind high calorie foods but I say anything goes once in a while and in moderation.

no food is off limits or (bad)

that is diet thinking

use Portion Control and make good choices

i think your meal sounds great and having this

every so often isnt bad.

sojo is right, Soup wont keep you (full) long

I love Soup. I eat it for lunch quite often. My trick is that I drain the broth as I eat it and after all the veggies and meat are gone, I throw the broth out. You get a little bit on your spoon as you eat, but not much. It also keeps me full for 3-4 hours. I usually eat the Progresso light or reduced sodium Soups. They are usually between 200-230 calories for the whole can and about 15g of Protein. I don't think I could do the grilled cheese though. I have tried it several times and it just doesn't go down for me, but everyone is different. Trial and error is the only way to find out what works for you.

But, I would limit it to half a sandwich. Grilled cheese sandwiches are high in calories and fat. It's all about portions. I don't limit any food in my diet (except those items I don't tolerate well), I just watch my portions and make sure I don't eat 3-4 servings of something. I think that is the key to weight loss. That was what I got the band for.

I had my Soup and grilled cheese last night and it was awesome. My mom's homemade soup is thick with shredded chicken and veggies so it wasn't to much liquid.

I made my grilled cheese light- I use half and pita pocket (whole wheat) and put half a wedge of laughing cow cream cheese and a sprinkle of monteray jack cheese. Sprayed the outside with I can't believe it's not butter and toasted it in a pan. It was so yummy and gooey, yet low cal.

We ate about 6 and I went to bed about 10 even worked out between and didn't get the least bit hungry.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
