Surgery is set for the 18th of December!

I started the pre-op diet a week early because procrastination has yet to do anything for me … LOL!

Today is day 2 of the pre-op and I'm reading through the diet guidelines my doc has given me. It starts with today and goes all the way to week 20 of post-op!

The most exciting thing I saw for early on menu options is soup! I love, love, love Soup and this is the PEFECT time of year for soups!

What kind of Soups hit the spot for you!?!? Did you buy canned versions or go homemade?

Last night my hubby heated up a can of beef broth and it was terrible … the poor guy took one look at my face and we both laughed … total fail! LOL!

An hour later my Mom stopped by to visit and said she was on her way to pick up Chinese food for her and my Dad … yeah, thanks mom … anyway … she returned 15 minutes later w/ a big quart of wonton free wonton soup … just the broth! I enjoyed a cup of it and saved the rest. Yeah!

Now, I'm curious what others have done and/or are doing … if you have recipes, please share!!!! I'm thinking of making a cream of avocado soup … smooth, thin, and healthy!

Thoughts!?!

I bought creamed soups then I made my own even when I could eat soilds I still made my own and did it twice a day and lost weight. It wsnt till my 3 rd fill did I feel I was getting help from the band now I do and just have to be careful on what I choice so it doesn't get stuck. Good luck

I had a creamed, butternut squash soup for lunch today and I save the other half for dinner ... delicious!!

I'm looking up recipes and inventing some of my own so I can start a collection on my blog ... I love to cook so this will help keep me in the kitchen as a 'good girl' ...

Success!!! I posted my Cream of Avocado soup recipe on my blog! If anyone tries it out let me know what you think!

I drizzled a little bit of low-fat sour cream on top and it added an additional light and creamy flavor. Yum!
