I have my pre-op diet visit with my surgeon this week. My surgery is scheduled for October 2nd (finally!!!!).

What puréed Soup recipes have you all learned for pre or post op. I love to cook and need something besides sweet Protein shakes.

Thank you!

I am pre pre-op diet but I love to cook, too -- cauliflower is amazing whirred up with a stick blender, Cuisineart, etc. I steam it then pulverize, adding organic chicken stock to get the consistency I'm looking for. Cumin very nice, ground coriander -- and I have made a kind of "pesto" with cilantro, garlic and steamed cauliflower -- needs a little salt & pepper. Also the Indonesian squash soups -- yum. Sautéed onion, garlic, ginger then spices: cumin, coriander, etc., many recipes call for several almonds ground up for a nutty flavor, add can of coconut milk if that is ok for your food plan, then the steamed squash of any kind and stock (can be veggie or chicken). Cook down then pulverize -- very savory and satisfying. Everyone is crazy about this soup. Freezes beautifully.

one can of old el paso refried bean, 3 cherry tomatoes a steamed bag of birds eye veggies- blender the heck out of it and add water to get the soup consistency. Mexican soup. Still eat this at least once a week and it has 16 grams of protein per 1.5 cups.
