I just had to shout I am 12 days post op and last night hubby and I went out to soup plantation where i had tomato soup. (they let me order a to-go cup instead of paying $10 for the buffet) and I took my time sipping down 1/2 cup of soup and I was sooooo full. The best part? My brain was full too! Not only was I NOT physically hungry, but I was NOT MENTALLY hungry as well. I didn't want anymore and I was not tempted by the ice cream that was 25 ft away either! I watched hubby eat and it didn't bother me. Maybe it will eventually but it didn't. I am so shocked at the fact that I have to remember to eat. I keep thinking this wont last, and maybe it wont, but I am sure enjoying it while it lasts!!

You're the first person I've seen that has mentioned buffalo. My husband and I have left red meat almost totally behind and switched to bison a year ago. He had a blockage and after that scare and his stent was in place....we really changed a lot. We both read labels!! His nutritionist said that bison was so low in fat and especially sat. fat that it was like eating skinless chicken breast or fish...it is also very high in Protein....perfect for me!!! The trick is I learned after much research, the buffalo must be nothing but grass fed, no grains at all. I order ours from a ranch in Texas and one in Wisconsin. Both ship the meat to our home on dry ice! It's soooo good!

I'd love to know where to order that bison meat...can you PM me? thanks.

Wow, that's great to read about buffalo and bison. I actually just wander down to Trader Joe's where they have frozen buffalo steaks burgers. I really enjoy eating them pureed. Tonight I had it pureed with sour cream and salsa. YUM

I wish we had a Trader Joe's around here.....I hate having to order it and paying shipping it. One of these days maybe we'll move back to a 'real' city and have something available! LOL
