I tried to eat a scrambled egg the other morning - took tiny bites and chewed until there wasn't anything to chew - and it still gave me that stuck feeling ... so a friend suggested egg drop Soup.

I made it last night and it was delicious - and VERY EASY. Here's the recipe I used

3 Cans reduced sodium chicken broth

3 stalks of celery (chopped)

1 pkg. soft tofu (drained; room temp)

4 eggs (whipped)

I put the broth in a pan, added the celery and cut the tofu up into tiny squares. Brought all of that to a boil for 10 minutes ... turned off the heat and then swirled in the eggs to make "ribbons". I didnt finish it until about 11:30 last night, so didn't taste it. I took it for lunch today and it was VERY GOOD. I have enough for probably 5 more meals, so if you don't want that much left over, reduce recipe accordingly.

I think you'll find that eggs and bread are overly filling. Uncomfortably full. I don't know what it is about sleeves and eggs, it's not that people do not tolerate them they are just overly filling.

I have been having the boiled egg and cottage cheese mixture for breakfast and one small egg with 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese is just about right for me. It goes down well and packed with protein. It is my favorite thing so far.

I don't even really like eggs -- however, I was able to eat more of this soup than I have been able to eat of anything else. I can eat one sm. egg yoke with cottage cheese - and can eat about 1/3 of 1/2 cup. I find that I simply don't enjoy eating anything, no matter what it is -- I hope this passes when I'm on solid foods.

Now I get told to be careful how much tofu I do eat as it has a lot of estrogen in it !~ I can't win for losing.

No, soy does not have a lot of hormones in it. You'd have to eat the stuff by the truck load before it would cause a problem.

I asked my NUT about that and she was very clear, it's not a problem unless you eat an all tofu diet.

SOUP was good!! VegasAngel did a great job making it!!

I'll be over in October for some of that soup Ms.V.Angel!! I get to your town every 3 or 4 months.. My husband and I love coming there.. no we don't gamble much, but we do play BINGO!! We stay downtown on Freemont. Used to stay on the strip,but love love love freemont street and the lights!

Alrighty then, just let us know when you're in town. I enjoy Fremont Street too. If we decide to go out of our area, Fremont Street is generally where we end up -- more to see/do than on the strip, IMO.

I love to play BINGO

LOL me too!!

we play at the Plaza all the time.

We are coming for a classic car auction in October. It should be great fun!

Sounds like fun - if you want to meet up, PM me with the details when it gets closer to the time -- we should be in town in October.

Hi Vegas Angel, do you blend the Soup up and at what point of the post-op diet is this suitable for? I want to give it a try as never had anything like that before and can easily get hold of those ingredients.

Thank you

No there's nothing in there you need to blend up - the tofu is super soft and if you cut it small enough it will mush right in your mouth. I ate this on full liquids! Hope you like it - it was yummy.
