I haven't made any Soup in about a week as I was growing a touch weary of it. We made a big batch of the White chicken Chili instead. I think it's time for the soup again...I like having it available when I want it.

Does it freeze ok?

I am down about 21 lbs since I started around 4 weeks or so ago.

I am alternating lifting weights and aerobic exercise on alternating days...with an hour or so of mall walking added in when possible.

I made a pot of veggie/chicken Soup, without the chicken chunks. I added the green Beans, some potatoes, a few tomatoes (not too many cause i can't take all the acid) and some brown rice. Boiled it up and it was soooooo good. the veggies and potatoes and stuff just turned to mush, so it is easy to eat. I poured it all into a bunch of 1.5 cup containers I got from Walmart (pack of 5 for 1.99 i think) and froze most of it. kept 3 in the fridge, and some on the stove for today. That should keep it all from going bad. It was a HUGE pot of soup.

I didn't add all the veggies cause i am slowly trying to see what is working with my band and what isn't. this soup works well. I made a pot of the regular recipe before, but did not eat any of the veggies. just the broth.< /p>

You know, I've been reading this thread from the very beginning, and I'm so dying to join the Soup train... My situation. We're travelling over Canada and the US in an RV, we've been travelling for 3 months now, and we're not going to be settling down any time soon. We've gone gypsy. The RV is small, just a 22 footer, with a small kitchen, small fridge, small stove, small cupboards.. you get the picture. I just don't have room to make and keep the soup, I'd have to cook only a days worth at a time!!!! argh! LOL, anyways. I've book marked the link to the diet, I keep reading the thread.. and one of these days...

I know this post was started forever ago but thank youuuu funny for letting us all know about this diet! I've just used the Soup recipe and ate it for lunch and Snacks and have a healthy supper... and i must say it is delicious! My parents are sneaking bowlfulls out when they think my back is turned!

The best part for me is that i never eat vegetables and this is a FAB way of making sure i eat lots of them!

So, i've boarded the soup train! I have my ticket ready for inspection and i'm looking forward to arriving at my destination with all my beautiful lbt friends!

Best wishes to all

CHOOO CHOOOOOO!!! Ok...conductor is back. Who is doing the Soup with me? I am going out this weekend to replenish my stock. I have to say I am brilliant (in my own mind) for learning to freeze bandster portions of this and keeping it around for a quick snack and full meals. I am doing 6 meals a day, and this soup is perfect for one or many of my meals. I have also added Protein Powder to the soup to make sure that i am getting a good amount of Protein into each serving.

How is everyone doing? I know that I have lost a lot, and am keeping it off, unlike what most of the nay-sayers have said would happen. So how is it going for you?

I haven't been using it to lose weight any more than with my daily diet. But I've made the Soup, put some lean roast beef into it for Protein and frozen it in reasonable portions so that I may eat it for lunch at work with crackers.

It's delicious and I can't believe that I haven't gotten really tired of eating it. Other than the lean roast beef, I left the recipe as is so it's a really low cal/low fat lunch.

I'm not gonna discuss my weight loss. I'm still stuck, but until Friday I was too tight and ice cream was my friend.

I am done with the soup for a while. It got old for me quickly....maybe again in a few months once in a while.

Let it cook all night. It is so good this morning and this afternoon. and the bags of mixed veggies were so nice an easy! No cutting! LOL thank you schwans!!

I started this Soup diet today. I have been at a standstill with the weight for a few days and I thought what better time than fall/winter to give this a try?:hungry: It tasted pretty good and it is filling, so far. I have only been able to eat 2 small bowls today since I am still kinda heavily restricted.:cool:

Anyone else still doing this diet?:cry

Hey Housecat that sounds like a good idea, Soup. I have my own version but it is still less calories then if I ate some other stuff. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey there,

It just started getting chilly here in New England so I have started doing alot more Soup. Which is good, because I am very sensitive to my fills and tend to stay on a mushy/liquid diet for several weeks. I have been doing something similar to this, I found it on IVillage and it is Good Houskeeping's Soup Diet (www.villageonadiet.com). I find it very filling and I spice up the soup with different things so I don't get bored. Everything from Beans to kelbasi(turkey) to tofu. I am on the road for work all day, so it is really easy to fill a thermos with some soup and sip my day away knowing I am eating well.

To those of you souping it up, that villageondiet website has some great ways to make the soup different...like a fish chowder version and a curry chicken. It is a great resource for soup lovers.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
