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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
