Take it with a grain of salt. It just seemed interesting to me when I ran across it. I might give it a shot to see how well it works. It seems to me that it would be a lot of Water weight lost, but they say you can repeat it the next week and get the same results, and can continue to do the diet over and over till you are satisfied. We'll see.

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?

how much have you lost on this diet in how much time. I am planning on starting this tomorrow.

Cooking up this soup right now and it smells WONDERFUL!! Will be starting this first thing in the a.m.

I'm jealous, I think I will be fixing my ground turkey, cabbage soup. Yummo hehehehe

My doctor does not require a pre-op diet unless he determines at the consultation that the liver is too fatty. My problem is that my consultation is scheduled the DAY BEFORE my surgery. I am a teacher so if I don't have this surgery on the Aug 9 schedule date I have to wait until Christmas (grrr). So my question is, has anyone successfully used this as a pre-op diet? I tried drinking just drinking slimfast shakes today and thought I was going to rip my boyfriends hands off when he was eating dinner! Any advice would be great!

I've been on this before and it worked great - any weight reduction before your surgery is a bonus so if you want to try it - what do you have to lose? (HA HA) Starting any pre-op diet is difficult but if you get yourself into the right mind set you can do it. I did straight yogurt for 2 weeks (I am sick of yogurt even to this day 11 months later) but I did it as well as lots of others on the site.

Good luck and welcome aboard!

<p>I am starting this today to kick start my weight loss again as I havn't lost anything in two weeks. I will come back and post my weight loss to make me accountable.</p>

day 1 199.98lbs

I started this diet yesterday. Had to eat out last night so I thought the cabbage soup from Big Boy would be pretty close. Ate fruit and soup.

Today is harder, ate 1/3 cup of soup for bkfst. (i'm tight in the a.m.)

eating canned carrots cause the raw ones go down a little harder.

I didn't read the instructions well enough and I ate 1/2 a banana last night. OOps!

I'm worried about my protein, any suggestions?

Hi Mary....I'm on day 2 today and must say I didn't have Breakfast today, a bit early for soup, I had some at 11am. I am not going to worry about my Protein this week and thought if I do it next week I might add some meat to the soup, don't know if I will be able to stick to the diet next week as I go for a fill on tuesday, I might make the soup a blend it to liquid, don't worry about the banana it wont hurt.

Day 2 196.24lbs

Well I'm down 2.5 lbs. from Sunday. I'll be honest and I have cheated. I couldn't stand it any longer and had 5 reduced fat wheat thins last night!

I'm sure glad I didn't have a pre-op diet to follow before surgery, not sure I could have made it.

my weight was the same today, I haven't cheated yet, I am determined to get some weight off before my holiday in November. I didn't have a pre-op diet either luckily as I think I would have cheated too.

Hello all,

Maggii and Dems..... how is your progress with the soup? Did you last the 7 days? Very curious about this recipe .....might want to give it a 3 day trial.

Thanks a million.

hmm sounds interesting
