I was craving something homey and comforting so I made some pumpkin Soup (it's rainy and cold here in Wisconsin...seemed appropriate and is ok for the post op diet)

I made my usual 8 serving recipe...haha I think it's going to become a 16 or 20 serving recipe.

So I dished up a bowl added a scoop of unflavored Protein. I got about 2/3rd through the bowl and just didn't even have the desire to pick my spoon back up. It wasn't that I felt full...it was just that I didn't need any more food in my belly.

That is so so amazing to me. (and now after leaving the table, I definitely feel full so my body signaled me before It would have become a problem AMAZING!!)

mmm...pumpkin soup sounds wonderful!

That is a wonderful story to hear!

Question- what kind of unflavored protein poweder do you use and is it really unflavored?

I went to GNC and got their 100% whey Protein Isolate Unflavored variety I think it's the Pro-series...Large red labeled container. It is unflavored...but still has a taste...make sense? It will make your chicken broth into Creamy chicken soup...but it won't change the flavor of foods too drastically. I want to get a container of unjury Chicken soup when I go for my post op on Monday.

I totally agree with you, I am so amazed at how little I eat now, instead of looking for the biggest serving, i'm looking for the smallest... I'm so LOVING my sleeve! :dance:

Hey fellow Wisconsinite!! You'll have to share your recipe for the pumpkin soup. I had an amazing pumpkin bisque at a restaurant in Mequon last year and I have yet to taste anything as good, but I'm a die hard pumpkin fan. I had some cheese soup last night which seemed really heavy in my stomach. I was only able to eat about 3 tablespoons before I became nauseous and had to lay down. Luckily nothing came up, but with Wisconsin weather, healthy, warm comfort food is a must so please share!!

Haha, you make a good point. With just me and the boyfriend, after surgery I might have to alter my recipes for smaller portions or we will never get rid of things, lol.
