Is It Bad That I Can Eat Almost A Whole Can Of Progresso Soup



Recommended Posts

I am almost 18 months out, 151 down and 90 to go. I can eat almost a whole can of progresso Soup (16oz). Is that bad? I am talking about the ones that are mostly liquid like italian wedding, not like the high Fiber chili. How fast does Water run through the stomach anyway? When i drink water it does not take me long to down like a 20 oz glass. Am i alone in this?

I wouldn't say that's "bad"....it's mostly liquid. I can generally eat more Soup than I can solid meals. As for the water/liquid...I'm only two months out and I can guzzle water....it just goes right through me. Sounds to me like you're doing great!!!!

I don't think it is bad ... lots of room for liquids to go down.

I can drink a 30 oz passion iced tea from Starbucks in less than 10 minutes. No worries, when I am eating solids, I barely get in more than 2 oz. I love it!

Soup does go down easier for sure than other things. That's why when I make soup I include a strong Protein in it, and usually, my Soups have 2 Proteins in them. Maybe a meat as well as a plant-based Protein like a grain or a legume. I have several examples on my soup blog.

I still can't eat a full cup of most Soups, if it's one of my own soups, at least. But I would probably be able to eat much more if it was a blended soup or one with not much substance to it.

I make and eat a lot of soup. :)

I'm almost 4 months out .. that's basically all I live on -- Soup SOUP SOUP ... I, too, can have a full can of soup, but usually blend it in my bullet so it's pureed since I try to have lentil soup a lot since it's full of Protein ... I usually buy Amy's vegetable lentil soup and puree it in the bullet and add some vegetable broth for more liquid and some added flavor, and then heat and have .. it's deiish! Sounds to me like you are on the right path ... keep up the good work!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
