Soups & More Soups?



Recommended Posts

Started my pre-op liquids. Surgery is scheduled for this Friday (5 days)!

I didn't want to do a ton of campbells Soups. I will be having them enough at home. So for lunch i'm trying to get take out soups, etc. strain if necessary for the different flavored broths.

so far....

Chesapeake Bay Crab strained

Hearty Vegetable - strained (didn't leave alot of broth lol)

Egg drop Soup - didn't strain but will probably need to after surgery

I'm usually a meat-n-potatoes gal so any suggestins would be welcome!

ok, just found out that egg drop is high in sodium, corn starch and fat. guess i'll have to make a low-sodium chicken broth version at home.

Shape shifter if you don't mind where did you buy the Chesapeake Bay Crab? That sounds really good.

Giant frozen section they have a bag with veggies & seasoning and you just add the crab. I know there are alot of easy recipes on line - its usually a Tomato based Soup with veggies OLD BAY and lump crab. I'll see if i can find a recipe link and post it. I usually just take the easy way out :) but I always add more Old Bay to the recipe. They just don't have quite enough for Marylanders Yum

Is MD crab okay? I wasnt sure because of the Tomato broth. I will be good if so because I am a Marylander and I own a seafood restaurant.

I assumed so since I was only using the broth. I wasn't told anything about avoiding Tomato base.

I also got kind of burned out on Soups during the 2 week liquid diet also! I had my surgery July 26, so I am on day 8. My doctor said yogurts, sugar free jello/ pudding, and malt of meal were fine so thats what I've been eating. I also tried refried Beans several days after surgery and they went down fine. I hope that helps!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
