I have spent a lifetime avoiding anything to do with chicken soup,like the plague. The very idea of chicken soup in any form was revolting to me. I am in my post surgery liquids phase. I am to not have anything that doesn't easily run through a wire strainer. That thought alone is somewhat gross to me. Today i gave in and decided to bite the bullet and try a cream of soup. I chose Campbells Cream of Chicken with Herbs. I thinned it way down with skim milk and warmed it. OMG its absolutely delicious! How is it possible that a persons taste buds can change so drastically? I mean seriously, to go from utter disgust to love! Bizarre. I will take it happily. Now instead of dreading i look forward to discovering new things i will enjoy while smiling because I honestly don't miss anything i can't have. Yay sleeve!!!'

I was that way about milk and those protein shakes did me in. I went in not liking them and went out not liking them though. I too was on the strainer diet and since I had my hatred for protein shake, I ate lots of soup. I found that Chick-Fil-A had the best chicken soup but I only ate the juice. The last week of liquids that is all I ate. I bought a large bowl and ate the juice for 2 meals and then my husband ate the noodles and the chicken. So you might try that for a change.

Thanks for the tip! I hate the shakes too!

Egg drop soup.

The first time I felt ready to "eat" after my surgery, I had chicken broth and it was just about the best tasting meal I'd ever had in my life!! Lol...
