Any advise on somethng I can eat that is not sweet in taste. I was banded on the 6 of jun and I would love to taste something else. Black bean soup would be to die for but I am scared. Even if I made a lquid out of it. I have been on all protein shakes for 3 weeks and I just want something that isn't sweet. :help:

Nashua Nutrition - Hot Soups

Check out this website...they have all types of high protein items but namely the soups are increased in protein, including chicken bouillon, beef bouillon, tomatoe soup, beef veggie, cream of broccoli, or mushroom, pea these all have at least 15gr of protein...Hope this helps! I totally feel your pain!! I was sooooo sick of Sweet flavors!

The juice of Campbells bean with bacon or New England Clam Chowder.

How about Progresso's selections. The soup isle is your friend.

edie

cream of wheat!

If you were just banded a few days ago, I would avoid anything too thick. I know the clear liquid phase stinks but you're almost done. I would stick with broth, as distasteful as it is, until you can have full liquids (the 13th?). Then you can have all kinds of creamed soups and such. It's 4 more days, you can do it.

Ok, I know that this is going to sound gross at first, but...

a spoonful of dill pickle juice!

It is a clear liquid. It is salty. It tastes just like a dill pickle.

Oh, an extra added bonus -- it grosses out the kids!

Enjoy!

How do these soups taste? Which ones have you tried? Is there any off taste to them? I really could live without shakes and smoothies and would prefer to get my Protein from a chicken broth if I could.

Thanks.

Any Imagine or Trader Joe soup (my favorite is corn and pepper) with a bit of feta cheese sprinkled on top.

I feel your pain, I am going thru the same thing right now. I am so tired of these shakes and just want something else to eat, but everytime I get on that scale I smile on this liquid diet I am losing about 1 to 2 pounds daily, I'm assuming its just a lot of water weight but I will accept it any way I can. Let's continue to try to be strong, I have a total of 3 more days left until I can go on mushy so I'm going to try to hang in there, Jenuse you do the same. We can do it

Campbell's Tomato Soup is always a good choice. Also, you could take some other forms of soups and blend them to a liquid state. I have tried it, and it really is tasty.

Wonton soup or Egg Drop soup, even French Onion soup at your stage.

It is a clear liquid. It is salty. It tastes just like a dill pickle.

I went straight to my refrigerator and drank some....yummy!!!!!!

Now the problem is, I gotta stop with the pickle juice or I'm going to have some pretty dry pickles!

As soon as I am cleared to, I'm heading down to the nearest Chinese place and getting wonton, eggdrop, and hot and sour Soups. I think the broth from each would be HEAVENLY! The egg drop I figure I should be able to do whole when I get past this initial two weeks, the wonton and the hot and sour I'll strain or perhaps puree.

I also see myself pureeing some French onion without the toast or cheese in it.

I am on vacation only 6 days after my surgery. My surgeon put me on full liquids right out of the hospital. when we stop to eat out i have cream soups or cooked Cereal. I am having no problem with hunger. I am so glad i had the surgery.

I didnt do one single Protein shake in liquids - I liquidised real food - I used either chicken stock or tinned tomatoes to Water down whatever I was eating, so it generally tasted like real food, but I adjusted the consistency to be appropriate with the stage I was at.

I was banded in December 05 and I didnt miss out on Christmas dinner - mine was mushed up and I had only a small amount but I sat at the table, joined in and enjoyed it as much as any other Christmas dinner - more in fact since I was able to keep my jeans buttoned and didnt need a sleep afterwards!

Really glad to hear I am not the only pickle freak out there. And yes it grosses my boys out also when I drink the juice from the pickles. But they still save it for me.
