This sounds SO GOOD! Is it from a can or homemade (gotta recipe?) :embaressed_smile:

Bloo,

Here is the recipe for the chicken-white bean-green chili Soup.< /p>

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 of a chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

2 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken but canned can be used)

1 small can green chilies - use 2 cans if you more heat in your soup

1 can white Beans, drained and rinsed

1 quart of low sodium chicken stock or broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

5 oz can of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)**

salt and pepper

-saute onion with olive oil in a large pot

-add remaining items except salt, pepper and evaporated milk

-bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes

-add evaporated milk. simmer for 5 more minutes

-add salt and pepper to taste

-you can serve soup with a little shredded cheese on top for garnish

**I use evaporated milk to add a creamy texture to the soup without adding tons of fat and calories...you can use heavy cream if desired...you can also omit the milk all together if you don't like creamy Soups.< /p>

I freeze leftovers in individual serving sized containers and pull one out of the freezer when I don't feel like cooking.

THANK YOU!! I plan on making this tomorrow :cursing:

I got a fill last week and it is pretty tight. Still getting used to this level of restriction. I am able to eat, but my portion sizes are so distorted, that I still overeat some and bring it back...yuk.

Today:

Protein Shake

Nutrisystem lunch of Pasta parmasan

some potato chips

Protein shake with strawberries

1 cup of chicken noodle Soup

Total calories : 840

Total protein : 63

I may have one scoop of ice cream later...not sure.

I have to ask, are you all full with what you eat. I have 2 cc's in my 4 cc band and I fill up but I need to eat more then what I see everyone here eating. Protein Drinks don't even fill me up. what am i doing wrong. I can eat an egg for breakfast and be full but then 1 hour later I need a special k bar or granola. If i eat two eggs I throw up. I need some food guidence, any suggestions??

Sounds like your food is moving too quickly through your band and perhaps you could use a small fill ...

      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?
