I am on full liquids moving into mushies. 2 1/2 weeks post op now. I got so tired of the bland stuff I was eating and then I started ordering Soup to go from different places. Egg drop soup got old fast from the local Chinese place and then i tried Applebees and WOW...they have awesome soups! The Tomato Basil Soup is heavenly and so is the Broccoli Cheese(the broccoli is super soft) and there garlic mashed potatos are very yummy as well! This has saved me!:thumbup:

I also ate at Applebees today, they have a nice band friendly menu all around, I ordered the djorn chicken portebella with steamed veggies, only 550 calories and I made 3 meals out of it.

Just a suggestion.. google your favorite Soup and restaurant it comes from and then recipe... for example

sweet tomatoes clam chowder recipe....

GUARANTEE you that you will find the recipe, then you can make a big 'ole pot of it at home and save yourself boucoup bucks!

Money in your pocket=money for new clothes! LOL

Just a suggestion :thumbup:

Loved Panera during my mushies stage because of the Soups.< /p>

Most restaurant Soups are very high in sodium.

Don't do it every day.

Cambell's has a line of heart healthy low sodium soups. I add No-Salt to them and they are just as good as really Soup.< /p>

I love the Soup there!

I have never watched my sodium enough. I've always had very low BP, so never got "trained" to watch it. I guess I should start paying more attention.

I'm just really tight right now, the chicken was a little rough going down if I start to feel any pain I quickly stop and continue at next meal. I ate the potatoes to, they surprisingly went down better than the chicken :smile2:. I never thought about putting djorn on my chicken, it was some of the yummiest food I have eaten in a while, I was thinking about trying to replicate that reciepe myself. Good luck!!
