Just got a fill



Recommended Posts

I make potato Soup with i can cream mushroom, onions, 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup od potatoe flakes. I usually have one cup of this for each meal during the first three days after a fill. Sometimes it last a week so I just continue to have that until the pot is empty. Do you consider this a bad choice of food fating. My dr makes us do mushy soup for three days. any advice would be great.

Honestly? I think its a horrible choice to eat for days on end. This is more from a nutritional standpoint than actual weight loss though.

its canned Soup, which means it contains a lot of salt and additives that soup just doent need unless you want it to last in a can for a year. Potato Flakes? What are those? Obviously not something we have here, as far as I'm aware, if you want a potato, you have to buy a potato in Australia, lol. Why would you eat flakes when you can have the real thing with all its nourishment intact?

If you're going to eat soup for a week, and I do, certainly soup is a GREAT way to get in a lot of vegies for a bandster, why not make it yourself so that it is at least nourishing and not full of salt and additives?

Try this one:

zucchini and leek soup - grate 3 large zucchini and slice two washed leeks (mainly the white part, not all of the green). In a big pot, heat some olive oil, and fry off a little bit of bacon, then add the zucchini and leeks and about half a cup of Water, turn the heat down and put the lid on and sweat it down for 15-20 minutes or so, it will kind of steam. Then add about a litre of Water and some stock powder, or use a fresh stock (broth), simmer until all the vegies are very soft. Then puree it all up and stir in either some cream, or evaporated skim milk if you really want to keep the fat down.

This is absolutely delish and it works for ANY vegie combination, last week I had left over pumpkin and potatoes from a roast dinner, so I used those, a whole lot of broccoli and cauliflower, peas and carrots. It was great, and there's still small containers in the freezer for lunches.

This is a much better choice - fresh vegies will give you a lot more nutrition than canned soup. You could probably add Protein powder if you've got some unflavoured, I've never tried it personally.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
