Just had my first fill... don't feel any difference/ yummy soup recipe



Recommended Posts

6 more weeks until the 2nd fill... hope that one makes a difference!

Also... I don't remember who posted it, but I made the turkey taco Soup and it's friggin fantastic! I literally eat it EVERY DAY for lunch, and a lot of days for dinner. So easy, so delicious. You should give it a try!!!

Not my recipe... I got it from a post on this forum

1 lb ground turkey, browned with 1/2 chopped onion and 1/2 c chopped green pepper (I just got frozen... easy!)

Add to crock pot with :

-2 cans pinto Beans (drained)

-1 can black beans (drained)

-1 cup frozen corn (you can leave out if you're worried about the carbs but it's not very much corn in the whole pot)

-2 cans of Rotel tomatoes (they're diced with green chilis... the Rotel are actually better than the delmonte diced with chilis if you can get them)

-1 package of taco seasoning

-1 package of ranch dressing mix.

-I only added about 2 cups of Water and 2 cubes of beef bouillon for flavor... but if you want it soupy add more water

I put a spoonful of fat free sour cream in my bowl of soup and it's fantastic... even my picky family loves it. and EASY!!!!

I love that Soup but I make it with 93/7 lean ground beef. We just don't like ground turkey.

My dh hates ranch dressing but he LOVES this soup! I made it once on a camping trip. There were 4 couples and we picked a night for each of us to cook. I did this soup and they all LOVED it. There was none leftover.

How long do you cook it in the crock pot? I keep hearing about this soup and at first wasn't interested but now I think I need to try it.

Also is your doc strick on fills? My doc sayd 4 weeks between fills but if I go 2 weeks and still can eat whatever I want and as much, to call her and she will let me come in early for another fill. Maybe you should just call your doc and ask?

I left it in the crock pot for a few hours... it's all cooked by the time you put in the crock pot so as soon as it's all hot you can eat it, but I like Soups to really cook. A lot of people just put it in a pot on the stove for half an hour...

My doctor is fairly conservative with fills... slow and steady... I also have to pay for each fill so I couldn't afford to do it too often! I'll just be as good as I can and hope the next fill makes a difference... I've also read other people saying they couldn't feel their fill for up to a week and then the restriction hits so I'm optimistically waiting!!!

I just had my first fill too....and then I had my first unfill. The dixie cup of Water proved to be too much, the Dr took one look at me and said, Oops, I think that was a bit too much.

I, typically, don't know for sure how a fill is going to work for me until 2 weeks after. I don't know what it is, but exactly 2 weeks from the date that I had the fill, I either know I need another one, or know that I'm good. Right now, I'm almost 3 weeks since my last fill and am trying to decide if I need a slight unfill or if I should wait it out.

      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.
