slojo67 125 Posted August 10, 2012 Didn't realize this was a winter Soup, I just thought it sounded good. But I figure by the time some of us are ready for chunky soup it will be fall anyways...

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted August 11, 2012 You may want to nix the Beans and macaroni not really part of the diet for us. Adding a ground meat would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted August 12, 2012 Whatever... Since you have not been banded yet, you have no idea what to eat and what works. I have many years under my belt and can offer a wealth of do's and don'ts. You should really take the information for what it is, helpful. You might think differently once you are banded..........................good luck to YOU!! 1 KimJ384 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyvic 226 Posted August 12, 2012 It's funny how after being banded or additional fills it really does change the way we prepare our food, avoid certain types of food that may not go through as smooth as we would like it to. I really didn't realize this either until I was banded. Also, one day a food might work and for some reason not the next day. It really depends on my body, temperature, if I have been laying down for a while, if I drank a lot if liquid, or not enough. Crazy but no regrets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baba Wawa 543 Posted August 13, 2012 I found this on a bariatric for lapband website for your info i'll erase this Soup recipe if it is bothering you so much you smart ass b***h! First off, the Beans are fine, but some of us have problems with the skins...it's a great recipe and you can make it up and purée it for that stage, post op. I do use Soups, after having a stuck episode or just in the days when that sounds good. I eat the broth first, the the solids...that way I'm still following "the rules". I love soup...being banded doesn't mean giving up all the foods you enjoy, just enjoying them in a different way. I would sub pastina or stelline for the macaroni, since they are smaller and more band friendly. Adding some Protein is a great idea, chopped chicken, beef, etc works....good luck with your surgery, I'm sure you'll do fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
