Butternut Squash Soup



Recommended Posts

Got another question.......Has anyone tried the butternut squash Soup? It sounds so gross, and smells even worse, but it is SOOOOO good. I'm going back to get somemore today for after the surgery when I can eat mushies.

I was so excited for squash Soup but I tried it, and hated it -- no idea why I love squash! My mainstay in the mushy & liquid phase was pureed chili with a small dab of sour cream and guacamole on it............I did eat alot of squash though. Just not in soup form. Maybe I tried the wrong one......................

I LOVE squash soup! Any kind! The absolute easiest recipe (besides buying ready-made....) is using canned pureed pumpkin. I love Indian food so I make mine with curry and a pinch of garam masala. It is so tasty but right now, I'm so sick of liquids, I don't even want that. Butternut squash, Acorn squash, even cucumber! Try them all!

I just got done eating some, no kidding. I buy Campbells Selects...love it !! It kept me sane during the liquid stage / mushie stage.

Whats really good is Acorn Squash. Cut in half, take out the seeds and stringy part. Bake upside down on a cookie sheet 350 degrees for one hour. When its done scoop it out and you can add salt or butter to it. Mash it up and viola! Its out of this world.

  1. <LI style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #000000">In a large saucepan, saute onions in margarine until tender. Add squash, Water, bouillon, marjoram, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to boil; cook 20 minutes, or until squash is tender.
  2. Puree squash and cream cheese in a blender or food processor in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan, and heat through. Do not allow to boil.

I actully par boilded the squash so it would peel easier.

Yes, the Campbells (umm, umm, good!) is a 2 serving carton. All of the different flavors are good. :hungry:

Yes, its in the little gold boxes. I didn't care for the mushroom or tomatoe one but the butternut squash one is delicious IMHO.

When I was on full liquids, butternut squash Soup was a staple. My favorite was Trader Joe's, and I would add in one cap of red wine vinegar and some garlic powder and sea salt. Yummm....

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
