Liquid Stage Recipes

[drh0729 1]

I was reading your receipes and they sound great. Since you were banded on 3/18 you are a couple of weeks ahead of me. I was banded 4/2 at Mt. Carmel Dr. Choban. What are you eating right now. It's hard for me to think about blending veg. and chicken up. Any tips?

I just made a shake with

1 scoop Muscle Milk Light vanilla powder

1/4 c Light vanilla Silk Soy (to add more vanilla taste)

1/2 c 1% milk

1/4 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning

Blend all in Magic Bullet. Tastes like a pumpkin pie shake.< /p>

Here's an Egg Drop Soup Recipe I found on allrecipes.com. It's from W.J. Cory

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups chicken broth, divided
  
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 egg yolk
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
   
2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork. Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately. Once the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.

Do you just drop the egg whites in the boiling broth or mix them with the cornstarch and broth mixture?

Thank you so much for the egg drop Soup recipe. I just love egg drop soup so I am eager to try it.

Great Idea! In fact, that is how I found your post - I'm going to be on the liquid phase next week and wanted recipes in hand - Bill:thumbup:

I've made a lamb stew, with carrots, lamb chops , onions, and some white beans- given hubby all the meaty bits and strained the juicey soupy bits and watered down with a lamb stock cube.. very tasty.. (?)

Oh yeah- I have another couple of ideas..1. sweet potatoe and coconut soup.. Just fry lightly one chopped onion, add three or 4 peeled chopped sweet potatoes and cover with water.. cook till soft and add can of coconut cream or milk (hide a bit of your protien powder in there and blend out the lumps in a blender.. salt and pepper to taste.. yummy!

:tongue2:

2. We have something called 'inocente smoothies' here in UK -Sure you habe something similar (?) and they do kids lunch box ones in tubes like cartons.. Well they freeze into the most amaxing slushies and are full of vvitamins and have about 100 caloreies.. I reckon they are a winner for the summer!!

Hi,

Not sure if this has been posted before but here you go:

1 tub fat free yogurt

2 packages sugar free Jello

Prepare Jello according to package. When the jello is almost set, add tub of yogurt. Blend with electric beater until well combined. Regfridgerate until set.

It makes sort of a mousse.

Yum!

I have to say, after reading thru this thread, I am kind of surprised at some of the things some of you are allowed to have ..or allowing yourselves to have. I guess it all depends on the doctor and nutritionist ..or what you feel you can "get away" with. My nutritionist would pop a vein in her head if she saw some of these recipes ..do you guys ask before making these things? I'm not trying to be a big downer or anything, and to each their own, but after all we go thru for this, I can't see eating some of these things, I don't care how hungry I am. I can liquify a Snickers bar in a blender, but it doesn't mean I should eat it.

On the other hand, some of these recipes sound great and quite healthy and filling.

Pre-op I had to be on a 2 week diet of Optifast shakes and Water, only.

Now, post-op I have to be on clears for 2 weeks ..which consists of Water ..lots and lots of yummy water ..watered down juice and low sodium broth, with the addition of whey Protein Powder.

Then I have to be on 4 weeks of full liquids which adds skim milk and watered down plain yogurt and strained low fat Soups to my diet.

It is harsh and will continue to be harsh, but I have lost over 18 pounds in 18 days and I somehow feel that in having a very strict diet and small list of what I can have, I will have a better chance at success and a nice little kickstart of weightloss to keep me excited about all this yummy yummy water LOL.

I agree with you many of the receipes above are not healthy. Canned Soup is very high in sodium and my doc said you dont want hight sodium

I am very carefull when I cook and watch cardbs, sodium and caloires.

Just be carefull on what you eat
