Recommended Posts

I finally found the recipe I was looking for a few days ago!

Ingredients

3 lbs fresh broccoli, chopped with stems discarded

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

2 cups fat- free milk

1/2 cup reduced – fat cheddar cheese, cubed

Method of Preparation

1. Place broccoli, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder in 4-quart or larger slow cooker and add enough Water* to cover.

2. Cover and cook on high for 1 – 2 hours.

3. Add milk and continue to cook for 15 minutes

4. Finally, stir in cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted.

* To add more flavor, try using a store bought low-sodium chicken broth.< /em>

Would this Soup be something that someone could have post-op on the full liquids stage if after the broccoli was cooked and before the cheese was added, you put it all in the blend and chopped up the broccoli and then added the cheese? I will be sleeved two weeks from today and am just trying to get some ideas so i don't get bored!

Double check with your doctor and./or dietitian, but I think as long as it is blended to a smooth consistency, it would be okay.

That sounds very yummy, I bet my husband would love it, too.

I just had it for dinner and it was really good. Next time, I'll probably remove some of the broth before I add in the milk and then blend up a portion of it before I add in the cheese. It is a little thin when prepared as written, but still very tasty!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
