I was craving something homey and comforting so I made some pumpkin Soup (it's rainy and cold here in Wisconsin...seemed appropriate and is ok for the post op diet)

I made my usual 8 serving recipe...haha I think it's going to become a 16 or 20 serving recipe.

So I dished up a bowl added a scoop of unflavored Protein. I got about 2/3rd through the bowl and just didn't even have the desire to pick my spoon back up. It wasn't that I felt full...it was just that I didn't need any more food in my belly.

That is so so amazing to me. (and now after leaving the table, I definitely feel full so my body signaled me before It would have become a problem AMAZING!!)laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

That is a wonderful story to hear!

Question- what kind of unflavored Protein poweder do you use and is it really unflavored?

I went to GNC and got their 100% whey Protein Isolate Unflavored variety I think it's the Pro-series...Large red labeled container. It is unflavored...but still has a taste...make sense? It will make your chicken broth into Creamy chicken soup...but it won't change the flavor of foods too drastically. I want to get a container of unjury Chicken Soup when I go for my post op on Monday.

I totally agree with you, I am so amazed at how little I eat now, instead of looking for the biggest serving, i'm looking for the smallest... I'm so LOVING my sleeve! :dance:

Hey fellow Wisconsinite!! You'll have to share your recipe for the pumpkin Soup. I had an amazing pumpkin bisque at a restaurant in Mequon last year and I have yet to taste anything as good, but I'm a die hard pumpkin fan. I had some cheese soup last night which seemed really heavy in my stomach. I was only able to eat about 3 tablespoons before I became nauseous and had to lay down. Luckily nothing came up, but with Wisconsin weather, healthy, warm comfort food is a must so please share!!

Haha, you make a good point. With just me and the boyfriend, after surgery I might have to alter my recipes for smaller portions or we will never get rid of things, lol.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
