Cabbage Soup



Recommended Posts

My husband is making a cabbage Soup with boiled cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, green onions and canned tomatoes. He also adds a couple beef bouillon cubes. I'm four days post op. Reckon it would be ok if I had some of the juice? This will be my first savory meal since surgery. I've only had popsicles, pudding, and Jello. Can anyone recommend any cream Soups as well?

Absolutely yes. I have Tomato Soup, Campbell's has a health to-go version in a cup. Also a creamy chicken one. I also puréed their bean and bacon and a can lasted 4 or 5 meals. I made homemade split pea Soup with real potatoes and big hunks of ham and then threw it in the blender a cup at a time. Indie the same with homemade beef stew now that the doctor okayed the puréed foods because i have had no issues. They are all great. I do not have much of a sweet tooth either but I like the vanilla sugar free pudding at night. I do the pure Protein 35 gram canned shake for Breakfast to start the protein count off right. I was 11/2 and feel great. How about you?

Thanks! I was worried about the canned diced tomatoes having some sugar in them. I was sleeved on 11/7. I'm doing pretty good. Still having some discomfort with a deep stitch on the right side of my abdomen. It gets better everyday, though. I'm on clears and I can advance to fulls as tolerated until I go back to the doctor on the 20th. Then, hopefully purees! I'm still only able to take in about 2-3 ounces in a hours time so I'm having some difficulties getting all of my protein/ Water down.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
