I will start my stage 2 tomorrow and I am so looking forward to a delicious warm cream of carrots, asparagus, mushrooms or any vegetable... I am not much of a cook but have searched the web and they all mention butter and heavy cream... any subs? has anyone used greek yogurt on veggie Soups? Any ideas or recipes or tips will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Heavy cream is low in carbs so it isn't too bad for you. You could use milk or laughing cow cheese wedges for flavor I like to make cauliflower and cook it then put it in blender or food processor and add all the fixings you would for mashed potatoes. They are delicious and a great substitute to mashed potatoes since potatoes are high in carbs...Other options is too use like cream of chicken Soup for recipes. I do use real butter and milk for my cauliflower and use mrs. dash seasoning.

I make butternut squash Soup

One squash cubed

3 apples peeled and cubed

1 small onion

1 can of low sodium vegetable stock

Cook on low until soft

Then with a hand mixer to purée right in the pot. If you don't have one of the high speed hand mixers, transfer to a food processor or blender.

Then back in the soup pot add

2 Tbsp of reduced fat Peanut Butter

1/4 cup of lime juice

1/2 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped) I just use scissors

Cook for 10 more minutes and your all set.. Easy and so good

Hardest part is cutting the squash so I buy the precut if my hubby's not around ... Enjoy!

I don't like cauliflower for the fact that while cooking, it smells like trash. But do you think that when cooked how u say above that someone could enjoy these vs mashed potato? I know sometimes it takes the right way to make something taste good

1 cup skim milk

1 bottle clam juice

1 cup imitation crab meat chopped as fine as you can make it

Salt,pepper, and old bay to taste

Heat all ingredients to 125 degrees then add 1 scoop of Unjury Protein Powder cheese flavor.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
