15 bean soup / Morningstar Farms



Recommended Posts

For some reason (I have absolutely NO idea why), I was about to say that anything would be improved with an addition of choc/pb Protein. Then I thought about it. THAT would be utterly and completely disgusting. Imagine, chocolate and Peanut Butter flavored bean Soup with hamhocks and tomatos. Yack! :phanvan :rose:

GROSS....

But then again sme people eat the weird things....

The grossest thing ie had is he barium crap we all had to do it and for some strange reasn i got used to it:confused:

Barium is something I've never had, but I've watched people choking it down.

Laurens - the patties are GOOD. I always have a box in the freezer. I just toss them in a skillet sprayed with Pam, and fry utnil they're a little crispy on the outside. I was soooo pleasantly surprised the first time I had one. They've become a staple.

My barium stuff wasn't that bad.. I wouldn't drink it everyday, but it was right up there with 99% of these Protein shakes I've tried!!

I bought MS sausage links and something else.. might be patties of some kind or bacon? But I heated up sausage one night, it was so disgusting I threw both boxes out and wrote off MS. The texture was horrible and the taste even worse.

Are their chicken patties fake chicken?

I firmly believe that barium is one thing that people have varying abilities to taste, depending on their genetics. There are other chemicals and elements that people can either taste or not taste, depending on whether they have the genetic alleles for tasting. To me, barium is completely and utterly disgusting. I can never get a good reading from upper GI tests, just because I have a very hard time getting the barium down and making it stay down. It makes me gag, and the gagging makes me burp out the air that the little crystals make.

The chicken patties are made of tofu, I think.

And by the way, this Soup is looking pretty disgusting right now. Looks like a hamhock and Beans in dish Water. Hopefully it will get better the longer it cooks.

I think it had them in there.

Yeah, it will be okay. Add the spices last as they will cook out. With Beans they seem to suck up a lot of flavor so you'll need to add spices about an hour before it is done.

Did you add onions, bell peppers, etc?

I've added country ham, onions, and red pepper flakes, so far. I have another batch of onion to add, black pepper, carrots and peas, and chili powder. Plus the little packet of ham flavor that came with it.

Barium doesn't bother me.. but one thing that makes me vomit.. my body makes me do it.. is anti-diarhea meds.. Immodium.. liquid or even the capsules.. As soon as it hits my throat (even if I'm taking the capsules with HUGE amounts of water) it just makes me gag it up 90% of the time. I never understood why these bother me so much.. maybe has to do with the chemical yadda yadda?

It's pretty good. I mean, I don't think I'll ever love Beans, but it's definitely something I can eat. Next time I make it, though, I think I'll try fiddling with the recipe.

Just think, this is the first time I've EVER willingly eaten Beans. And I do mean ever. I'm a notoriously picky eater.

It might. I know that I have to take any pill with some liquid other than Water. My throat seizes up if I try to swallow pills with water, and it can make me throw up. Something about the texture of the pill, combined with the taste.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
