@sillykitty Thank you for that link, I will be making a version of that Soup once I buy some wild rice. I forwarded the recipe to my oldest son, we both love wild rice Soup.

btw, one ingredient I have found that makes a really subtle, but big difference in creamy Soups is dry white vermouth.

Instacart has a swap agreement, but not for a better deal. I gave the ok for the swap, I didn’t look at the nutritional information when I did. I’m one of those people who refuses to shop at Walmart because they don’t provide benefits or decent pay. (Damn liberal) 😂

But I shop on Amazon, so I’m pretty much a hypocrite!

I'm also a damn liberal, but my cheapness outweighs my principles 😂

Whenever I travel to cities I try to eat the local specialties. I ate a lot of chicken & wild rice Soup and walleye in Minneapolis :). I tried to survey my associates in each city for the "best" version. Lunds & Byerly was almost the universal answer for chicken & wild rice Soup.< /span>




So this is the recipe I used. I deviated by leaving out the swiss chard & thickening it with flour

Have you tried Walmart grocery pick up? It's pretty nice they just put it in you trunk for you. For the substitutions, you can choose to reject them, and they'll take them off when you arrive. Sometimes the substitutions are a win, for example I ordered 100 pk of Splenda, and they subbed w a 200 pk, and charged the 100 pk price.


Thanks for this recipe @sillykitty. I used to travel to Minneapolis a lot and miss this soup. Will be making it myself now!

Breakfast with one egg omelette this morning with spinach, onion, Swiss cheese and lean ham cubes. Sauté lean low salt ham cubes in just a splash of real maple Syrup. Then, I use the cubes for navy bean Soup, a chef salad and sunny side eggs for extra flavor. Just a few bites satisfy.

Barbacoa made with Frontera Grill marinade. I piled it on 7 tortilla chips and it was amazing.

I apologize for the extreme close up, it is my attempt at hiding my messy plate.

My husband smoked a chuck roast and I took it from there.

My husband is quite the carnivore. He usually smokes brisket but couldn’t find any, then he ran across recipes for Chuck roast and I like it better, however, I don’t love smoked beef in general. I can’t eat a lot of it because it’s so high in fat and calorIes. I almost always make something like this or carnitas with the smoked meat, that way 3-4 oz goes a long way.

My favorite thing he smokes is pork loin, it never disappoints, chicken is ok, I prefer that baked.

He bought this about a year ago, he doesn’t mess around lol.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
