Soup issues!!



Recommended Posts

Okay, this is aggravating. I think I have the eating slowly thing down. I made some Soup (it's broccoli soup, made in the magic bullet, and it's YUMMY!) I have 1/2 cup and was planning to eat the whole thing. Well ... I'm not even halfway through and it's cold! Same thing with cold drinks - it starts out cold, ends up room temp.

Just something to get used to, I guess.

Still loving eating mushy soup, even if it isn't hot.

(oh -- and just a FYI ... if you feel tempted to put gumbo in the food processor ... um, just don't. It sounded good at the time.)

This one's such an easy solution! Just get one of those coffee mug warmers. It's a little plug in device that keeps your cup warm that you can get at any drug store or on-line.

Here is a great cold Soup recipe that is yummy and very filling. I do use fat free sour cream instead of the real thing and it is just as good. I also leave out the garlic just because I don't like garlic. Enjoy

Jamaican Chilled Avocado Soup with Fresh Ginger and Lime Crema Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004Show: Emeril LiveEpisode: International Soups and Stews spacer.gifspacer.gif 1/4 cup butter

1 cup finely chopped onion

2 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 ounce)

2 large ripe avocados, peeled and mashed

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 green onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup half-and-half

Salt and freshly grated black pepper Lime Crema:

1/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions for about 4 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger and continue to cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the avocado, lime juice, and chicken stock and whisk to combine. Simmer soup over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the green onion and transfer the soup to a blender and puree, in batches if necessary, until very smooth. Stir in the half-and-half and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill thoroughly before serving. To make the lime crema, stir together the sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. When the soup has chilled, garnish each portion with a generous dollop of crema.

OHOOHOH! I'm going to have to try that!! I have been CRAVING guacamole and that sounds like it might calm the craving. OR, I'm just going to go to the mexican restaurant and get a bowl and a spoon!

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
