Three Bean Chili

This is a recipe I have from my old WW days. It is really good!

2 TSP Olive Oil

1/4 Diced Onion (I use the frozen or pre-cut from Publix)

1 Can Diced Tomatoes (you can use two)

1 Can Lite Red Kidney Beans

1 Can Chic Peas

1 Can White Beans

1 Pound Ground Turkey (Optional)

Garlic (to taste)

1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

Brown Onions in Olive Oil and add Ground Turkey until done in a Large Pot. Dump everything else. Do not drain cans. Heat for 30 minutes (or until warm). Eat.

I'm not much of a cook, but this is so easy to make and freezes well too. I know it has tons of Protein and is low in calories. I tried to calculate on dailyplate but it didn't look right.

Avgolemono Soup

Makes about 7 one cup servings

This is a Greek dish from an old Weight Watcher cookbook.

5 c f/f chicken broth

6 T long grain rice *

3 large eggs

1/4 c fresh lemon juice

1/8 tsp ground pepper

1. In a large sauce pan, bring broth to a boil over med-hi heat. Add the rice; reduce heat to med-low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. *

2. Meanwhile, combine the eggs, lemon juice, and pepper in medium bowl; whisk until frothy. Gradually add 2 cups of hot broth to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to keep eggs from curdling. Pour egg mixture into the sauce pain and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute longer. Serve immediately.

*I don't add rice to the Soup, I just skip that step. I make rice separately or I make this soup when I have left over rice. That way I can control how much I put in. You can also add cooked, diced chicken. It's delicious.

Per 1 c serving w/o rice: 47 cal; 2 g fat; 4 g protein; 0 g Fiber

Beef Lentil Soup

4 c beef broth

1/4 c dry lentils

1/4 c dry brown rice

1 can Italian diced tomatoes **

2 c chopped fresh spinach

4 oz left over roast beef

1 T Italian seasoning

Bring broth to a boil. Add lentils and brown rice. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until tender (If you like your lentils a little firmer, wait about 10 min before adding them to the broth). Add other ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes or so.

I like this soup made with left over beef, but it's also good vegetarian. I also add a few garlic flavored croutons to my bowl.

**I don't like chunks of tomatoes, so after I add them I run the hand-held blender through the soup before adding everything else. It makes the soup thicker also.

According to dailyplate per 1 c serving: 146 cals; 4 g fat; 11 g Protein. I think it's probably a little lower as I use very lean roast beef. If it's vegetarian, it would definately be lower.

      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.
