But I am bored. I pulled out some frozen broccoli and will make up a big batch of Broccoli soup tonight. It is pureed, so I will just add a bit more broth to water it down. I have pulled out my cookbooks and have on the horizon plans to make pureed soups—Carrot-Ginger, Asparagus, Tomato and Curried Squash. I am finding it hard to get in a lot of protein as the chocolate shakes are turning my stomach just thinking about them again. I hope I’ll be able to finish them up as they cost a lot of money. I was told that a liquid is anything you can get through a straw so am almost ready to blend a KFC chicken breast with broth to liquify it. I also have some unflavoured protein powder so might try adding a bit to a bowl of soup to up the protein.
On the 14th, we will stay at home, sip some Curried Squash soup with a glass of red wine and then lick a bowl of melted chocolate. Sounds like heaven to me! Oh and watch the Olympics. May you get in the Olympic spirit and cheer loudly for the athletes from your country.
PS: So sad about the Georgian Luge athlete. My heart goes out his family and friends.

LOL...you are being creative. I found making soups up with chicken like chicken and veg or chicken and sweetcorn....really helped with the protein. I could not stand sweet stuff after 2 weeks on the shakes but I am enjoying them now after 2 months for breakfast etc so I am sure you will use them.
I was so sad to read about the death at the Olympics and immediately thought of you....
Have a happy V Day
I wasn't as creative as you. I stayed pretty simple, as I do even now. I have to say, since my first fill, I've eaten the same thing almost every day! However, I'm pretty happy with my food intake AND my losses thus far.
I'm glad that you're feeling so good that you're up to cooking and creating! I was much better at keeping the sofa warm! You're kind of an amazing woman! Yay you!
lolol... Poor Dh - Hopes were dashed by a sheet of paper.
I hope you had (have) a lovely day though. It's Valentines day here for us right now (Sunday.. 10.30am).. and I won't be getting anything from MOTH.. except a big squashy hug and kisses - that said - he did actually ask if we were exchanging cards (I almost fell over backward that he even asked!!).. to which I said no.. I would rather do it for our 21st anniversary coming up in 10 days. Hope you had fun drinking that wine. Don't get drunk lol!!!
The milky protein shakes do get old pretty quick. I found a brand called Nectar that I really love. They are mixed with water and have more of a juice flavor. I normally mix them with crystal light to change up the flavors. My favorite is Fuzzy Navel protein with peach tea or orange flavored crystal light. I don't use it everyday but mostly on days when I couldn't get all my protein in or after fills when I have to be on liquids. I have also used it after a really hard workout to help with recovery and to avoid getting really hungry afterwards.
You'll have to double check that this is right, but I wanted to remind you that protein powder doesn't dissolve in hot liquids. So if you put it in soup, you have to add it before you heat it.
Love the liquid varieties. Mmmmm chocolate...my first love!
Hi Sandy Lee
Just wanted to say congrats on becoming a bandster! So glad to hear all is ok with you and good luck with the liquids!
Congrats with your surgery. The liquids were sooooo hard for me. Cream of wheat was good. but I got soo tired of sweet stuff by the end even soup seemed too sweet.
Good luck! thanks for stopping by my blog and Happy v-day.
