I tried to post a soup one from Dr Oz, but I got a warning of "No profanity, please" and was told to revise it. I couldn't find any words that looked like any profanity I'd ever heard of--unless shi-ake mushrooms has a double meaning :) I gave up. You can go to his website--under his cleanse. (Aha! it is the shi-ake mushrooms. It refused this message too. Now I get it. Just put the "t" in the spot of the dash. Goodness!!!

Vegetable Broth Soup

Ingredients
2 red onions, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 fennel bulb, fronds and stalks included, roughly chopped
2 tsp caraway seeds
2 tsp sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup sliced shi-ake mushroom caps
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 cabbage, roughly chopped
2 quarts water
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
8 sprigs parsley, chopped stems and leaves
1/2 cup parsley, chopped

Directions
Combine all ingredients, except for the chopped parsley, in a pot. Add 2 quarts of water.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Simmer covered for about 1 hour. Adjust seasoning.
Remove whole parsley sprigs and serve topped with some freshly chopped parsley.
Serve with a side of traditionally fermented sauerkraut and chopped apples.

You can always put it in the blender—if you want it more liquefied. :)

For a quick pick-me-up when I don't want to deal with the blender I drink the following. All ingredients are organic and I use distilled water and mix in a shaker cup.

Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened, 1 tbsp; Sacha Inchi Oil, 1 tbsp; Goatein, 1 serving; Amazing Grass - Berry Green SuperFood, 1 serving; Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning, 1 tbsp. This nets me 266 calories, 12g carbs, 17g good fat, and 20g protein.

I usually have this for breakfast during the week and I've noticed on the days I don't drink it I really notice a difference at work.

And my girlfriend swears by the smoothies she makes!! For extra protein I don't see why you couldn't add a scoop to a smoothie?

Good luck!

My cousin had that surgery. She used her blender constantly. Google smoothies and you will find a lot of fruit and veggie smoothies. Veggie smoothies are surpisingly good. Sometimes she heated them and called them soup. Good luck on your surgery.

hey fellow michigan sparklers, so I got some news and it ain't pretty in two weeks I will be going in for surgery and coming out almost completely toothless. Yeah I know it sucks majorly. Well, I didn't come on here for sympathy I really came on to ask for some ideas on what I could eat for those two long painful weeks of healing(i'll be on a liquid diet). Please give me some feedback and don't hesitate to email me on here about it.
