pre-surgery soup

years ago, i saw a recipe for a vegetable soup that was recommended for patients facing surgery because it helped them lose weight quickly.
i only remember that it started with a head of cabbage and canned tomatoes. it wasn't a "cabbage soup diet" version and was originally designed for heart patients.
all the searches i've done online give me pre-surgery diets for lap-band patients and i'm just having laparascopy for ovarian cysts - nothing as drastic as lap-band...
does anyone know of such a recipe?
TIA!
