chicken broth...

[Poppie'sMouse 0]

Maybe this is a stupid question but am I supposed to drink chicken broth from a can like Swanson or is it the diluted bullion(sp) cubes?

You can do either but the kind in the cardboard box tastes better, in my opinion.

I agree, ive been eating/drinking the Swanson kind and it tastes like heaven, lol

My nutritionist told me not to drink the bullion after surgery because it has the flakes of seasoning in it... I can't imagine how that could make a big difference... But who knows.

The cardboard box ones are nice because they have a little cap that you can open and close.

I made my own before my surgery and froze it in small containers.

All I know is DO NOT get the 33% reduced sodium!! YUCK!!! Had to take them back to the store and exchange for regular! lol Just my opinion!! Good Luck! Unjury actually has a chicken broth with 21 grms Protein and it is actually good! I am actually using that as my Protein Shakes for my pre op diet. Hope this helps.

I admit that I used to like the broth out of the cardboard box, but before surgery my mom bought me some in a can, and I drank it, and it was THE NASTIEST stuff I have ever put in my mouth. I almost feel nauseous thinking about it, and will probably never drink it again. UGH. I don't even want the kind in the cardboard box...

Anyhoo, I didn't drink any chicken broth after surgery because of that experience... I found that right after surgery the only Clear liquids I could stand were juice, sugar free popsicles, herbal tea and Vitamin Water. I also had some coconut Water.< /p>

After that, I was on full liquids and was back to my Protein shakes, and never had to drink the dreaded chicken broth again!

At Wal-mart there is "Better than Bullion" it is a paste, that you mix with Water and my surgeon suggested it. It took me a while to find it, it is in a small round glass jar yellow label, I found mine on the top shelf.

When I was first banded I prepared it and got 5 teaspoons down and was full. My 5 year old daughter loved it, and slurped it right up and asked to make it ever since!! Hope this helps!

If you make your own:

1 It will taste better

2 you can freeze it like Cindy said, which was what I did too, and it's worth it !
