Chicken Broth



Recommended Posts

Started my pre op liquid diet yesterday and i tried the broth. Unfortunately I felt like vomiting. Is there anything I can do to help with this? Thanks in advance. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I cannot normal broth. However, cambell's Soup has a chicken broth that tastes MUCH better! I actually enjoy it.

I have also planned to make my own broth after surgery just to take something homey and better.

ya, plain chicken broth is bad. I would buy campbells low sodium broth Soups and strain the noodles or pieces out of them.

Also, Lipton Cup-a-Soup cream of chicken are very good. I also could not stomach the regular broths. I have also heard that people take a sieve and strain chicken noodle Soup and throw the noodles/veggies out. For me, this was too wasteful but would definitely work in a pinch.

Home made is going to be your best bet, the prepared ones in the store taste awful and if you have to watch your sodium intake they generally are extremely high in sodium. I just made a simple broth using chicken breast, onions, cerery and spices. Strain it and let it sit in the refrigerator over night and if there is any fat it will be solid and you can skim that off, put it in some zip lock bags and freeze it so when you need some you pull out a bag to defrost. Hopes this helps and I wish you the best on your upcoming surgery.

I can't tolerate chicken broth in the boxes, but bouillon cubes are ok. Give them a try or make your own chicken broth

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
