I was talking with some friends today who had the lap band they told me during their clear liquid phase they would use the packets from roman noodles and just use that as a broth (no noodles) I was thinking of trying this too?. I wanted to get some advice from some veterans :)

I'm newly banded but I would say that isn't a good idea. The sodium in those are usually sky high.

I got some low sodium instant broth packets that smell just like roman noodles, it tasted great by the way.

I'm also going crazy with my chicken broth!!! I waned to do the same with ramen noodles but the sodium as they said is way too high so right now I am drinking Swanson 50% less sodium and I'm so tired of it...it's starting to smell nasty and just gross to me...are there any other options out there for me? :( btw I was banded 10/3

I did beef and chicken broth, Jello, cranberry and grape juice during my clear liquid stage. It really does not last that long and I did do the lower sodium types during this stage. Full liquids is much easier, cream Soups, thin yogurt and some Protein Shakes makes it a little easier. do not expect to lose weight during this initial phase, you will lose some but you will be eating some foods that later will be considered sliders, cream soups, ice cream, etc I also ate a gew sugarfree popcycles during this stage..

The vegetable broth by Swanson is pretty good too, the beef not so much.

I also used the Lipton noodle Soup from the box and drained the noodles off.

Yes, I'm Using Campbell's Soup And Just Drained The Noodles, But I'm Also Having Complications With Gas. I Was Afraid The Soup Was Causing The Gas. Any Feedback?!

Try the single packets of broth sold at Trader Joe's. Very low in sodium and sugar and they taste good. The package is in liquid form so you just add hot Water to your cup

      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.
