I'm looking for alternative broths because I've gotten kinda sick of the swanson broth...But in my house we have plenty of ramen noodles! (I used to LOVE these, but now I don't care for them :confused1:) Since I can easily just take out the mix, I was wondering if these would be okay? Here's a link for the nut facts: CalorieKing - Calorie Counter - Calories in Maruchan, Noodles: Ramen Noodles, chicken Flavor

I used them, and so do a lot of other people. Drink lots of Water to counteract the sodium count.

I'm not sure if you've seen those little cubes that you can dilute in warm Water. They make a reduced sodium one that is veggie flavor. It's nummy yummy. ;)

Oh, Thank God! Thanks for the tip on the wate tiff! I just had some and the saltyness is killing me. And yes, my stepmom has billions of those too. I'm going to look out for the veggie one, it sounds yummy! ;)

Ironically, I'm sitting here eating a bowl of Ramen noodles when I saw this post. It will be one of my last meals before I have surgery. lol lol

I just asked my coordinator if Ramen noodle broth was allowable and she said it was IF I diluted it with Water a lot, and low sodium chicken broth. It has a high sodium content.

I did the ramen noodle broth when I was on clears because the regular chicken broth didn't have enough kick to it. And honestly, I didn't pay one bit of attention to the nutrition facts, I was just struggling to get anything in because I was SO sick of clears! And now I'm to the point where I'm so sick of full liquids I could croak. Can't wait for some scrambled eggs!

If I remember right Ramen is made with MSG, if that's a issue for you or not I don't know.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
