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.

      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.
