What's your favorite broth?



Recommended Posts

So, surgery is right around the corner for me and I'm going to make darn sure I have things that I can stand to eat. I already have the Protein Shakes covered but now I'm on the hunt for the best broth. I prefer chicken, but I'd like your input on your top favorite broths to drink. If I can avoid doing things like mixing the ramen packets with Water and tossing the noodles that would be preferable. I'm 100% willing to make homemade broth if you guys have a recipe that rocks I'd love for you to post it! That broth in the hospital is always so tasty but it's sure hard to find something that tastes similar from the grocery store.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: Urgh, this is posted in the wrong section...sorry guys I'm new and will figure it out.

You can't beat homemade chicken or beef broth. My husband has several of each in the freezer.

I actually ordered the chicken flavor Protein broth from Unjury. It tastes good and also provided me with protein. Wanted to be sure I got in the needed protein. I also ordered their unflavored and made sugar free Jello with that so when I had jello, and then later pudding, I was also getting protein.

To be honest, that scares the crap out of me. It sounds like it would be disgusting. Does it actually taste just like regular chicken broth? What about the texture? Is it thick or still clear like broth? I won't be able to handle it if it's thick and icky.

I thought it was good. The problem for me was the smell. I would put it in a travel coffee mug with a lid to reduce the aroma.

I read a bunch of reviews and people seem to like it so I checked to see if I could use my medical debit card which was accepted and bought the chicken broth and the unflavored for Jello and pudding. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just be sure as someone posted above, that the Water is not too hot or it will clump. They will also send you recipes for the unflavored for the Jello and pudding. The unflavored can also be added to broths, Soups, etc. but keep Water under 140 degrees.

If you don't like it, I believe they have a "return policy". Hope all goes well!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
