I lived off retried Beans thinned out with chicken broth and yogurt (cannon light and fit Greek....just avoid the crimps of fruit)

Also I make homemade broth, canned is nasty!!!!!

How do you make homemade broth

You put chicken and veggies in a pot and simmer FOREVER until it starts physically breaking down into flavored water. Season with salt and such. Then you pour it through a strainer or cheesecloth.

How do you make homemade broth

Yup, what nel said. I use chicken (thighs are cheaper but have more fat than breasts), onion, celery, carrot, couple cloves of garlic, salt, a bay leaf, and whole pepper corns....add enough Water to cover, bring to a boil, lower heat down to a simmer then cook til veggies are mush. I save the chicken for other stuff and strain off the broth in a mesh strainer. Can be frozen for months. If you let it get cold in the fridge the fat solidifies on the top and you can skim it off with a spoon. I do the same thing when I make broth based Soups, just tastes so much better than the other!!!!

Jello. Lots and lots of it. I was also permitted fat and sugar free pudding occasionally. I had miso Soup a couple times. Also stock up on Water flavorings, like Mio and Crystal Lite. As for Protein Shakes, GNC's Lean shakes are great. Low sugar, low fat, 25 grams of Protein each. chocolate and vanilla are tasty but I haven't met anybody who liked the strawberry flavor. Has a strange chemical taste.

So basically all I'm adding for the next three weeks are Protein Shakes and putting out yogurt?!? I have come to the conclusion that the broth is not for me. Making broth using the ramen noodle seasoning is tasty but too much salt

My surgeon allows cottage cheese chewed very well and strained cream of whatever Soups during the full liquid stage, as well.

I use the broth from the Boxed Lipton chicken Noodle Soup. It tastes really good and goes down easy!

      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.
