Broth Question - Liquid Stage



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I had broth at the hospital. It was chicken and I tasted 1 tsp full and was like YUK.

I came home from hospital (had surgery 5 days ago) and took a bite of beef broth on day 3. It tasted so dang good (salty heaven), that I would not eat it at all. I was afraid it must have been the wrong thing. I bought the beef bouliion granuales and hubby mixed it for 1 cup of Soup. I don't want to mess up eatings.

As of now, I am drinking Water, apple juice (love apple juice) and also a Jello a day. Not hungry so that is not the problem.

However, my question is what kind of boullion is okay for this part of diet?

Have the beef broth, especially if you like it. It is much harder to get any calories and liquid in if you don't like the taste. The worst thing the sodium will do is help you retain Water, which, given that we have a tendency to dehydrate might not be such a bad thing.

Boullion cubes or granules are a clear liquid are allowed after surgery. Like the previous poster said it is a little high in sodium but not an issue unless your doctor says it is. Go for the gusto! Knorr brand chicken granules are awesome~

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
