This may be a silly question, but can I just drain cans of chicken noodle Soup for my chicken broth. Actual chicken broth out of a can is almost tastless, Whereas the juice from chicken noodle soup tastes pretty good. Wanted to know before I did it, don't want to be cheating

Lots of people get the lower sodium options and do that with it

I simmered chicken broth out of the carton with dried rosemary and thyme and added a smidge of Better than Bouillon. It is delish!

Liptons noodle Soup is really good too.. just remove all the noodles. Plus one package can make like 8 cups

I have used for pre-op and also post operatively, Premier Protein, which gives 30 grams of Protein and only 1 gram of sugar in an 11 ounce container with a nice screw top in case I can't finish the whole thing at one time. I buy it by the case at my local Sams Club and pay $18.98 for a dozen. Price has only gone up 10 cents in the last year. Comes in vanilla or chocolate. I use the chocolate mostly but have used the vanilla for fruit shakes or just plain for a change. Two Protein drinks a day plus my new eating habits and my sleeve surgery has me feeling successful. When I decided to do the surgery I was 283. ( My normal weight was 150) but certain circumstances left me a cripple for over 10 years so I gained weight no matter what I ate. After hearing about the sleeve option, I was 276 the first time I saw the doctor and now I am 211. I probably could have lost more but had my sleeve in March 2013 and then a total hip replacement in August 2013 and that slowed my progress. After 3 days in the hospital for my hip, I then went to rehab for 37 days post surgery, so in the rehab it was nearly impossible to stick very closely to the food I needed because the kitchen either didn't cook what I needed or didn't have what I needed. Thank goodness my friend was bringing me this protein so I could stick with that regimen. These little shakes are great when you want chocolate or feel any hunger. I put them in my NutriBullet, add PB2 I buy on Amazon (I get the large bag that is shrink wrapped) and 2 ice cubes and it's very satisfying. Try this, it's a great option.

Depends on your doctor and nutritionist I suppose. Mine is very strict. They don't want me taking any Soups and draining them, because they say some of the other ingredients bleed out.

What I use is chicken bouillon from Goya. Don't know if you have that brand but it tastes pretty good.

      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.
