It sounds delicious and very good for you. I am going to go to my meat market, get some bones, and make some Bone Broth to have after my sleeve. Thanks for sharing!

I was planning on filing the freezer with stock reductions. I have just about every fresh herb in my garden and a good relationship with my local organic butcher.

I ordered plenty of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder and a nice warm (140 degrees) cup of home made Soup fortified with 20 grams of Protein should be great in the fall. Much better than an artificially flavored, sweet shake.

What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing! I wonder if this is similar to pho? I know a lot of my friends are pho fanatics and it is so good on a cool or wintry day (hey, we have snow today in the upper mountains, whoa). Here at least in utah (where we are 5 years behind) you can get it on almost any street... its very popular. Often these restaurants are 'known' by the quality of their broth. They provide you various things to put in the broth, but you certainly don't have to. Maybe next time you are downtown and don't want to make your own, you can try pho and let us know how it works with the sleeve/bypass/band. I am pre op and benefitting by all the wisdom shared here.

I have already started making homemade broths and freezing them in ice cube trays. Once they are frozen I store them in labelled freezer bags. I am trying to make a good variety so I don't get bored as quickly.

Thanks for the share! I will be trying this recipe when I am post-op.

You can also add a couple chicken feet (I know it sounds weird) to the broth while it's cooking. It adds a boost of natural Gelatin which is chockfull of Vitamin E, amino acids, glycine, lycine, and all kinds of awesome stuff. There is some Gelatin naturally present in bones, but when you use really cartilaginous parts like veal knuckles, chicken feet, or pork trotters you get a huge boost in gelatin content. It also makes the broth a bit "stickier" which gives it a rich mouthfeel and enhanced flavor.

(I used to be a butcher - and pork trotters were hoarded by all the great chefs in Napa Valley.)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
