Suggestions for broth?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I am due for surgery in 2 1/2 weeks and was getting stuff ready and prepared here for when I get home. What are the best broths to have on hand for the clear Fluid stage? All I can think of is Campbells beef or chicken broth in the cardboard carton........there must be better than that?? Thanks

Schwan's chicken broth with half a baby can of spicy V8. I ended up buying the low sodium cartons of the broth. Sounded nasty to me at first but after the sweet Protein drinks, something savory was welcome. I think it may not sound that good to me now.

Best wishes through this stage.

Swansons Chinese hot and sour and tortilla Soup base starter, strained wonton soup, strained French onion, egg drop soup before adding the egg, and I got the low sodium chicken and beef broths.

Once you switch from clear to full liquids you can add in lobster bisque, potato leek, butternut squash, blended split pea, Tomato and cream Soups (chicken, mushroom, asparagus, spinach, celery, etc). I always added unflavored Protein powder to kill two birds with one stone.

100% awesome sauce!

In addition make your own. Specially if your preop. You can cook and the. Freeze clear broth from veggies and such.

Sipping along the clear broth path for you :)

I used beef bouillon cubes in hot Water. Easy on my tummy and the warm liquid was satisfying. Had that and Protein Shakes, 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. Lost 27 lbs that month.

I called our favorite Mexican restaurant and ordered tortilla Soup without the tortillas...I strained the chicken and cheese off and set aside for hubby's burrito and thoroughly enjoyed the broth.< /p>

      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.
