A new spin on chicken broth



Recommended Posts

I'm definitely a girl that likes flavor in her food. Nothing extravagant, maybe a hint of lime or butter or olive oil. There's nothing worse, in regards to food, than something with zero flavor. I don't want my food tasting like it came out of a school cafeteria.

I'm only a few days out from surgery but the last four weeks of Protein shakes, liquids and Clear Liquids have taken a toll on my taste buds. No more more Jello, cranberry juice or tea, for today anyway:-) I have tonight's spin on chicken broth simmering on the stove as I write this. I pulled out my pot, heated it up and put just enough butter in to coat the pan - no more than 1/2 pad of butter. I added 1/2 tsp of olive oil and fresh garlic, large cilantro leaves, thyme, little garlic salt and salt and pepper to taste. I also added lime juice, to my liking of course. It has super yummy flavor and can't wait till it's ready. Hopefully this will be my first posted recipe that's a hit!

      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.
