I am considering trying bone broth. Do you make it? How do you make it?

I have done some research and have decided that the best way for me to attempt this is a crockpot version.

Being on my pre op liquid diet I am looking for savory flavors like crazy! Lol

My wife makes split pea Soup by adding in a ham bone and slow cooking it for several hours. So since you are on a liquid diet, it sounds like you are headed in the right direction by putting a bone in a crockpot to make a bone broth.

I have started to read about the benefits of bone broth....

I have it on hand as much as possible.

Roast a chicken. Pick off what you want for meals. Put the carcass in that crockpot with carrots, celery, onion, garlic if you like it, black pepper. Crock it all night. Wake up in the morning with some very healthy bone broth. Eat the veggies or save them for Soup.< /p>

From a bone-in pot roast or other beef bones (you can buy just the bones from the butcher at the supermarket) follow the same procedure as for the chicken bones.

Next time you bake a ham, save the bones and do the same thing.

I have not tried this with fish.

I make it several times a month. I make dry rub for a big batch of chicken drumsticks, then after we eat on those, I add about 6-8 cups of Water, the chicken bones to the slow cooker (have also saved bones from thanksgiving in a freezerbag with all the air squeezed out - the neck bones are particularly good for making bone broth and have very tender meat), dump in the ends of things like celery and onions (I throw them in a separate veggie freezer bag also as I'm chopping veggies and save up the bag until it's full), add a dash of either apple cider or red wine vinegar or lemon juice (supposedly helps break down the collegen/marrow) then cook on high for at least 12 hours sometimes just let it go on low overnight.

Roast the bones first (like in the oven or slow cooker) as that adds more flavor. It is perfectly fine to save the bones from a meal you and your family have eaten; they'll be totally sanitized/safe after boiling for hours. ;)

I let it cool, then using a fine metal colander, strain off the bits and bones and put the broth in quart containers and freeze. I use the broth for all kinds of Soups, chicken and dumplings...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
