What is the best tasting pre made broth you've found? Also, any recipes for homemade? They had an AMAZING broth at the hospital and they said it's an institutional brand.

I got the Rachael Ray one because I figured if anyone will have a yummy broth it'd be Rachael Ray but it tastes like it NEEDS to be used for cooking instead of for eating solo.

I'm debating making chicken noodle Soup and just eating the broth part.

I'm 5 days post op.

I really liked the ginger miso broth from Trader Joe's. It was a nice change from chicken.< /p>

I also liked the Progresso Italian Wedding Soup (with everything strained out of course).

I am 4 days post op and spent days making broths before surgery. The easiest: I bought a costco pre-cooked baked chicken plopped it in a pot and started adding diced veggies: Leeks, onions, celery, carrots topped with Water a few chicken bullion cubes and simmered an hour. I pulled the chicken out and let cool. I drained broth into ice cube trays, put mushy veggies in snack size ziplocks and shredded the chicken and put a couple table spoons of reserved broth in each baggie. Voila!! Meals for a month. My husband takes two broth cubes microwaves them in a small glass dish for 55 secs and I am golden.

Whole foods had some bone broth pouches in refrigerated section. Each was about 3 post op servings so I splurged. They were I think $5. One was pho and the other was ginger coconut. Both were very good with Protein powder. I am going back for more. I just don't want to spend time cooking in kitchen.

I also like Campbell's beef consume.

Bone Broths are easy to make. And help with inflammation. Put a package of beef narrow bones into a pot, add a few whole stalks of celery, onion peeled and halved a couple carrots halved and fill pot with enough Water to make it swim. I added a little garlic and salt and pepper. But it's rich and just delish. But the cartons of stock by Swanson are pretty good. If you make chicken stock peel the breast off to save for your chicken salad later. And just use the bones. Honestly I'm 4 days out of surgery. I loved the broth too at the hospital. But very salty.

Pacific Bone Broth and/or bone stock. It comes in chicken or turkey. You can get it from whole foods or Amazon.< /p>

I literally did as you said. I made a can of plain ol' chicken noodle Soup and strained the innerds. Even added a touch of Kosher salt (I needed something SAAAAALTY because my personal cravings and it helps my headaches) and it was glorious. My program really stresses "low sodium, low

fat, low everything" but that just seems like more of a way to encourage you towards healthier options. Regular ol' chicken noodle soup broth isn't gonna hurt (I've heard different temps can sensitize your sleeve and be uncomfortable so watch for that, I haven't experienced it).

So there's my say. :P

        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
