@@sleevedviolet - unfortunately, I haven't been able to tolerate chicken broth, so I've only been able to eat beef broth. I would like to try something other than chicken or beef. I'm on day 4 of 14. Today is the first day I've had any broth because I was trying to stick with chicken, but I was starting to get sick.

I'm still in pre-op, but I've been using Better Than Bouillon when I want something more savoury, and to poach chicken in for added flavour. It's great - I'll never go back to regular bouillon cubes or stock again.

Low sodium vegetable broth is pretty good. I mixed half a cup veggie and half a cup chicken the other day just to switch things up a bit. It gets so boring on these liquid diets. I'm wrapping up day 11. 3 more to go!! Woohooo!!

What about Miso?

Actually, I was going to mention that too, but forgot!

When I make broth now (preop), I simmer the meat for a couple hours, strain, and chill it overnight, scrape off the fat, leaving a jello-like broth left. Heat to melt, and mix into recipe.

Would this work post-op? It seems like everyone talks about boullion (which I don't like).

Whats miso? A Soup?

Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Miso is a paste made of fermented soybeans. There's all kinds of miso - white, yellow, red, and black, although yellow and red are by far the most popular and available (I've never seen black miso). It's kind of high in sodium, if that's a concern for you. Most people know miso from miso soup, which is miso paste made with a broth called dashi (seaweed and dried fish or shiitake mushrooms (for vegetarians).) But miso can be used in many other ways, like using it as a marinade for fish or chicken (not that that helps you right now), or as a Salad Dressing, etc.

      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.
