Started 30 Day Pre-Op Liquid Diet Today

[shadowmountain 17]

I have done great all day, and was looking forward to some chicken broth tonight.

The chicken broth on my list must be 140 mg or less of sodium per serving. I found some Campbell's on-line.

IT TASTES LIKE DIRTY FEET! And it smells even worse. I tried dumping some pepper in it - didn't help - ugh.....

Lol. "Dirty feet" really?

[shadowmountain 17]

Yes - really! It was awful..... I can't even imagine 30 days of this. Now I know why it was so hard to find - I would imagine its not a hot seller.

Lol!

What does dirty feet taste like?

[Amy Sty 11]

Oh I hear you!! Too me it smells like wet dog. I tried pepper and parsley. No better.
I didn't drink any broth during my pre-diet.

I'm confused, 30 days pre-op liquid diet, I was told two weeks.

[shadowmountain 17]

Yes, it seems most people are 2 week pre-op diet. My surgeon is very strict (30 days).

I personally like Swanson's low sodium chicken stock on a box. It tastes pretty good. I take unflavored Gelatin and add it to make it a little thicker than Water. It also boosts the Protein.< br>

My broth has to have less than 140mg of sodium per serving. Very hard to find. I finally found Trader Joe's Organic chicken broth that is decent. All the low sodium broth at the grocery stores have about 600+ grams of sodium

Personally I just buy low sodium chicken noodle Soup and drain the broth from that, giving my daughter the noodles/chicken and some broth. (she loves chicken noodle soup)

Good to know. Thank you.

[PatientEleventyBillion 851]

Yep, and depending on if you're really fat restricted a normal can of chicken noodle Soup might be fine. I'll only have one a day and Water it down quite a lot so as not to go crazy on fat.
