No sodium broths in Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good tasting brand? My 1st day of my liquid diet is today along with my pre op and it's too late for Amazon.

One thing I will say is that I am looking forward to not spending so much money on food. My office orders takeout every day (some days it is paid for). I work in an Italian neighborhood full of yummy restaurants. It is so hard to resist normally but the liquid diet will give me the push to say no. I've even asked the receptionist to leave me off the daily emails.

I have tried chicken bouillon envelopes mixed with hot Water. I also used low sodium butternut squash Soup from trader's joe and carrot ginger soup from trader's joe. The soup weren't tasty but you use unflavored Protein Powder with it and it feels you up.

I love the lamb broth a whole foods. It isn't low sodium though.

A low carb diet is a diuretic, ketosis has a strong diuretic effect. You need sodium in your diet if you are on a low carb diet.

They have Bone Broth at Whole Foods, it is cheap and doesn't take 14 plus hours to make.

Make sure you read the label of every broth you buy, some have added sugar and a lot of them have carbs from flour thickeners.

Whole foods has a wider variety than trader joe's and that is where I purchased all my broths.

Thank you so much for your input. I have not even heard of Bone Broth until now

I do not like the taste of any of the Trader Joe's broths. YMMV

I just had my first broth of the pre-op diet and I am a little disgusted. So bland! I need to go check out Whole Foods. Don't think I can survive on bland, watery broth for a week.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
