Favorite Broth?????



Recommended Posts

I have been hearing so many good things about how good the Bone Broth tastes so I bought a ton of it and just had my first taste (chicken flavor, fat-free, gluten free) and it was NASTY!! In major panic mode being my surgery is tomorrow. Is there any broth out there that is liked by most or are my taste buds not like most everyone elses???

In 4 days I had two very small sips of broth. The sight and smell of it was enough to make me almost vomit. Depending on your plan, I wouldn’t put much thought into it, just focus on Water and sf popsicles. I bought 3 cartons of broth before my surgery last Monday and didn’t open a single one.

MG1776 thank you for the info!! I won't over think the broth situation at this point.

I've never tasted store bought broth.. maybe Water it down?

Your tastes will change postop and you might like it better. Otherwise you could use it as a base for cooking a pot roast or chicken Soup.

I always just made my own broth... simmer a bunch of meat for several hours..adding salt, pepper, and herbs... good stuff.

I made my own Bone Broth. I used the bones of 2 roasted chickens, a few carrots, celery, onions, garlic and some herbs and spices. Put it all in my instapot with enough Water to cover it all and let it cook for an hour, then I’d switch out the veggies & herbs and do it again 2 more times. I strained out the liquids and discarded the rest, salt and pepper to taste. I will add tasteless Protein Powder as I heat it up, add it only to mildly warm broth as the Protein will break down in boiling water.


Have a great day!

A friend made me Bone Broth, but she uses an entire chicken, not just the bones and she simmers it for hours on the stove top. Then she strains it, lets it cool in the fridge and scrapes off the fat

Can you elaborate on the method for bone broth in instapot? I am an instapot novice. I have made one broth in a crock pot but imagine its better as faster in the insta.
Thanks!

I used a lot of Bone Broth post-op because of the Protein content. I do like broth and I do not like the taste of bone broth. It tastes... how shall I say it... too much like animal.

I doctored my bone broth up with ginger, garlic, cumin and s&p. That helped tremendously.

My favorite was to order Wonton Soup or pho (nobody makes a broth like the Asians in my opinion) and I would give the noodles to my husband and drink the broth. Other than that I did regular chicken both heated up over the stove. I sautéed garlic and onion and red peppers first then poured the broth on top to let it simmer. I added salt and pepper to taste. Strained the onion garlic and peppers before I drank the broth.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
