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.

      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?
