I have had a few people ask for my recipes, and I’ve asked for a few as well, so I thought I’d start a thread for Bone Broth recipes. I use an instapot but you can use a crock pot or just a pot on the stove. The stove top process will take longer but should have the same results. For the chicken one I bought 2 roasted chickens from Sams club and after we ate the meat I used the bones. For beef I went to the local meat market and bought a stew bone, I didn’t like the finished product so I’m going to try the Asian market. For pork I used 3 ham hocks.

For all my broths I just combine veggies that I would put in Soup (carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, broccoli etc), herbs (bay leaf, thyme etc), about 2 chicken skeletons worth of bones and enough Water to cover the bones. I use the soup setting on the instapot to cook it well done for 1 hour. When it’s done I take out the veggies & herbs and replace with fresh, I do this 2 more times with the same bones & liquid. After they cook through 3-4 times I strain the juices into a separate pot and discard the rest, add salt & pepper to taste & let it cool. Once it has cooled there will be a layer of fat on top, just remove it and discard it.

I added the broth into soup containers I found on Amazon and froze them. I have used some of it to make Soups and saved some for the liquid diet stage. When using it for the liquid diet stage warm it up to below 140 degrees, anything hotter will denature the Protein you will be adding to it. Mix in enough tasteless Protein Powder to achieve your protein needs. I believe the website I checked said it should contain 17g of protein but definitely research it, I could be wrong. I have made beef (still looking for recipes, mine was not good), chicken (yum!), pork broths and from those I’ve also made ham/bean soup, turkey zuppa toscana, chicken soup and pumpkin butternut squash soup. I ran half of each batch of soup through the food processor for the purée stage. Feel free to add your own recipes to this thread, we can help each other through this .

I basically make mine like Soup with herbs and veggies and take out the veggies & bones when it’s done and I love it. I am a big soup eater though so that may be a contributor for me. Im actually looking forward to my broth phase, I already started using it to replace my Snacks. I’m sorry yours wasn’t good, it’s not for everyone I guess [emoji20]


Have a great day!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
