Bone broth or regular, Pre-surgery diet help

[RedDackel 19]

Hi Everyone,

Any idea if I can have Bone Broth instead of regular broth for my diet? I'm in week 2 today, and just realized they may be different. Does anyone know if EITHER is okay r should I switch to regular broth?

Thanks,
Red

Either is fine.

I prefer Bone Broth -- specifically, chicken Bone broth by Kitchen Basics. I love the taste. It's like roasted chicken.

They have one with Tumeric, but I didn't care for it. The plain chicken is great. The beef is fine, but chicken is my favorite.

I find it more filling/satisfying than regular broth.

Bone Broth is just fine

I’ve been drinking bone broth! It has great benefits. I made some from the Thanksgiving turkey and some from a chicken. I portioned them out and froze them- it’s good for up to 6 months in the freezer so that helps post op too!

Here is a good article explaining the difference between broth, stock and Bone Broth. It relates to cooking, pretty much says the are close to being the same with the difference being cooking time.

Swansons make sipping Bone Broth cups... they are pretty good

Bone Broth is an excellent choice after surgery as it will help regulate gut flora and heal everything

They aren't a good source of Protein, per the information on the packaging. I had one from a coworker, I guess unflavored Protein Powder can be added.

I never said they were 🤷‍♀️ all Bone Broth states an amount of protein....

Thanks, everyone! Interesting fact about gut flora after surgery - I didn't know that.
