Favorite broths, drinks, etc.?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had my surgery yet, should be some time in August. I'm wondering what are some of the best types of soups/broths you've tried along with shakes and Protein Drinks, etc. for the first few weeks?

The first 2 weeks post-op for me consist of broths, sugar free Jello, popcicles, sugar free drinks.

Tried chicken broth and beef broth...both made me want to vomit.

My savior has been Matzo Ball Soup broth. I found the already made Soup in a jar at the grocery store. I pour it through a strainer before drinking it.

I am also doing well drinking Miso soup (strain it prior).

My all time favorite Protein shake is Jay Robb, both chocolate and strawberry. I also liked the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate. Unjury strawberry was really gross to me.

I found some stuff called "better than buillon" (kroger) and that has been wonderful! The chicken is so much better than whats in the can. Its a paste that you add to hot Water so you can make it a half cup at a time. Also lots of protien shakes, special K protien Water, sf Jello and yogurt. I've been living on that for the last week and am looking forward to Sunday when I can switch to full liquid and get some additional choices! i have to admit that it hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be living on liquids. But I know that i will definately not be wanting any Soup when this stage is over. Never have been much of a soup drinker to begin with and its a good thing since the recommend that you don't once you get to real foods since it slips past the band too easily.

Good Luck!

i like the herb-ox chicken broth by hormel. and they're individual packets so you can make one cup at a time in the mocriwave. and if i'm not mistaken, the low-carb slim-fast has more Protein than the Protein One? i could never find a Protein Shake i liked though. so i drank slim-fast for some meals and to get protein at the beginning.

I have been experimenting:

1) Better than boullion organic chicken

Cream Soups (no chunks at all) have been my savor:

2) Pacific Natural Foods | Creamy Soups

  • Sweet Corn - AWESOME
  • Cashew Carrot Ginger - add a dash of pepper and some molly mcbutter - it is GREAT
  • I have not tried all the other flavors but will post all the results when I get my blog up and running.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
