Define "Broth Only" plllease



Recommended Posts

I started my 10 day pre-op diet. Holy cow it's rough and I'm just day 1. People tell me after day 3 it's easier but all I thought about at work allll day was food. My stomach was rumbling so loud that I could hear it even with my headphones with music on while I programmed. Torture.

My diet is:

gatorade, Powerade, apple, orange and grapefruit juices: 2 cups or less daily.

sugar free Jello, popsciles and fudgesicles: as much as I like as long as they're sugar free

A cup of skim milk, low fat yogurt or low fat cottage cheese: 3 or less daily

Atkins shakes or carb solutions shakes: 3 or less daily (I got powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes in vanilla, chocolate and chicken soup)

You may have as much as you like of broth ONLY Soups in any flavor.

As much as I like of sugar free beverages like diet soda, crystal light, coffee and tea.

Then there are diabetic allowances like small amount of regular cottage cheese, light yogurt, stuff liek that.

So my question is.. what is broth? Just chicken, veggie or beef? Because in the broth area of my supermarket I found butternut squash broth, Tomato and some other nifty things but I don't know if that's considered broth.

Anyone?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
