I'm planning ahead for the post op clear liquid phase, and since for many of us broth is one of the few items we'll be allowed to have I thought I find out what the best tasting ones are. From what I understand, most of us are stuck on Clear Liquids for anywhere from 2-3days to 2-3 weeks post op, and I know I'll be sick of broth probably after a day, LOL :cursing:

I've listed all the brands I could think of, be they liquid or powdered. And I'm just going to assume that they'll be the low sodium variety, cause who need the saltier water-retaining stuff post op anyways?

Also, if you have any suggestions on how to make the broth taste better, please post.

I actually did strained Progresso chicken noodle Soup after a couple weeks of plain old Swanson low sodium broth. I strained all of the noodles, veggies and meat out and drank the liquid. I got the idea from someone here...the broth is much more satisfying that way than with just straight broth (it tastes better and satisfies hunger better). DH would just open another can and add my noodles and meat to it so there was no waste. They have low sodium versions too.

I did the same as Jodi, tho I wasn't on clear liquids. I just needed something different. What I did tho was strain the broth and give all the goodies to my 2 1/2 yr old in a bowl. She loved it! And like Jodi, no waste! Perfect!

Tho, if you have a Trader Joe's in your area, they have a new line of broth. Comes in small boxes and 12 packets to a box. It's not powder and it's not liquid, per se. It's more of a thick sauce. They have veggie, chicken and beef. The stuff tastes so good! Like real beef stew broth. I've been having fun adding it to stews and such and the flavor is so enhanced, it's great. What would have been good before with another broth, is just that much better with this stuff.

Best wishes with your process!

I'm going to revolt you all - a spoonful of Vegemite in hot Water, lol! there's another Aussie classic called bonox that is beef broth.< /p>

But I only had to do 1 day clears, although I think I had strained chicken noodle Soup a few times. Who woulda thought that the noodles out of chicken noodle soup could be soooooo tempting?

I'll be darned if I can think of the name of it, because it's a Mexican brand, and down in south Texas we have a lot of that, but they actually make a Tomato bouillon and a shrimp bouillon that was to die for. I got tired of the ckicken and beef reall quick! I still use the shrimp flavor as a base for seafood recipes. It's awesome.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
