I am using no salt added and low sodium broth. It has made a difference for me as I do not retain fluids and swelling has dramatically gone down. My gastric bypass was on sept19 and am on clear fluids untill Tuesday when I move onto liquid diet. Cutting salt is not bad and I do not plan to return to being a salt a holic like I was in my past. If you are determined to make the proper change then go full out , half assing it just is not in the cards. Don't cheat yourself ! My two cents. Best wishes and keep at it!! We are here for you always.
