I was talking with some friends today who had the lap band they told me during their clear liquid phase they would use the packets from roman noodles and just use that as a broth (no noodles) I was thinking of trying this too?. I wanted to get some advice from some veterans

* on if this is a good or bad idea

Sure! I actually did the same. I'd boil the water and just add the packet but no noodles. It makes a nice change of broth flavors.

I think its okay, I did that as well I was fine and lost weight

The litpon cup-of-soup cream of chicken packets taste the same too.

i drained reg chicken soup of all the noodles and mixed it with water and some broth to tide me over through this phase

(i tried to get as low sodium as i could)

I'm newly banded but I would say that isn't a good idea. The sodium in those are usually sky high.

I got some low sodium instant broth packets that smell just like roman noodles, it tasted great by the way.

great! this will be a great change. I was getting tired of the chicken broth . I wish I would have known this sooner especially since I go onto the mushie phase on Monday . any suggestions with for mushie food?

I'm also going crazy with my chicken broth!!! I waned to do the same with ramen noodles but the sodium as they said is way too high so right now I am drinking Swanson 50% less sodium and I'm so tired of it...it's starting to smell nasty and just gross to me...are there any other options out there for me? btw I was banded 10/3

I did beef and chicken broth, jello, cranberry and grape juice during my clear liquid stage. It really does not last that long and I did do the lower sodium types during this stage. Full liquids is much easier, cream soups, thin yogurt and some protein shakes makes it a little easier. do not expect to lose weight during this initial phase, you will lose some but you will be eating some foods that later will be considered sliders, cream soups, ice cream, etc I also ate a gew sugarfree popcycles during this stage..

The vegetable broth by Swanson is pretty good too, the beef not so much.

Hey You Guys, So I'm Currently Having A Problem With Finding The Best Type Of Broth To Eat For My First Week, Any Suggestions??

I also used the Lipton noodle Soup from the box and drained the noodles off.

Yes, I'm Using Campbell's Soup And Just Drained The Noodles, But I'm Also Having Complications With Gas. I Was Afraid The Soup Was Causing The Gas. Any Feedback?!

Try the single packets of broth sold at Trader Joe's. Very low in sodium and sugar and they taste good. The package is in liquid form so you just add hot water to your cup

Just watch the sodium.... It will make you retain water and give you a false scale result. I did reduced sodium soups and broth and just didn't eat the noodles or meat et al.
