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 really like the Imagine brand of soups and broths. Good luck.

I'm Currently Trying The Campbell's Soup But Just Draining The Noodles And Things Out, But I'm Also Suffering With BAD Pain Feels Like Gas, And I'm Afraid it May Be Coming From The Campbell's Soup. What Do You Think?!

I love the individual broth packets that you can get from Trader Joes. Low in sodium and sugar.

I had my lap band on Friday- oct 5. Those gas pains are from all the air they pump into you. They are very annoying. Even Vicodin doesn't relieve the discomfort.

i Had My Surgery On Friday, October 5 As Well, And These Gas Pains Are NO JOKE!! i Can Hardly Sit Up in The Bed. My Overall Goal Right Now is To Burp, Which i Haven't Done Since Before Surgery. Lol.

hi guys!! i was also banded on oct5! i was ok until today...i feel like i did when i was 9 months pregnant and there wasnt enough room for the baby,which made it hard to breathe....standing,sitting,lying down,,,doesnt matter....not sure if its gas though

Gas x, a good laxitive and a heating pad does the trick as soon as you have a BM you will feel much better its like any other other surgery you need to get the colon working, and walk a around the room several times a day that willl help

I made a big pot of home made chicken broth b4 surgery then I had that and cream soups(made with water) it was good. Lose 7 lbs the first 3 days post-op.

I've used the Swanson brand of broths. They come in several flavors, they also make a low sodium version and are 99% FF.

I preferred stock has more flavor. When I got more desperate for real foods I switched to straining Campbells soup. I would'nt bother with low salt broth your food choices are boring enough. During full liquids I added Mrs Dash salt free flavorings to soups before heating to up the flavor.

OMG those gas pains are really annoying, I burp alot but still there ,, I had lapband OCt 4th, I'm feeling alittle better, but it's just the gas pains, and I'm kind of afraid to drink more than I have to thinking I will damage the band.

Lol. Me Too! My Mom is Making Me Drink Fluids, But I'm Trying To Avoid it Because i Don't Want More Gas. Once Thos Gas Phase is Over, i Will Be A-Okay! Just Being Patient Now. The Burps Are Just Now Starting. Yaaay!!

If you have hypertension or issues with renal function, you should not load up on sodium, as per my PCP's instructions...and if you read the nutrition labels some of those sodium content numbers are astronomical...

My husband & I both have hypertension so I always get the big cartons of Swanson's low sodium, ff. Can't wait until in gets cooler in FL & I can make all my soups. When I'm on mushies I plan on blending them. I know they will taste good.

Make your own chicken or beef or veggie then you can control the sodium

Walk as much as you can!!! This is the only thing that truly helped me!!!

ive been using college inn low sodium chicken and beef broth....im only able to have a half cup(burping the whole time),then i start feeling like i cant breathe!! hopefully that will get better soon!

at the hospital,they gave me vegetable broth,which was delicious,but i cant find it anywhere!!
