Hey so I'm on day 3 doing the liquid diet but I tried some chicken broth n I couldn't stomach it bc it was nasty. Maybe bc I picked up the store brand instead of Swanson. Is it ok if I brought fat free or low sodium chicken noodle soup n drain everything and drink that instead?

My doctor told me it was ok to do that..so that's what I did. I bought the soup in a box and just drained the noodles out. It was definitely better than plan broth

I couldn't stomach straight broth either. I found low sodium bouillon cubes were much better!

The dry soup mix?

Ok ill look into that too, thanks

You dont have to just eat chicken broth. Do you like tomato? V8 juice is good warm and all the other choices you have. jello, protein drinks etc...

I had my husband get wonton soup from the Chinese restaurant and I just had the broth. My dr also said I could have any soup as long as I put it in the blender. I did this to a Progresso soup and also thinned it out with Water.

I also thinned out some cream of wheat and thinned out SF pudding. I have been adding unflavored Protein to everything to make sure I am getting enough to heal.

Good luck!

Be careful of MSG and sodium.

Regular soups are OK, just watch the salt! Try Unjury chicken soup mix!

I think injury has 700 salt. Isn't that a lot? I am not sure. Does it taste good?would love to try a sample.

The dry Soup mix?

Yes, just make the soup like you normally would, but drain the noodles out. I used Campbells cup of soup chicken noodle

I been eating Jello and drinking the Protein Drinks but the doctor gave me a schedule on what I should drink every hour so I want to follow it to the best I can but the broth is making it hard.

How did you thin out the pudding?

I used unsweetened almond milk but you could use water or skim milk. I did add some unflavored protein as well.

So it's ok to eat this n the blended soup on the clear liquid phase?

I would talk to your doctor. I am on a full liquid diet until my first post-op appt. I only had to be on clear liquids the day I had the surgery.
