My surgery is May 14th for those of u that have been through this already, I have a question for u. During the clear stage. How much broth do I need? I am planning to make a giant pot of homemade broth. An strain it and freeze ahead. But don't know how much I will need for those 7-10 days. Any thoughts. I figure I can produce better nutrient dense broth than in a can.

I only had to be on Clear liquids for two days. So I didn't use a lot. If any actually, I didn't care for it.

I used other stuff like Jello.

Sorry I couldnt help more.

Well I love to cook so I am tryin to figure way to continue cooking and enjoying that with the new restrictions. I love Pho (Vietnamese soup) so I am thinking I can make some of that, and maybe some basic chicken stock.

well you can have as much broth as you want.. I am on solids right now and sometimes i just want broth to eat. When you get to the solid stage finally you will need something to dip your food in to make it go down easier..I say this because I dip my chicken and such in broth,gravy, or sauce to make it have more moisture in it. I don't think you will waste it..

if this helps you out at all, i buy those carton sized packages of chicken broth (from target/target brand) and they are 4 cups in each and one last me 2 days. so i stocked up on chicken broth. nice to have a warm drink after continuously drinking cold protein drinks. i would just have one cup servings once or twice a day

I made my own too and also used egg drop suop strained. I used alot actually close to 20 oz a day along with sf pops and special k Protein Water.I didnt have any problem getting in liquids and loved the unflavored whey in the broth too!!

Thanks that's helps

i too, only have to do clears for 3 days. i have about 10 containers of broth. probably wont use that much seeing as how i wont be able to hold much anymore, but at least i have it!

i plan on mixing it with unjury protein powder to get protein in.

good luck to you!
