Tired Of Drinking Broth? Here Is What I Did...



Recommended Posts

Instead of drinking that straight nasty chicken or beef broth, simply buy a normal size can of campbells chicken noodle soop and strain out the noodles and meat. I did it into a coffee cup and nuked it. Tastes SO much better than straight broth and actually has more Protein in it this way.

Thats my take on the broth.

I did not find that the chicken broth or beef broth that I made from the cubes or the jar were that bad. I added extra salt as the salt keeps Fluid in your system longer so that you do not become so dehydrated and become lightheaded or dizzy. If you are unable to live on liquids for a few weeks then you are going to have a very hard time adjusting to your new eating paterns and losing weight as you should.

Actually, I would go to El Pollo Loco and buy a small chicken tortilla Soup and drink the broth. My hubby would finished it off (chicken and veggies). Oh I didn't put the tortilla strips in though. In the first stages, I was allowed to have Protein Shakes, sf pudding, Jello, popicles sf. So I never go bored. Oh if I went out to a restaraunt with my family, I would order vegetable beef soup and sip on the broth. It was really good. ;)

Thanks for the tip! I just tried it with vegetable Soup (low sodium) and it tasted so good!

I made my own broths. (chicken, veggie, or beef) They taste SO MUCH BETTER than the boullion broths, and I could season them as I wished. The meat and veggies I used to make the broth, I used in dishes I prepared for my husband

I switched to Lipton Cup o' Soup pretty quickly, the kind with the tiny noodles in it. I didn't eat the noodles at first, but after a few days I was fine with smooshing them up with my tongue before I swallowed. It tastes a LOT better than plain chicken broth!

So, do you have to stay away from Tomato products after surgery? (the acid) I find that V8 vegetable juice is very tasty warm. I use it as the base for my vegetable beef Soup too. It is wonderful!

Tomato and citrus juices were on the no list for me until at least 3 months out. I can handle about 4 ounces of them at a time now, but I waited because of the acid in them. I certainly didn't want to irritate my staple line! :)

Great suggestions! I am so literal that I have been eating canned broths only. Going to the store to get chicken noodle TODAY. I'm not worried about the sodium. I'd rather lose a little slower and prevent dehydration. Am also having watered down fruit juice or gatorade and my energy level is pretty good. Counting the days until full liquid...Thursday, come on, baby!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
