Hey guys, I am six days post op and dying for something salty. Have been doing chicken broth and beef broth but wanted another choice. Any opinions on egg drop? My diet lists miso soup but my stomach didn't like it even after I strained it.

I did egg drop soup about 9 days post op, strained of course, was great.

I would try it. start with a little.

Thanks..just feel consumed by nothing but sweet choices. The protein shakes,the jello, the crystal light and the popsicles...augh.

I was doing egg drop at about a week post-op

Egg drop was allowed for me. Just ask your chinese place to not use corn starch in it.

Does anyone hv a recipe for egg drop soup? It sounds good. Thanks

There are several on YouTube. But it's so cheep at Chinese resturaunts & a quart will last 2-3days. I think I pay about $3 a quart.

Egg drop soup is simply chicken broth, scrambled egg, corn starch (to thicken- optional in my opinion) a splash of soy sauce, and green onion (optional as well)

Thats a wonderful idea...buying it at a Chineese restraunt. Thank you so much everyone.

Why no corn starch?

I did egg drop about a week post-op. We buy these packets for about $1.50 from asian markets and even Safeway has them sometimes. You add water to the powder and boil it than add an egg. My husband uses half the packet but a whole egg so I get more protein in. He whisks the egg while it's boiling a lot so the egg pieces are super tiny. It gave me no problems at all!

Cornstarch adds extra carbs. It's just me... I'm carbphobic!

I had egg drop soup at about a week out. Just the broth, no egg, green onions. It was delicious!

Thanks Robyn!
