Jello?

[KTB1128 21]

What kind of Jello did you guys buy for the post op diet(the premade cups vs. the powder)? I forgot to ask my nut if the jello that is included on my "allowed list" would be in the "jell" state or just mixed with Water? ?

Pre made cups

Just make sure it's sugar free.

I bought some pre-made cups so I would have some after surgery without having to make it, sugar free mixed fruit or something it was really good, I don't think they make that flavor in the powder. After that pack I started making my own.

I've got both. just make sure its sugar free.

Thanks Ladies! I already bought a bunch of premade sugar free cups so I should be set! Last night my fiance had mentioned how its odd that Jello in jell form would be on a clear liquid diet (both of us are surgery virgins!) and I've been wondering about it all day, lol.

Off topic but important to me at least!!

The other thing on your list is probably broth...

It will be a life saver or not... "Not" if its from a can! Bleh yucky and so on..

Make homemade or bribe someone to do it for you

Thanks, good to know! I will deffinetly have to bribe someone...I wish I could take an few days off before surgery to prepare but I get no paid sick or vacation days Did you ever add Protein to the broth? ? I already know I'm going to have trouble with the taste. I ordered the sample pack of nectar protein and it was awful on its own.

In the first week or so I just drank the broth plain.

I was worried more about just getting something in:) you can order chicken broth protein powers but I've not had those... As far as protein I was allowed shakes the first week so I drank premier Protein Shakes, I still do today also because they taste good and have 30 grams each.

I made my own broth, I keep it simple because I'm lazy

1 chicken ( though you could just buy some chicken pieces) put it in a pot of Water with salt pepper and garlic (powdered) boil until chicken starts falling off the bone a bit. Then remove chicken, cool broth a bit skim a little fat off the top. An voila broth!

I shred the chicken by the way and fed that to the

Family (burritos, chicken Alfredo, etc)

If you can't do that find a restaurant nearby and buy to go containers of a brothy type Soup and ask them for mostly broth, then strain it when you get home, a lot of people do Chinese egg drop soup..
