Pre-op: How bad is it that I just added ramen noodles flavor sachet (only) to my broth? :-S

[MumtazG38 86]

It tasted UH-MAZING!!!! lol. There are pretty much no carbs in it as the egg noodles were thrown out. I'm sure there are at least a few, but hardly anymore than 8g, if at all. Otherwise, there is no sugar....I just worry about all that soy lecithin!!!! Either way.....I'm transferring to home made broth/stock post-op from the bouillon variety (there's no Protein....wtfudge). Gonna go make some and freeze it in cup sizes for that exact use today. I have 4 quarts of the good stuff on the freeze but.......it isn't portioned so it's pretty unrealistic to try and unfreeze that, unless I'm making a large batch of something. That's actually what I'm saving it for.

Anywho....first day of pre-op diet today. So far I've had (last night after 12am) 1 Premier Protein, a whole cucumber in lemon and some spicy chat masala goodness (Punjabi's in the house? ), and (this morning for breakfast) 1 1/2 cup of broth with the ramen noodle shrimp flavored sachet, and 1 scoop unflavored unjury! MAN that ish was gooooooooood! LOL.

Haven't been too hungry honestly. Just the normal "mmm...that looks good, can't have it" mentality kicking in LOL. Even things I normally wouldn't care for are looking good now I know I've got three days of nothing but broth and Protein shakes. But honestly, if it stays this way it'll be a cinch. It's hunger that I can't handle.........no mental hunger really phases me anymore.

However....I think that was my last experiment with ramen noodle flavor sachets lol. I don't want a little thing like that possibly causing issues with my surgery because of all those "unknown" ingredients.....

My surgeon actually suggests using those in your broth for more of a "kick."

Half a punjabi, does that count? On pre-op we used the Maggi Masala flavor I'm our powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Today my husband used taco seasoning in it. Tastes better to us. Hoping we'll be able to do spicy food again soon. I sooo want some dal fry for my full liquids in a week but not sure if its a good idea or not. Have you tried dal yet?

[anniemay 150]

I used it too. It is high in sodium so don't over do it

[MumtazG38 86]

I'd kill for dal right about now. I tried some of the clear Soup from a chicken shorba curry and it gave me the usual...err....bathroom problems LOL. Sorry for that bit. But in any case that's as far as I've ventured in desi ville as of yet. Otherwise...can't wait to try some chicken chili blenderized when I get to the pureed part tomorrow. Will cook it up and blend small portions to see how well I do.

Ugh....I want me some Pakoras though!!!! lol

I use the Mrs. Grass noodle Soup and toss the noodles. It's quick delicious.

Isn't that weird? The part we would,have loved in the old days is the part we now have to throw out!
