I had no problem with clear broth after surgery. Maybe not the 1st couple of days but could soon sip on a cup of broth with no problem. I did better with warm liquids in the beginning.

For me personally I tolerated warm liquids way better after surgery than cool or cold so I drank a lot of broth the first week. I kept a large container of swansons low sodium chicken broth in the fridge, warmed it up and sipped on that throughout the day to get my fluids in. I ate a lot of fat free broccoli cheese Soup as well and would mix it with half water/half milk. What was left over went in fridge and got eaten for next meal. I didn't start making Soups to freeze until I could do (vegetable Soup, Tomato spinach florentine) stuff with more substance. I tried freezing a cream soup last week and it did mot defrost well at all. Hope that helps!

the Soup will go right thru you. There really is no reason to make large amount of borth and freezing it. you'll be able to drink about half a cup every 30 minutes or so. You wont feel like drinking anything but you will have to if you want to keep your tummy calm. I got tired of broth about three days out and started on sugar free ice pops then powerades. i suggest you buy the ramen noodle packs in different flavors and just use the broth packages. it's the only way to change it up.

Way too much sodium in that
