how about just making the broth for the first couple days post op? has to be better than straight bullion dontcha think?

Way too much salt! Sorry girl. It's going to be hard enough to stay hydrated immediately post op without adding tons of salt to your diet.

That's the only type of broth I had, you can only drink what...4oz tops...you'll be fine plus that's what they gave me in the hospital. In such a small amount, the salt content is minimal, your body also needs sodium or you have start having thyroid problems.

OK, so I'll dilute it! what about buying low sodium soups and draining them? what did you do lipstick lady? thanks for all the input!

What's weird is I am not able to handle broth post surgery. I've tried twice and both times I almost threw up. It's the ONLY thing I've had an adverse response to.

I bought broth in a box from better grocers like whole foods, fresh market, trader joes. I also went to my local grocery, and dipped out broth from the Soup they make in the store and serve near the salad bar.

I was on liquids for a long time so anytime we the out, I got broth based soups, asked the server to strain out most or all of the chunks and just give me the out and they were happy to oblige! Panera has great chicken noodle and their veggie minestrone is great. I bought the bowl size and brought home the leftovers to eat for a few days.

Oh no! Are you swallowing too much air when you eat it? Have you tried it Luke warm?

Just bought it off the website. It got great reviews. I hope I like it!

I tried ramen noodles it sent me to the bathroom

The broth they gave me after surgery was more salty than ramen. It went down fine. I've never had issues with excess sodium, so perhaps I'm not the right person to answer this question.

Miso broth is so good

The first time it was chicken broth, the smell repulsed me. I had to dump it because I knew I would vomit. The next broth I tried was the French Onion broth with all of the onions strained. I got two sips down and my stomach just turned. But to heck with broth... I'm on full liquids now and had the most wonderful tomato Soup ever.
