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.

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?

Another option was Better than boullion (sp) low sodium chicken base. Also very good tasting and lower in sodium. No added Protein though.

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.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
