Please help me with ideas. Also what multivitamin to use and what protein shake to get. I am very partial to taste. Broth was do nasty I resisted to using the seasoning from the pack of ramen noodles.

I lived off retried Beans thinned out with chicken broth and yogurt (cannon light and fit Greek....just avoid the crimps of fruit)

Also I make homemade broth, canned is nasty!!!!!

How do you make homemade broth

You put chicken and veggies in a pot and simmer FOREVER until it starts physically breaking down into flavored water. Season with salt and such. Then you pour it through a strainer or cheesecloth.

How do you make homemade broth

Yup, what nel said. I use chicken (thighs are cheaper but have more fat than breasts), onion, celery, carrot, couple cloves of garlic, salt, a bay leaf, and whole pepper corns....add enough Water to cover, bring to a boil, lower heat down to a simmer then cook til veggies are mush. I save the chicken for other stuff and strain off the broth in a mesh strainer. Can be frozen for months. If you let it get cold in the fridge the fat solidifies on the top and you can skim it off with a spoon. I do the same thing when I make broth based Soups, just tastes so much better than the other!!!!

Thanks ladies is there anything else I can add to my shopping list besides broth to buy today

Jello. Lots and lots of it. I was also permitted fat and sugar free pudding occasionally. I had miso soup a couple times. Also stock up on water flavorings, like Mio and Crystal Lite. As for protein shakes, GNC's Lean Shakes are great. Low sugar, low fat, 25 grams of protein each. Chocolate and vanilla are tasty but I haven't met anybody who liked the strawberry flavor. Has a strange chemical taste.

So basically all I'm adding for the next three weeks are protein shakes and putting out yogurt?!? I have come to the conclusion that the broth is not for me. Making broth using the ramen noodle seasoning is tasty but too much salt

My surgeon allows cottage cheese chewed very well and strained cream of whatever soups during the full liquid stage, as well.

I use the broth from the Boxed Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup. It tastes really good and goes down easy!
