Chicken/Beef Broth or Stock?

[SandeeD 363]

Does it matter which one we consume post-surgery? The only difference I see is that stock has double the Protein (4 grams). My plan says broth, but I was wondering if it really mattered. I'm stocking up on post-surgery items and bought mostly broth, but one chicken and beef stock as well.

Either are fine as long as you find them palatable... I hated canned or boxed broth or stock because it was so bland or overly salted so I made my own chicken broth by boiling chicken pieces with some salt pepper and a few other spices.

Just make sure it's good because it will be a important those first days, as it is one of the few savory things you can have.

Thanks Laura! I was cleaning out my freezer (it was already basically empty lol) and I found some chicken pieces, so I boiled them and seasoned them, refrigerated it, skimmed any fat off the top and strained it to get any little pieces out. Perfect broth! I put it in a container and in the freezer it will be until I need it. I also have some chicken bouillon cubes/powder and today I bought a few containers of beef broth, and beef and chicken stock. So hopefully, something will satisfy me.

Sometime the warm liquids go down easier than the cold or room temp ones those first days.
