Chicken/Beef Broth or Stock?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
