I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I'm new so don't be too harsh. I have my VSG on the 21st and was wondering if anyone has input on store bought broths for Stage 1. Or even recipes for your own homemade?

Your aren't going to want to eat anything the first week!! Lol you will probably have no appetite. U will just be sipping in clear liquids probably the first 2 days and then be on liquids after that. U will be able to have broths... So of u like it have it ready!

I had it ready for post op but just couldn't do it. I couldn't get much down becuase my sleeve was swollen. All I wanted was sf popsicles and propel zero water that has vitamins in it.

I have a ton of recipes on my pinterest board look me up http://www.pinterest.com/frenchiew/. I broke them down by the WLS stages. Here is a great homemade chicken broth recipe. http://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2014/03/easy-homemade-chicken-broth.html#_a5y_p=1415361

Thanks so much for the input everyone. I appreciate the tips and I will def stock up on Popsicles and visit your Pinterest page!! Thank you!

I had chicken broth, beef broth, Swanson's Mexican Tortilla Soup base, and Chinese hot and sour base. The last two are a little spicy so I diluted them with chicken broth. I added powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder to all my broths to help with protein goals. I was able to do full liquids (not just clear) after 3 days and my nut highly recommended drinkable yogurt to help replace normal flora. At that point I also added every kind of cream soup I could find including asparagus, spinach, mushroom, shrimp, potato, tomato, lobster bisque, and leek. I diluted the Soups with Water or milk, strained out any lumps and added Unjury powder. I didn't worry about fat content because my calorie intake was so low anyways. Beside, we need fat in our diets for healthy cell production and Vitamin absorption.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info Kindle! I love those tips. I'm surprised you found all the cream flavors! Lol Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to that section of the soup aisle. The drinkable yogurt sounds like a great option, as well. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
