I am just wondering what everyone used for the broth pre and post op? Just regular chicken or beef broth or something else? Did you put any Protein powder in it or just take it without??

Thanks in advance! Karen

I tried many variations and my favorites were the flavored broths like miso, garlic and lime/chili/chicken. All with a scoop of Isopure whey Protein. My hands down favorite is the Miso with isopure. It tastes like a "normal" Soup which is important to me.

I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder both pre and post op. Mixed it with chicken broth, beef broth, Swansons Tortilla Soup base, Chinese Hot and Sour soup base, strained miso and wonton soup broths. When I was on full liquids postop I also mixed the Protein Powder with diluted strained cream Soups.....shrimp, mushroom, Tomato, asparagus, lobster bisque, butternut squash, etc.

The best Way found was to mix the Protein Powder with a tiny bit of Water in a Blender Bottle first. Then stir the Protein slurry into the soup. Make sure it is not over 140 or it will clump. Soups were a welcome change from the sweet shakes and warm felt better on my healing sleeve.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
