My favorite was Campbell's condensed chicken both, mixed with water. I didn't like Swanson's or beef. ????

The packets of broth that you mix with hot water are very good. I have hormel brand.

The packets that my Doctor's office sold me were very tasteless....I used Campbell's. I still can not eat an entire can.

I am pre-op but am trying to test some things out(even though my taste buds may change after getting sleeved)...I have found this to be one of my favorites as far as pure liquids go and it has 15 grams of Protein per packet!

My surgeon allowed the ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil for the clear liquid stage and I really liked them.

I used the Campbell's chicken and noodle and poured it all through a strainer. Basically any broth instead of cream or marinara based Soup with the chunky parts removed is fine. Broth saved me..I was so sick of drinking stuff without salt, and the heat and salt of the broth, oh it was heaven.

you didn't have any problems with acid reflux with the tomato? I'm onto full liquids on Sunday and am apprehensive about acidic foods

Thanks so much everyone, this helps greatly!!

Good morning. My surgeon suggested Swanson carton broth. I purchased the flavor infused broths Tuscany chicken, Louisiana Cajun, Thai Ginger, Chinese Hot and Sour, Mexican Tortilla. I'm 8days post op and can tolerate each one. I dilute them to limit the sodium intake, and mix them for my own liking. This morning I used the Mexican tortilla to cool my grits in(2nd week diet). They taste like cheese grits. I hope this helps all that are tired of t g e beef and chicken broth.

No, I didn't. But, ask your team because not everyone would allow these until full liquids.

My NUT also suggested Pacific Foods bone broth because it has more Protein than regular broth nut since the ProtiDiet Soups worked for me I didn't try the bone broth.

Yeah I will be on full liquids tomorrow! Yay lol I have been doing the pacific organic bone broth low sodium but it is quite flavorless, maybe I'll try regular and cut it with a little Water. Thanks for all the input!
