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!

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.

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

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.< /p>

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
