So I have been reading a lot about bone broth and it looks alike a great option to get Protein and liquids post surgery.

Anyone here drink it? Is it actually any good? Any particular brand you like? I've seen Kettle & Fire and Bare Bones online.

it's pretty easy to make and freeze. Yes, it's pretty good.

I just made my own yesterday, following a recipe I found online. It was easy and tastes delicious. I'm drinking it during my 2-week pre-op diet and freezing some for after surgery.

I love to cook and have always made bone broth to freeze and use for Soups and stews. I have already had some since my surgery but not much because it's not tasting good to me. During my liquids I've pretty much stuck to Protein shake and sugar free Popsicles. Started soft foods today and tried to eat some egg. Ate about 1/4 of it.

huh... maybe I'm the odd man out here. I thought it was vile. I'd rather eat camel rectum jerky than try and drink that stuff again.

YIKES. what in the world did you use to make your bone broth?

I don't know what it was made with, my wife bought it in hopes that it would be decent. We both gagged on it and poured it out pretty fast. Luckily I don't need the Protein as bad as some and can get by with other sources!

I bought several flavors of the Pacific Foods brand:

Organic Bone broth chicken with Lemongrass

Organic Bone Broth Chicken with Ginger

Organic Bone Broth Turkey with Rosemary, Sage & Thyme

I haven't tried them yet, coming up on my pre-op diet here in 7 days. Worst case scenario, if they're not good I'll finish them up pre-op while I can chug them down. LOL

I also bought a beef one that goes in your Keirig. I don't have one, just dumped the contents into a hot cup of Water. It didn't taste bad but OMG the smell. As long as I didn't breathe in before drinking I could drink it. Here's the link for that one if you're interested:

Does anyone have a good recipe link to share?

I tried the Pacific food brand chicken w Ginger and Vegetable flavors and they were nice and satisfying and certainly convenient but I think there must be a healthier homemade recipe I can try out there.

Plus I love simmering Soup on the stove

I am traveling up to the day before surgery and this is one of the few homemade things I can have ready in the freezer for post-op.
