What is the best tasting pre made broth you've found? Also, any recipes for homemade? They had an AMAZING broth at the hospital and they said it's an institutional brand.

I got the Rachael Ray one because I figured if anyone will have a yummy broth it'd be Rachael Ray but it tastes like it NEEDS to be used for cooking instead of for eating solo.

I'm debating making chicken noodle Soup and just eating the broth part.

I'm 5 days post op.

I really liked the ginger miso broth from Trader Joe's. It was a nice change from chicken.< /p>

I also liked the Progresso Italian Wedding Soup (with everything strained out of course).

I am 4 days post op and spent days making broths before surgery. The easiest: I bought a costco pre-cooked baked chicken plopped it in a pot and started adding diced veggies: Leeks, onions, celery, carrots topped with Water a few chicken bullion cubes and simmered an hour. I pulled the chicken out and let cool. I drained broth into ice cube trays, put mushy veggies in snack size ziplocks and shredded the chicken and put a couple table spoons of reserved broth in each baggie. Voila!! Meals for a month. My husband takes two broth cubes microwaves them in a small glass dish for 55 secs and I am golden.

Whole foods had some bone broth pouches in refrigerated section. Each was about 3 post op servings so I splurged. They were I think $5. One was pho and the other was ginger coconut. Both were very good with Protein powder. I am going back for more. I just don't want to spend time cooking in kitchen.

I also like Campbell's beef consume.

Bone Broths are easy to make. And help with inflammation. Put a package of beef narrow bones into a pot, add a few whole stalks of celery, onion peeled and halved a couple carrots halved and fill pot with enough Water to make it swim. I added a little garlic and salt and pepper. But it's rich and just delish. But the cartons of stock by Swanson are pretty good. If you make chicken stock peel the breast off to save for your chicken salad later. And just use the bones. Honestly I'm 4 days out of surgery. I loved the broth too at the hospital. But very salty.

Pacific Bone Broth and/or bone stock. It comes in chicken or turkey. You can get it from whole foods or Amazon.< /p>

I literally did as you said. I made a can of plain ol' chicken noodle Soup and strained the innerds. Even added a touch of Kosher salt (I needed something SAAAAALTY because my personal cravings and it helps my headaches) and it was glorious. My program really stresses "low sodium, low

fat, low everything" but that just seems like more of a way to encourage you towards healthier options. Regular ol' chicken noodle soup broth isn't gonna hurt (I've heard different temps can sensitize your sleeve and be uncomfortable so watch for that, I haven't experienced it).

So there's my say. :P

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
