Pretty surgery diet

[roostersrm 8]

Does anyone have any good broth based Soup recipes for preop sleeve. I am 3 days in and already sick of chicken broth!

@@roostersrm To make my Soups I usually blend (food processor) onion, carrots, celery (and sometimes other veggies depending on what Soup I'm making) and saute with a little butter, add salt, pepper, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, minced onion, and paprika (whatever spices you like). I then add boxed/canned broth (chicken, beef, vegetable) and simmer for quite a while (adding more spices if necessary). Usually there's no chunks but you could strain it if there were. You could also make an onion Soup and strain it for the broth.< /p>

Thank you. That helps a lot. This pre-op diet is a little tough.

I'm starting mine Oct 4th. I was originally told I didn't have one so was not mentally preparing.

I started mine on 9/12 and it was sprung on me. So I haven't had time to research options for broth based Soups. I completely understand not being mentally prepaired. I was told on the Thursday before.

It's high in sodium but for a change you could use the broth packets from top ramen. Add unflavored Protein Powder to boost it's nutrition value.

Bone broth from beef bones is good and has Protein in it

I put some frozen veggies and small pieces of beef with beef broth into the crockpot and turned to it on. My preoperative diet allows a hearty broth based Soup. The dietician suggested doing it that way. I am not blending the veggies or meats, now I am worried seeing these post that I need to blend the soup.

Can you buy a good Soup and just drain the broth out?

I called Dr. Office and was assured, I don't have to blend them until After surgery! Whew!

I'm only allowed broth (no soups). Yours sounds very good and I'm jealous!!! LOL

You just have to be careful to know the ingredients of the soup. Some are loaded with hidden carbs.
