My sleeve was done on 9/9. I did well, and I was started on clears the day after.. Now I did clears for 2 weeks prior to surgery, but I also had the Optifast for something to offset that. I stuck primarily with popsicles, jello and water, water, water. Now post-op, per instructions, i am to be on clears for 2 weeks, then full liquid for 2 weeks. I never thought I'd look forward to a protein shake but hey...

Now with nothing but clears...I've have come to the conclusion that I loathe canned/packaged chicken broth. Gagghhh!!! Just can't choke it down. I find it way too salty. This stuff is for cooking, not drinking.

What is other's thought's on making a big ol' pot of chicken soup (the kind my grandmother put matzo balls in) and straining out the broth, not leaving any veggies, etc.. I'd freeze the rest for a later date. It would be relatively clear but does anyone think it might be too much, too soon?

Apparently I'm much lazier when it comes to the broth. I take 2-3 check breasts (or any part of the chicken would work). I sprinkle the Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon over the top, fill the pot with Water and simmer for a couple of hours. I remove the chicken and use it to make chicken salad, chicken enchiladas/tacos, chicken casseroles or whatever for the family. It's really pretty tasty. There's no sugar in the bouillon but the salt content is high so I don't use very much for a whole pot.
