No sodium broths in Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good tasting brand? My 1st day of my liquid diet is today along with my pre op and it's too late for Amazon.

One thing I will say is that I am looking forward to not spending so much money on food. My office orders takeout every day (some days it is paid for). I work in an Italian neighborhood full of yummy restaurants. It is so hard to resist normally but the liquid diet will give me the push to say no. I've even asked the receptionist to leave me off the daily emails.

I have tried chicken bouillon envelopes mixed with hot Water. I also used low sodium butternut squash Soup from trader's joe and carrot ginger soup from trader's joe. The soup weren't tasty but you use unflavored Protein Powder with it and it feels you up.

I love the lamb broth a whole foods. It isn't low sodium though.

A low carb diet is a diuretic, ketosis has a strong diuretic effect. You need sodium in your diet if you are on a low carb diet.

They have Bone Broth at Whole Foods, it is cheap and doesn't take 14 plus hours to make.

Make sure you read the label of every broth you buy, some have added sugar and a lot of them have carbs from flour thickeners.

Whole foods has a wider variety than trader joe's and that is where I purchased all my broths.

I do not like the taste of any of the Trader Joe's broths. YMMV

I just had my first broth of the pre-op diet and I am a little disgusted. So bland! I need to go check out Whole Foods. Don't think I can survive on bland, watery broth for a week.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
