I use an instapot but you can use a crockpot, pressure cooker or just a stock pot on the stove. I add at least 3 lbs of bones (2 chickens minus meat, 6-7 t-bones from steaks, 3 ham hocks etc). I add whatever veggies I like in Soup (onions, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots) & herbs. Add enough Water to cover the bones.
For the instapot set it for soup-well done and 1 hour cook time with pressure sensor closed. For crock pot leave it on high for 6-8 hours, on the stove cook it for a few hours. The longer cook time the better. With the instapot I cook for an hour, remove veggies & herbs, add fresh and run it again 3-5 times total. When the bones crumble easily they cannot be used anymore. I add salt & pepper to taste, strain it and put it in the fridge. After it cools it’ll have a layer of fat, remove that and you’re good to go. I freeze mine in 16 oz cups from Amazon. I have beef, chicken & pork as well as a bunch I’ve turned into Soups and Beans. [emoji177]

I know Jack **** about Bone Broth but see it on here all the time.

How does like lipton Soup broth (without the noodles obviously) compare to home broth? Or is that not even remotely close go the same thing

Or you can go to Walmart and buy Sam's Choice organic Bone Broth. The difference in broth and bone broth is Protein levels, more in bone broth 7gr per cup.

If I make homemade I roast the bones in the oven as if I was making pot roast, it has more flavor - I add browned mushrooms, onion, green pepper, celery, and lots of garlic. When the bones are browned I add more cold Water. You could also add store bone broth to this.

I am making beef Bone Broth tomorrow and definitely plan to roast the bones first. When I make it from chicken I use 2 roasted chickens after we eat the meat off of them. The beef bones I’m using are from the grocery store, they are the bones from T-bone steaks and still have a little meat on them. If I have time I’m also going to use the bones from the small turkey I just made. [emoji177]

I bought two rotisserie chickens, removed the skin and picked the dark meat off (baggied it for the freezer). So the carcasses, white meat, 3 celery stalks, 2 yellow onions and 2 carrots went into the instapot and filled with spring Water, pressed the Soup setting and 40 minutes later, Voila. I strained it into a large pot and tossed the ingredients back into the pot, filled it up with water and ran it one more time. Strained it one last time into the large pot and seasoned both batches together. I got several Bell jars out of it and it was a thick yummy glutinous broth. Good to freeze in ice cube trays or popsicles molds, pop em into baggies and keep for later use. I’ve drank all mine up! So good and healthy [emoji317]

[emoji177] Sounds wonderful! [emoji177] My chicken Bone Broth have had very little meat in them but the beef broth I am making now has a lot more. I am making one batch of bone broth and the second batch will be beefy cabbage soup, I will cycle each batch through twice before starting the next batch. The recipe I use for cabbage soup says 1 cup is 100% of your daily Fiber requirements, I’m going to ask my surgeon if I can eat that during the broth stage (yogurt is allowed so I thought over cooked cabbage might be ok). I am really worried about the Constipation, my plumbing has slowed down quite a bit on the mostly Protein diet. ☹️

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
