I am over two weeks postop and have been craving eggs. Not something I expected to crave. I found my salvation in eggdrop soup. Super easy to make and gives the sodium and some protein needed after surgery. I hope that helps for those getting board of our limited options. Does anyone else have anything yummy to share?

Problem with egg drop soup (or hot & sour soup which is my preference) is that the thickener is usually a starch. Tapioca, corn, or something like that. By it's very nature starch is all carbohydrate. Corn startch is about 90% simple carbs.

I just used Egg, chicken broth, and a little soy sauce. Not as thick but better than broth.

there’s just not enough of it to be a problem in egg drop soup.

I will echo the egg drop soup recommendation.

OK, I'm puzzled here on day #8 post-sleeve. My program's nutritionist advocated eggdrop soup for the Stage 2 liquid diet. But what about the eggs? Don't they count as solid? I tried to compromise and sorta ate around most of them, and I must admit tummy is happy despite having gotten some egg. (This is the Chinese take-out variety--we're out of broth here now.)

Egg is usually a soft food not a solid...unless hard boiled, guess.

Those not liking broth, have you tried Better Than Bouillon? It's very good. A can of cooking broth isn't. I also like the clear soup from the Japanese restaurant.

Where can you find Better than Bouillon, is it universally available? I am not familiar,with the brand.

It is near the cans of broth, soup bases, Knorr granular bouillon or cubes of bouillon. May do an online search to see where available.

Would anyone be willing to share their Egg Drop soup recipe's??
