chicken broth Protein?!?!? Mmmmmm. Please tell me more. That sounds delicious.

My nutritionist recommended Bone Broth Soup. I bought Pacific Foods chicken Bone broth it has 9 grams of Protein and I am adding flavor free Isopure if I need more protein. My liquid diet of premiere protein, bone broth and Water starts tomorrow. My surgery is April 5th. I know this is getting real because my hospital called and asked for my copay.

I usually love broth, but the beef broth I bought and I believe it's Bone Broth is too salty. I can't tolerate it.

maybe Water it down a little. I found the chicken brith less strong.

I'm getting my husband to pick up a different brand. I'll use what I have leftover in cooking their food. Maybe they won't notice. Lol

I don't have a surgery date yet, but have been trying different liquid things.

I really like the chicken broth/soup from Unjury. It has 20 grams of Protein. Unjury also has pea protein that I like added to Soups. For some reason unflavored whey protein adds a strange aftertaste/texture to soups that is just disgusting to me.

Everyone has different opinions, those are just my few favorites. I would also like to hear other people's ideas.

No matter what, find a Vitamin routine that works for you and remember not to take Calcium and Iron at the same time. supplements for life are important; vitamin/mineral deficiencies can be serious. I am a nurse and have seen all sorts of bad stuff happen to bariatric patients that don't take thier Vitamins.

Don't let it be you!

Calcium can block the absorption of Iron.

Calcium blocks Iron absorption.

Vitamin C helps iron absorption.

Just make sure you take calcium supplements separate from your Multivitamin.

Opurity/Unjury has calcium supplements and Vitamins that are meant for bariatric patients. I realize this is the second time I am recommending Unjury, I don't work for them or anything. I just find it easier to place 1 online order for all my stuff instead of going to a bunch of stores.

I took care of a young man who didn't take his calcium after gastric bypass and his teeth started deteriorating. He was sweet, I felt bad for him.

If I'm not mistaking. I'm thinking its about an hour from Columbus. My husband and I moved from Columbus to here in 2015. We lived there for 8 years. You live in a small town that Columbus people call "Country". Lol. It's a small world. Very nice to meet you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
