I've never seen Bone Broth before. Where do you buy it?

Most (all?) grocery stores should have it. It would be with the other broths (chicken, beef, etc.). Has 9-10grams of protein per serving.

I would probably see if they have a low sodium one the sodium on that is kinda high 850mg

It's really high so I mix it with water. I'm going to get the bone broth so I can get more protein

But u need salt when your on a liquid diet

I wouldn't think GNC would sell it. Does GNC sell other food?

No gnc won’t have it . It’s at your local grocery store

Ahh...powder form. I was thinking bone broth soup. I actually used the bone broth as the base for the cream soups I was allowed to eat. 8oz bone broth (unsalted) with half of the small can of low-fat cream of chicken soup (didn't eat the chicken chunks, because I wasn't allowed to). To me sipping the bone broth by itself was kind of gross, especially the smell.

Because past tense is appropriate when you talk about something that already happened!

I don’t know how to put pictures on here

2nd day post op. Pain is manageable. I haven’t had to use my lortab yet. Nausea and vomiting was my worst problem after surgery and first day post op. That seems to be gone now. I’m trying to get my fluids in. Went for a short walk earlier.

@amiekinsRN. You and i are surgery twins. I think the pain is pretty manageable as well. This experience was much better than i anticipated. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Fluids and proteins are going to be interesting for me as well. I feel full after water.
