HELP ASAP PLEASE

Today I'm on a clear liquid diet bc ds surgery is tmrw. May sound silly but, I wanted to check and see if Bone Broth was ok to drink vs chicken broth? I know bone broth has bone marrow and pureed organs in it. I just had this sinking feeling come over me that I should check before I drank some. Thanks so much!

It should be fine assuming its clear and doesn't have any residue. Just be mindful of the sodium content.

No residue or remnants. The sodium is 90 mg too much?

That's fine, its not high at all. If you are using it for clear fluids after the surgery, you probably won't be able to drink too much of it any way. I had three clear Fluid days after my ESG, I started with 1/2 cup broth for day one, then for the next two days I had 2 x 1/2 cups broth per day along with my other fluids.

Good luck, hope it all goes well for you

My surgeon said I could go to town the night before surgery; have any kind of "last meal" i wanted. It wasn't going to make a bit a difference. The reason they put you on such a strict diet pre-surgery is to shrink your liver so they have more room to move around in there. But your last meal isn't going to enough time to change things one way or the other, so don't worry about it.

On the other side now! Surgery went well. Swallowing the pills are hard and hurts but thankful to be at this point! Thanks for your support.
