Question. I have tried chicken bone broth and did not care for it. I am in my first two weeks. Could I strain chicken noodle soup and strain the noodles and chicken from it

Yeah as long as it’s just a liquid no chunks

Yes! I bought an entire container of Unjury Chicken Broth (not bad) but realized I could just strain my favorite soups. I strained all during my pre-op and am continuing to strain on my post-op full liquids. In fact, I was able to go out to Noodles & Company after church today with my family and brought my strainer to strain a side of their Chicken Thai Soup. It was so good! And the meal only cost me about $1.45. Bonus! Just be sure to use a tight wire strainer and not a pasta strainer. Enjoy!

Godspeed to all who will be in the operating room tomorrow. Sounds like there are a few of you. I know there are others this week as February wraps up (and at least one trailer on March 4). You got this! Let us know how you do when you are comfortably able.

Advice to those having surgery this week. Don’t rush to get on and post the first day of surgery. Sleep the say away. We will be here the next day

Marine. Are you allowed protein yet? I've heard by many people just my 8 months pre-op that injury chicken soup is by far the best out there. I also bought Lono life thai curry bone broth of this site and you can brew it in your keurig or they have a packet as well. Delicious and a bit spicy.

Lynn. I still feel tired. I did get out today for a while. I am getting 60 grams or more of protein and 62 ounces of fluids. Each day I get better

Gabybab. Yes. Nutritionist said prior to surgery that the first 4 days should be clear protein. However the hospital had me on protein shakes. Sugar free popsicles and fudgicles

Our nutritionist said that if they bring us anything in the hospital other than clear liquids, we should not eat it.

Weird. I'm not allowed to have shakes till day 7. I wonder if that includes clear protein? I forgot to ask.

We had diabetic protein shakes, sugar free juice, tea and water in the hospital. I would of loved a Popsicle or fudgsicle. I would love one of those now too hehe.
