Bone broth or regular, Pre-surgery diet help



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Any idea if I can have Bone Broth instead of regular broth for my diet? I'm in week 2 today, and just realized they may be different. Does anyone know if EITHER is okay r should I switch to regular broth?

Thanks,
Red

Either is fine.

I prefer Bone Broth -- specifically, chicken Bone broth by Kitchen Basics. I love the taste. It's like roasted chicken.

They have one with Tumeric, but I didn't care for it. The plain chicken is great. The beef is fine, but chicken is my favorite.

I find it more filling/satisfying than regular broth.

I’ve been drinking bone broth! It has great benefits. I made some from the Thanksgiving turkey and some from a chicken. I portioned them out and froze them- it’s good for up to 6 months in the freezer so that helps post op too!

Here is a good article explaining the difference between broth, stock and Bone Broth. It relates to cooking, pretty much says the are close to being the same with the difference being cooking time.

Bone Broth is an excellent choice after surgery as it will help regulate gut flora and heal everything :)

Swansons make sipping Bone Broth cups... they are pretty good

They aren't a good source of Protein, per the information on the packaging. I had one from a coworker, I guess unflavored Protein Powder can be added.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
