liquid diet

what is the best brand broth to get? also is apple sauce ok to eat?

this is completely dependent on your MD and their instructions. These were mine.

When I was on the liquid phase pre-op I was allowed liquids- fat free, sugar free, red food dye free. Af far as broths go, I tried a little of everything. The thing that kept me sane was the won-ton soup from a local chinese restraurant. Hold the won-ton's were my instructions. They gave me a huge tub for just a couple dollars LOL!!! They were laughing at me by my 4th return trip.

Pre-op I had lots of crystal lite. Lemon and orange jello, fudgesicles.
I also made a lot of soup that I strained. Tom Kha, Tom Yum, Miso, Wont-ton.

I was allowed no sugar added applesauce (Tree Top) after surgery but not before.

Swanson fat free and low sodium has the best Chicken broth!  It tastes like they roasted the chicken first.  I wasn't allowed applesauce, if in doubt, call the doctors office!

 

Congrats on your surgery!

Check with your doctor.

When I was on clear liquids (post op for 3 days), I preferred the taste of Campbell'sChicken Noodle soup -- strained.

It is just a more comforting, more familiar taste to me than chicken broth.

I was not allowed applesauce until I was on 'full liquids' -- and then it was unsweetened

I used low sodium boullion cubes and added spices. Italian seasoning, or garlic powder. Just to change the taste. To get my protien I used unjury chicken. Just add it when your broth is on the warm side and not hot. It will clump up. I wasn't allowed apples sauce before surgery. I also made frequent trips to the local chinese restaurant. The broth is very good, but had to strain the noodles. I had 21 days of liquids pre-op and 2 weeks post op.
Best Wishes to You!
