Hi Nancy,
It wasn't that I am not proud of my weight loss because I am, and intend on working hard for the rest also! My work is far from over but I require this step to be able to continue the progress.
I am glad to have such caring and supportive veterans giving me tools for research, and personal experience advice! I looked at the link for the surgeon you used and was impressed but Toronto may be a bit far for me in case I need followup appointments. I see my nurse practitioner next week, so am hoping to at least have her do a referral letter and get a free consult locally. If I don't feel comfortable at that consult then I will look for options further away.
Thanks so much for the empathy and assistance!

Better Than Bouillion has a great flavor
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
There is a Ramen broth I picked up at Superstore (Loblaws) that is delish! Has lots of flavour and is a broth so I think 15 calories per cup - it was a lifesaver when on my pre-surgery fast!
Put a little salt, pepper and garlic in the broth. Not too much salt though...

Ok so maybe a dumb question.
What do you use for chicken broth?
I have the rectangular containers of Campbell's liquid chicken broth but it's pretty bland.
today I had to use an alternative and used the powders out of a liptons chicken noodle soup, minus the noodles. It was salty but I liked it better. However I think maybe it's not ok to use it.
any opinions!
my surgery is Jan 6/20
