Question - Liquid Diet - Sodium

I'm wondering about the sodium content in Ramen if i drink just the liquid without the noodles.  I'm getting plenty of protein with my protein drinks, but it's cold here and i need something to warm me up.  Been drinking lots of hot chocolate protein coffee.

I don't have any issues with my blood pressure, so i think the sodium would be okay...just might make my hands and feet swell a little.

To me it is still ok since you are still pre-op.  I loved miso soup during my liquid phase well it only lasted 2 days however post op miso soup was my fav. 

You are doing a hell of a job I know that I would have had such a hard or almost impossible time with that liquid phase.  Good luck.

Thanks!  I'm only on day 3 and it's starting to get hard.  And I'm freezing...my co-workers are telling me it's not cold in here.  I thought i wasn't supposed to start freezing until AFTER the weight comes off!

You COULD do that, but why not just buy a jar of bouillon/broth powder that you can add to ho****er?  It's cheaper, tastes just as good, I think, and you don't have to worry about being tempted by the noodles or anything. 

just wondering...
