liquid and puree question

why cant u have cinamon applesauce during puree? mine says unsweetened

also what kinds of chicken broth taste good? can i make chick noodle soup and strain it or is that only allowed after surgery not during 2 week liquid diet.


also i go for medical clearance and my last appt. anything i should ask?

Sara, you need to be alert for the sweetened things after surgery.  The sugar will cause you to dump, and dumping is NOT fun.  You can add a little splenda or other artificial sweetener and cinnamon to plain unsweetened applesauce to suit your taste for cinnamon.

You can strain the chicken noodle soup, consider trying unjury chicken flavored protein.  You can get samples from the unjury site online.  The only trick with the unjury, do not add to water over 130 degrees or it will curdle.  Adding some of the protein powder to other things allowed will help you get in the needed protein along with allowed food/fluids.

I use a chicken broth concentrate available at the local store, bullion cubes work well too.

I feel your excitement as the date approaches, ask anything you want to know to ease your concerns and worries.

I use unsweetened applesauce to take my pills, normally end up eating 1/2 cup of it.  I mix cinnamon and splenda in it for taste.  The cinnamon applesauce in the stores all have sugar in them as an ingredient.  I have yet to find one that is SF.  I use Musselman Natural applesauce.  The least amoung of sugars (natural sugars), no sugar or corn syrup listed in the ingredients.   You still need to concentrate more on proteins vs the other slider foods like SF pudding and applesauce.  Think low carb and high protein.

What I did for the broth was buy the ramen noodles.  They had a small packet of seasoning in it.  I threw the noodles away and used the packet to make the broth.  Wasnt too much of a waste since each pack only cost 0.33.

Do you know approx when your surgery will be yet???
