After gastric sleeve surgery, while on a clear diet, can I have gumbo broth?

You will need to follow your surgeon's post op diet guidelines.  You are recovering from surgery - so clear broth shouldn't be spicy, or have any type of "chunks"  when you move into full liquids you may be able to start doing some blending, but remember, since you are still in the healing phase clear liquids should be more on the bland side and not spicy.  Try boiling a chicken with spices and herbs you like, then your broth will be more flavorful, and you can freeze the chicken for later use, or use to feed your family

Yes, you can have gumbo broth while on a clear liquid diet after gastric sleeve surgery, but with certain precautions. It is important to ensure that the broth is completely strained and free of any solid ingredients such as meat, seafood, vegetables, or rice. Additionally, gumbo is traditionally thickened with a roux made from flour and fat, which may make it unsuitable for a clear liquid diet. If the broth is excessively thick or opaque, it would be best to avoid it during this stage.
Seasonings should also be considered, as spicy or heavily seasoned broth may cause irritation to the healing stomach. Opting for a milder, less seasoned version is advisable. Furthermore, it is recommended to choose a low-fat and low-sodium preparation, as high-fat content can lead to nausea and excessive salt intake may contribute to dehydration.
If you can ensure that the gumbo broth is clear, light, and free from any thickening agents or solid components, it should be appropriate for a clear liquid diet. If you are uncertain, it may be beneficial to consult to an expert.

Hi, I consider Gumbo to be a complicated dish. It all depends on how you cook it, We recommend that you stick to fewer flavours and ingredients, like regular chicken or beef broth.
The clear liquid diet helps your stomach to heal faster, because you are avoiding heavy spices and also the thickness of the food, if your liquids are thinner they go easier trough your sleeve.

Hello, thank you for your question.The importance of following a post-op bariatric liquid diet it's because it gives you time to heal and to make sure your body can tolerate taking in puree or solids with time. Try to stick with your meal plan for the first two weeks, have a consult with your main doctor or nutritionist so they can give you options regarding the initial liquid diet.Here are some ideas- Water: plain or flavored, non-carbonated, non-sparkling- Clear, fat-free broths-Clear juices, including apple, cranberry, grape and orange juice — no pulp, and mix equal amounts of juice and water- Sugar-free gelatinHope this helps, My best wishes,

You should not be on only clear liquids after surgery, except perhaps for the first day.  I tell my patients that they can drink anything that would fit through a straw.  So if your gumbo broth would go through a straw you can drink it.
