Congrats! I used a lot of Protein Powder. I like Jay Robb the best. The chocolate and un-flavored. Ate a lot of Jello, drank a lot of apple juice with unflavored Protein powder during liquid phase. Ate applesauce and lots of Soup. Tried the protein drinks/shots they are freaking DISGUSTING. Wasted a ton of money on stuff i ended up throwing out. Soup at hands were my best friend. Could eat for dinner and at work.

Get a pill crusher for your pain meds,. sugar fee pudding to take the pills with,. Protein shakes. You can pick up MUSCLE MILK LIGHT on ebay. I posted a add on here for a lady rhat i buy JUGS of MML for $5.99 a JUG.(THAT'S CHEAP) Flavor is strawberry Milkshake.

Also buy vanilla flavored Protein, and sugar free instant pudding. Any flavor you like. Add some to your shake and mix well. DELICIOUS !

Gas-X strips, make sure your pain pills are filled. Get a pill cutter. Make sure you have a Protein Shake that you like! Make sure to get your chewable vitamins and Calcium pills. If you don't plan on sleeping in your bed at first make sure your blankets and some pillows are on the couch or recliner. Keep a positive attitude and you'll do great! Good luck.
