What should be buy for post op diet



Recommended Posts

Have been reading alot on the first week post op and have found alot of great suggestions for things like baby tylenol, mylanta chewable gas meds, and such. I am still preop scheduled for sept 6th. I am wondering if I can get suggestions here on the stuff that has helped you out post op. My mother and bestfriend are going to be taking care of me for the first 2 days or so so i would like to get a list of stuff together for them so they know what will help me through this process. any and all suggestions are welcome even if they are standard from your dr or just common sense. Thanks so much. Oh also i would like to know how to get a ticker to work. I have created one but cant seem to figure it out

  • Liquid Emetrol for nausea
  • S/F lemonade or lemon hard candy. You will have a terrible taste in your mouth from the liquid diet. All the tooth brushing and mouth wash in the world won't help. Anything lemon flavored will cut through it.
  • Chicken or beef broth
  • jello
  • popsicles
  • protein powder
  • milk
  • lump free yogurt

For your ticker:

  • Copy the bbcode
  • go to edit my profile/change signature
  • paste the code into the box

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
