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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
