List Of Items I Need Post-Op?

[Kaytlyn Allen 4]

I have been seeing lists everywhere for what I will possibly need after surgery. Can you tell me what will be useful?

hm, i dont know. broth, Soups (drained), sf popsicles, your Protein liquids, chap stick, heating pad.....a supportive unit to listen and help if need....your instructions from the dr's that you must follow (promise you will) ......and a positive attitude. there, that is all i can think of...

Carolinagirl nailed it. The only thing I would add is fill your scripts from your doctor and get some GasX just incase you need it, oh and a good book to read.

And a nice little pillow to press against your incisions if you have to cough or sneeze!

Good luck with your surgery...things that helped me where the GNC Protein lean shakes...love them! sugar free ice pops...I also needed Prevacid for the burning from the surgery in my throat. The pillow is essential as well to help you sleep. Try to keep a positive open mind too and take things slow. Small walks help throughout the day! Good Luck!!

I vote for the PILLOW!!! you will only be able to eat/drink little sips of anything anyway.... so get the pillow!!!

I would also add a small travel pillow to your let so you can use it to support your stomach the first week when getting up/down or sleeping in bed.

Yes. I finally settled on one I could tolerate- Premier Protein from costco or sam's club. I do occasionally buy new powders to try, but have relinquished myself to the fact I will probably not find a powder I love.

The best one for me was GNC Lean Protein Shake. Already made in chocolate strawberry and vanilla. LOVE THEM!!
