Kaytlyn Allen 4 Posted August 24, 2012 I have been seeing lists everywhere for what I will possibly need after surgery. Can you tell me what will be useful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted August 24, 2012 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... 2 ♕ajtexas♕ and BeeBlueHeron reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted August 24, 2012 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. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeBlueHeron 87 Posted August 24, 2012 And a nice little pillow to press against your incisions if you have to cough or sneeze! 1 ♕ajtexas♕ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktsped 42 Posted August 24, 2012 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!!

lucie159 89 Posted August 24, 2012 I vote for the PILLOW!!! you will only be able to eat/drink little sips of anything anyway.... so get the pillow!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
connie.zybert 7 Posted August 24, 2012 Did anyone have a problem finding a Protein Shake you liked? i m on day two of my liver reduction diet and i can't seem to drink the stuff.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted August 25, 2012 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. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted August 25, 2012 Did anyone have a problem finding a Protein shake you liked? i m on day two of my liver reduction diet and i can't seem to drink the stuff.. 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.

ktsped 42 Posted August 27, 2012 The best one for me was GNC Lean Protein Shake. Already made in chocolate strawberry and vanilla. LOVE THEM!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
