going shopping tomorrow, help me please

[PennyS 0]

ALright, ya'll, I'm going to grocery tomorrow to pick up some things to have on hand after I return from my surgery.

Please tell me some of the Protein things you buy and how they are.

Also I need to know about things for the full liquid phase.

I know I need

1) gas x for after surgery

2) should i buy liquid imodium just in case for the flight home?

3) Heating pad to take to Mexicali

4) a small fan for hospital in case it is too hot for me.. I STAY HOT!!

5) comfy clothes to wear home, robe, slippers, and pj's for hospital

6) reading material..

7)snacks for plane.. OH WAIT I CAN"T HAVE Snacks COMING HOME!!!

8) sugar free Jello and sf jello puddings-- are these full liquid phase?

9) popsicles.. I hope I can do these.. sf of course.. what about fudgsicles? SF?

So far that is all i know to take..

I need to get protein samples from different places.. Where on line can I get samples and whose do ya'll like the best..

easiest protein to get down that is clear is what I would prefer.. I hate Milk, Ice Cream, or anything like that.. so need Proteins that can be mixed in water...

Chicken broth? ? make at home or buy.. IF make at home.. Can i put things in to flavor it, ie: onions, garlic, celery???

I drink a lot of Water everyday and do we have been doing Decaf tea here for a few years, but I always go to sonic for a glass of tea to take to work for me in the am... I guess I'll go to sonic of a glass of their great ice to put my decaf tea in from now on..

How long til we can have caffeine again? I love the tea at sonic.. Yeah i get unsweet.. love love love it...

Thanks.. I'm sure I'll have more questions and will post them as I think of them..

Also I need to know about things for the full liquid phase.

I know I need

1) gas x for after surgery - I've heard this doesn't work and I didn't even bother bringing it - as the gas isn't in your intestines but in your abdominal cavity.

2) should i buy liquid imodium just in case for the flight home?They make chewables, too and yes, I'd buy this just in case. I didn't have any issues until two days after I got home, but some have issues sooner so better safe than sorry.

3) Heating pad to take to Mexicali

4) a small fan for hospital in case it is too hot for me.. I STAY HOT!!They have fans at the hospital should you need one, just ask.

5) comfy clothes to wear home, robe, slippers, and pj's for hospital

6) reading material..

7)Snacks for plane.. OH WAIT I CAN"T HAVE Snacks COMING HOME!!! Funny girl -- you might want to get some packets of SpecialK or Propel to add to Water for your trip home.

8) sugar free Jello and sf Jello puddings-- are these full liquid phase?You can have SF jello on Day 6. SF pudding is a full liquid.

9) popsicles.. I hope I can do these.. sf of course.. what about fudgsicles? SF?I waited to do SF Fudgsicles until the full phase; but startede SF popsicles immediately.

So far that is all i know to take..

I need to get Protein samples from different places.. Where on line can I get samples and whose do ya'll like the best..

I bought samples from Vitalady. I ordered the Syntrax nectar. However, I hear that you can order a sample pkg. directly from Syntrax that is less expensive than ordering from Vitalady.

easiest protein to get down that is clear is what I would prefer.. I hate Milk, Ice Cream, or anything like that.. so need Proteins that can be mixed in water...The Syntrax Nectar can be mixed with Water.< /span>

chicken broth?? make at home or buy.. IF make at home.. Can i put things in to flavor it, ie: onions, garlic, celery???Yes, you just have to drain them out before eating the broth.< /span>

I drink a lot of water everyday and do we have been doing Decaf tea here for a few years, but I always go to sonic for a glass of tea to take to work for me in the am... I guess I'll go to sonic of a glass of their great ice to put my decaf tea in from now on.. I heard you could start back on coffee on day 6 -- I think I started back during the full liquids. So I would think if you're doing decaf you could start back on them during fulls.

How long til we can have caffeine again? I love the tea at sonic.. Yeah i get unsweet.. love love love it...

Thanks.. I'm sure I'll have more questions and will post them as I think of them..

"Someone from LBT posted this information a while back. I found it while surfing their threads. I called it last week and got 10 full serving packets (one of each flavor) for $9.99. Great way to see if you like it at all and which flavor(s) you prefer. The choices are a bit overwhelming. Also, it is one sample pack per person but you can order for different people in the same household."
