I'm having my surgery April 11 so I plan to go grocery shopping this weekend to prepare for my hospital stay and post op at home any suggestions are welcomed thanks :-)

Directly above this post title is a pinned thread that says "official what you will need for surgery thread" Its the most useful thing in this section.

I found out that I didn't need anything at the hospital other than a change of loose clothes to go home in. At home is the critical list. ABSOLUTELY get Unjury UNFLAVORED Protein to add to your liquids. Everything does taste different after surgery so the Unflavored is great to have on hand. You must also have protein powders so try some and get it in your cupboards. Syntrax Nectars are real good with no after taste. Also, since you will be on liquids get different flavored broths, Jello (which I couldn't stand the sweetness of), SF pudding, and different types of drinks that have no cals, no carbs and some protein. These are just starters and you will add other things as you find what you can and cannot tolerate after surgery. Good luck on your journey!
