carbgrl 119 Posted April 30, 2012 Get a couple of cans of chicken broth but not to many. I still have tons left. Sf popsicles too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

traceyc 89 Posted April 30, 2012 broth for sure is a must for Clear Liquids. Maybe a couple cans of cream Soups like cream of chicken (you will still have to blend these) for when you start full liquids. Don't buy too much, I way over bought and still have a pantry full of Soup. Milk and V8 were great for me when I could do full liquids too. I also needed SF pudding to take my PPI.

Lyra 43 Posted April 30, 2012 Honestly, I wouldn't break the bank on anything. Before surgery I loved the sf pudding/Popsicles, chicken broth, Protein Drinks, etc. Now after surgery I can't tolerate any of that without feeling sick. Your taste buds will change, so don't be surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topgun 63 Posted April 30, 2012 Buy almost nothing until after surgery. I've got a pantry full of stuff I bought so I would be prepared and then, after surgery, couldn't stand the thought of eating. Just make sure you have Vitamins, a sampling of Protein drinks and maybe a couple of cans of Soup. Then, after surgery, buy what sounds good. Trust me, what sounds good today will make you gag post-op. You're going to be eating so little after surgery you don't need to have a pantry full. The tastiest broths I had after surgery were strained Soups. I'd strain out the chicken and noodles, for example, so I could have the liquid only. Good luck!
