I have seen some similar threads here but I figured ide start my own also..... if u could give me a list of what I would bee to stock my fridge with and medicine cabinet with... what would it be. I'm going to have surgery in mid February ( hopefully) and I wanted to start stocking up.

I was given a shopping list in my book. Everyone's surgeons and dietitians are all different. I think your best bet would be to contact the dietitian working with you.

well of course but I'm surer there's plenty of standards... protien shakes.. blenders... Vitamins. just wanted to know what everyone did

i tried a few different Protein Drinks a few weeks before.. made sure I had crystal light, .water,sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, ,liquid multi Vitamin, b-12, Calcium, and bought myself a magic bullet blender for my shakes.Also a few containers of low sodium chicken broth. thats pretty much what I lived on the first two weeks.

I was sleeved on Dec 28th....the Protein shake the dietary department in my hospital provided at mealtime had lactose in it, and I discovered I am now lactose intolerant. I wasn't before my surgery. The RN said this is quite typical. Therefore, I spent a lot of time tracking back & forth to the bathroom. I got very sick. It would be nice if hospitals offered a lactose free nutrition option. If I had known, I would have brought my "Bullet", lactose free milk, and lactose free Protein powder to consume during my hospital stay. Would have made all the difference. Sounds like you most everything else covered. Best of luck!!! It is worth it!

Had my surgery on the 31 December. Saw the doc today he said because I am sleave I need to continue liquids only until I see him on the 22. Dang 2 more weeks but I have lost 25 pounds since surgery.

I could not make it the two weeks of full liquids without bariatric foods. I have a hot choc in morning (15 pro) Soup for lunch ( cream type (15 pep) and a drink like Lemmon razzy or lemonade (15 pro) and then I only have to have one shake or pudding a day. it is only for two weeks so it is worth ordering the food. the cream of chicken and beef bouillon both 15 pro made with less Water will be gravy on my potatoes next stage and poured over meat as gravy later on.
