List of Items Needed, POST OP for Success!?



Recommended Posts

Ok, in this forum we have some information on what to bring to the hospital and frequently asked questions. However, my question is a little different.

What supplies or items do I need post-op to be successful?? It can be anything, here I will start...

* medicine cup to put liquid in so I drink slower

* small oyster fork

* smaller plates

* scale for food or measurement tools

* Vitamins - multi-Vitamin, Calcium citrate & D, Biotin, Vitamin E

broth, unsweetened applesauce, cream Soups, eggs, Protein drinks/powders, sugar free Popsicles and Jello, Vitamin Water, Gatorade (G2), and fat free milk are just a few items on my shopping list. And getting my prescriptions filled ahead of time! And a strainer for the cream soups.

4oz. ziploc/tupperware/freezer containers. Portioning out my meals has been a great help to me. I'm typically stocked with a variety of choices, since one recipe makes more than I am used to eating. So I don't tire of any one recipe, I freeze at least half for later use.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
