Grocery list

[brittersmom 33]

I'm grocery shopping tomorrow for my 2 week preop and 2 weeks post op. any suggestions to help get through this?

Don't stock up on too much of anything because a lot of people have changed taste buds post op. I STILL have broth I bought for my pre op diet

sugar free popsicles, baby food, broth, pea Soup, apple sauce, shakes, skim milk, low cal juice (dilute it), Greek yogurt, kefir, ...geez...don't even remember some of the things. Don't rush anything.

I discovered the lowest sugar and calorie apple juice is mott's for tot's. And I did use a lot of SF Popsicles. A lot of people buy SF Jello (I just can't stand the stuff) I used G2 a lot as well. And flavored water packets.

I also ordered some chicken Soup and vegetable soup from Unjury. Full of Protein and I made Popsicles out of diet sprite to help with nausea. The carbonation goes away in the freezing process and they're much lighter than regular Popsicles. Almost fall apart.

Thank you all for the help. I hear the 2 weeks preop are the hardest lol

I had 4 days of a pre op liquid diet. The few days after surgery were the worst for me because I was just not hungry and didn't want to eat anything. Anesthesia can affect your sense of taste and smell and everything was awful to me. I held my nose to drink anything lol. The pre op just takes will power and cooperation from your loved ones. My fiance was sweet enough to just eat Soup when I had my broth and ate his "real food" at work the hunger wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I was and still am a huge Water drinker. You'll be fine. Will power!!
