leelee345 9 Posted May 13, 2013 Hey all I am at 3 days to go and more nervous than ever but also very excited!!! I'm mostly scared of making right eating decisions after I've researched & researched & researched but actually having to do it is going to be so much more scary!!!! Would love to hear any tips anyone has on eating post op and the liquid diet & what worked for you!!! 1 Chivon32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliscoastie 9 Posted May 13, 2013 I'm May 16th too. Make sure you have liquids avaiable to you when you get home. I've been told that Water is the most important thing right after surgery. Don't let yourself get dehydrated. I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken soup/protein powder, Atkins shakes and some baby food jars ready for me when I get back home. Best wishes! 1 Chivon32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

browniejan 20 Posted May 14, 2013 Me too on the 16th. I ordered one container of each of the Unjury Protein powders after nutritionist gave me samples to try. I also bought every flavor of unsweetened Jello they had and several flavors for Water, even though I love water. My daughter has helped me so much since she has already been through it 4 years ago. She was sleeved and lost 165 pounds in about 2 years. I really like the unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein Drink because it's one you drink warm. I took one whole cabinet for my drink stuff. When you get to mushy or purreed if you do mashed potatoes use beef or chicken instead of water or milk. adds flavor. Good luck everyone and if we don't talk again before, catch you over the weekend or next week and we can share stories! 1 Chivon32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
