Surgery in 2 weeks. Should I start buying protein shakes and vitamins now?

[ProudMama 9]

Hello sleevers,

So my surgery is 06/11. I was just wondering if I should start buying some stuff for after? What should I buy? Suggestions? My doctor will give me all of the post-op instructions after i have the surgery but I like to plan a little ahead, thats just me... What do I need to get? Suggestions for shakes? I heard that Isopure unflavored is a safe choice.. ?

You could try different shakes until you find one you really like... But your taste may change after surgery so it's kind of a hit and miss. Get your Vitamins and Soups, but you should be fine to go shopping after for other things

Speaking of changing taste, I was so Gung Ho before surgery and bought tons of Protein powders Soups ans Protein Drinks. Unfortunately for me I drank so few of them, and I cant give this stuff away. Have to totally agree with MsAntiband, I would be prepared but this type of stuff won't disappear from store shelves in the next few weeks.

I would call the Dr's office and get a shopping list together for recommended foods and Vitamins for the first two weeks post op.

I would get just enough Protein powders to take you through a few days because you won't feel like shopping right after surgery. Maybe you can order samples sizes and have them on hand then you can order or buy more of what you like post-op.
