Your Nut should have given you a "grocery list"...definitely need Vitamins, Protein Drinks, clear liquids...that's about all I could handle...and I was doing good to get all of my fluids in at first.

Toilet wipes. Almost everyone has diarrhea the first few days. Might want to consider powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein. It's the only one I could tolerate the first week after surgery. It has to be ordered online.

Thanks! I will order some. I wasn't sure because it seems very mixed as to whether I will be able to eat anything or not. I don't see my nut until the day before surgery because our schedules conflict.

What do I need on hand for the first week? Vitamins? supplements? Did anyone really eat (post op diet eat) the first week?

A big bottle of chewable tums, adult liquid Tylenol and lots of chicken broth.< /p>

Ditto on the chicken broth. My biggest must have was my heating pad. Worked wonders for me!

Liquid Tylenol, chewable Gas-x (works great for getting gas bubbles to come out. chicken broth, crystal light, Protein Shakes. My NUT allowed yogurt the first week, so plain low sugar yogurt, sugar free popcicles, sugar free fudgecicles, sugar free Jello and pudding. sugar free hard candies (they are nice to suck on when you want to taste something).

Hard candy!!! That sounds like a great idea for any after taste I may incur. I would love to be able to have yogurt as well. Thanks!

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
