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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
