Today marks one month until surgery. I am wanting to use this time to prepare for what I will need during and after surgery. What are the things I should buy now to help during post-op?

Honestly, I lived of flavored Water and Protein drinks. As soon as I could, i was on yogurt and refried Beans. chicken broth to thin everything. I also put split pea and brocolli and cheese Soup in the blender and then warmed them up. I found I could barely stand Protein...except for unjury. I couldn't stand the chicken Soup one. ugh. It still makes me feel ill. Cream of wheat and eggs made me ill. i can now eat eggs.< /p>

My tastes changed so dramatically. The best thing though....I've had head hunger...But I have not actually been hungry since surgery.

I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm sticking up on G2 Gatorade, crystal Light so I can get my fluids in if plain Water isn't agreeing with me. Also sugar free Jello. For my puréed stage, I've got Greek yogurt. Soy milk for Protein Shakes, and a couple Protein powders that I like now (who knows what I'll like after). And water.

I went overboard and bought too much lI ended up going out or sending people for stuff I could stand. Anyone want 36 cups of sugar free jellio?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
