After surgery must haves...

[caligirltt 60]

ok, so I have read about the chicken broth that has Protein in it. And unflavored Protein powder. What are the best kinds? And what else were MUST HAVES after surgery. I need to order stuff, surgery is in 2 weeks!

Thanks!!

I'm still on the liver-shrink pre-op phase, but just used Beneprotrien (unflavored)'today in some crystal light and it was awesome. Smelled a little weird, but put it in a sports bottle with a small opening and it was fine. 25cal and 6g Protein per scoop. I can see it making some puréed foods higher in Protein easily post-surgery.

Following this post so I can read what kind of answers you get!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I am having mine on May 3rd. I got the genpro Protein Powder and I also bought Bluebonnet whey Protein isolate in chocolate flavor. I also got Premiere Protein Shakes. Other things I got are: SF Popsicles, SF Jello, OIKOS Triple Zero yogurts in a lot of flavors, PB2 peanut powder to add to my shakes, 32 and 16 ounce zippy style measured bottles for my Water, baby spoons, a lot of small 1/2 cup containers, cream Soups, chicken and beef broths, GasX strips and Mirilax.

Best of luck on your surgery!

I can honestly say don't overbuy at this point for after surgery. I am 6 days post-op and I have no real appetite at all since surgery. I still eat popsicles, use Protein shakes, but you are not going to have huge hunger or want anything that is too complex. Just a tip. Congratulations on your surgery dates!

That's what I'm looking for they give you this long list of "stuff" kinda like when you have a baby and don't use half of it...so from those who have had surgery...what did you need in the first few weeks. Thanks @@Renkoss

Avoid the temptation of getting too stocked up. First your taste buds may change after surgery and therefore you may dislike it after surgery. Secondly, you meal volume size is so incredibly small, you will not be eating very much.

I'm 5 days post op. No appetite at all. I'd suggest of course Protein powder (make sure you try it before), a few cream Soups, and crystal light. The Soup is nice especially if you were on the pre op diet where everything is sweet.
