I'm having surgery in a couple weeks and wanted to put together a grocery list so I'm prepared when I get home! What was on your list? What did you get that you didn't need? What did you not get that you wish you had?

Thanks!

Pre op I bought beef and chicken broth, herbal teas, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and Isopure for the clear liquid phase. For the full liquid phase I bought Premiere Protein shakes and lastly for the soft food phase I bought greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I kept it really simple not knowing what I would be able to tolerate. I ended up not even touching the herbal tea and SF Jello. I did live on the Outshine brand of popsicles though and still do for sweet cravings.

My friend who had wls in November just shipped me all of her "leftovers" for my upcoming surgery. She swore by unflavored and chicken Soup flavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, liquid Vitamins, gas-x strips, stool softener, sugar free drink mixes (crystal light and some Protein ones).

She also swore by oikos triple zero Greek yogurt and the premier Protein shakes. I've been watching prices on those at SAMs and costco, and saw the EAS AdvantEdge shakes were on sale and cheaper but she said they had such a bad aftertaste she has to toss them.

I also splurged on a yeti rambler to help get my Water in. I'm a chugger now which won't work post-op and the lid on the yeti slows me down quite a bit but still keeps my drink chilled while I nurse it.

What does your plan have you on for the first few weeks? Are you on Clear Liquids only, or just liquids. I would get some broths, gatorade, sugar free popcicles, Jello, some crystal light. And of course your Protein Shakes

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
