jennmonterrozo 139 Posted June 13, 2016 In haven't had surgery yet so I can't speak from experience but after reading these boards I can tell you NOT to buy anything in excess before surgery. A lot of folks say that their tastebuds changed and things they liked before surgery they no longer like afterwards. Do a search for bone broth. A lot of people swear by making your own and there are recipes on here for it. I've also read to take an extra pillow to the hospital for the ride home...to brace yourself when going over bumps etc. Hope this helps some!

Christinamo7 4,042 Posted June 13, 2016 it's a hard time when you are ready to make the change and it is still a week away! hang in there. what I did was prepare meals ahead for my family to warm up, so I wouldn't need to cook in the first couple of weeks and made sure I had a couple of Protein powders on hand and some Soup that was allowed. but I didn't stock up on things. knowing what I know now I would have bought some Vitamin Water zero, but I didn't know about it then. I had one container of ocean spray diet cran grape, which I enjoyed over ice. I am looking forward to seeing your progress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
