Things to buy for Post Surgery

[valiemet 3]

Does anybody have a list of what I should buy for post op? My class is the Sunday before surgery and I don't want to shop last minute

A Blender Bottle, Protein powder, broth/bouillon, sf Jello, sf popsicles, Vitamins, ready-to-drink Protein (clear and full liquid style).

I caution you to not buy too much in the way of protein powders and drinks...my taste changed rapidly post-op and protein that I had liked pre-op quickly became disgusting to me. I barely used any flavored protein, now I only use unflavored (5th month post-op). You'll feel well enough for a trip to a store within a week, so buy the bare minimum until you're through the first few months.

Flushable hygiene wipes...Sold near the toilet paper.

Just trust me on this...they will become your friend.

Like shelterdog said, I advise aganist stocking up on anything (ok maybe the wipes!) Your tastes will change and you'll tolerate a shake one day but not the next. Same with me for liquids. Powerade zero was a big no. G2 was good for a bit. Then Vitamin Water zero. Now crystal lite lemonade and chick fil a diet lemonade. Or flavored black tea when I can get it from the shop at work.

So, in 2 months I went through all of those and I think that's pretty common. Good luck!
