Preparing for surgery



Recommended Posts

My surgeon submitted all paperwork to insurance today, and scheduled surgery for July 19!! Fingers crossed it gets approved.

they did give me a list of Vitamins to buy and Protein shakes/powders but I want to know what other drinks/foods I should rack up on prior to surgery so that I can have everything at home and make it easier for my husband (since he will be taking care of our 2y/o son as well).

I'm stocking up on Decaf tea, sugar free Jello, and broth for the week after surgery until I can have soft food. My surgery is 6/26 and I just had my pre-op class. They said a week of that during the liquid stage.

Best wishes ! My surgery is June 28th.

Good luck on surgery!!! I'm waiting for approval but if it's approved I'll be set for 7/19 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Are you a coffee drinker? Maybe decaf too. I've gotten chicken broths, veggie broths and beef as well.

      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.
