I didn’t really need much. I did purchase a long phone charger cord for the hospital on Amazon. Also if you don’t have a blender you may want it for puree phase (depends on if you are the type of person that has consistency issues with food-I do so I couldn’t eat blended food). I did find the disposable cups handy from Amazon that are 2 oz with lids. Made it easier to measure and store food early out. The hospital gave me a stomach binder but some people say that they purchase those online. You will definitely want a few Protein Shakes (a variety) on hand for the full liquid phase but don’t stock up too much cause our tastes change sometimes especially for sweet stuff post surgery.

blender if you don't have one. food scale is very helpful the first few months (I still use mine occasionally, but I used it all the time the first year post-op)

Chapstick of some sort and your hairbrush. My mouth was so dry the first day and night until I could drink something my lips were dry and cracked I was so glad I had my lip balm it made a world of difference that’s for the hospital I would get a food scale and a food processor I also got some 1 cup Pyrex bowls with lids comes in super handy

      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.
