All The Things

Okay so basically I have my consult on Monday at 9:45 AM and have gotten confirmation that all the stuff for financing is set up and after I get my surgery date on Monday then they will send me the last of the paperwork.

 

Aside from that I've been trying to make some "lists" because since I am not going through insurance, my surgery will probably be sometime this month! I need to get everything all together that I need but I feel like I am missing things.

 

So far for my "in general" shopping list, which includes items I'll need pre-op and post-op:

 

- low sodium broth

- baby food

- SF popsicles/fudgsicles

- chewable vitamins

- sublingual B12

- protein powders/shakes

- Gas X strips

- a huge t-shirt for comfort at night

- jello mixes

- "cream of" soups for puree weeks

- ramekins

- stick blender or magic bullet blender

- storage containers for broth etc

- kitchen scale

 

What am I missing???

    After surgery, many of us have a temporary "plain water" intolerance. I bought the individual powder packets of G2 and Powerade Zero so I could do my little sips of clear liquids the first week after surgery. (I was not allowed anything but clears for the first week). G2 has a few more calories than the powerade zero, so it felt like i was getting something good with the electrolytes. I still use the powered even now. (I hate drinking water :P )

    Oh, one more thing..however much you buy...it will be too much. ;) Just sayin'....be prepared for leftovers. I still have a ton of soup cans in my cabinet i will never use. And baby food.

    Carmex or chapstick. Most people need it directly post op.

    Crystal Light is something I heard was useful. I also bought Isopure and am drinking that now during my pre op clear liquid only diet.

    Small pillow to go between your belly and the seat belt for the ride, in case of sudden stops.
