I’m going to the store today to stock myself up on everything I’m going to need for after surgery! I thiiink I have everything I need for my pre-op diet. Now I’m going to the store to get:
-SF Jello mix (I found a way to make jello Protein shots)
-SF pudding mix
-Broths
-Apple sauce
-Baby food
-Gas-X
-Miralax
-Docusate
-Crystal light(even though I already have a ton)
-Small spoon and forks(someone suggested this)
I’ve already got:
-Tons of protein powder
-2.5 ounce little cups
-Small plates and bowls
-Popsicle molds
-Vitamins
-Food scale
Anything I’m missing?! I’ve been drowning myself in reading and finding anything I can online to help me be as prepared as I can be! Any advice or tips would be very appreciated!

Milk of magnesia is better in my opinion. It works way faster than Miralax. Get a ice pack in case you have an incision that hurts worse than the others. Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, broth. Plenty of Water.

Anyone try Stur? I love it! No aspartame or sucralose.

only my opinion,
I would use a scale in your first months. After you learn portion sizes, calories/macros, and real food plan, you can rely less on a scale. My fitnesspal or baritastic. Food logging has been eye opening and the best tool to get me to goal and maintaining.
There are bariatric websites for recipes.
Freeze leftovers in small portions for easy quick meals.

Oh 2 ounce plastic cups are helpful for sipping. I got mine from Amazon. My next purchase is 4 ounce as I will be returning to work.

I was sure to have a variety of liquids available. I had Gatorade Zero, Decaf sugar free Iced Tea, Diet Snapple Peach Tea, decaf coffee, and crystal light flavor packets for my Water. I also lived on sugarfree popsicles for a while.

An accurate kitchen scale. I had one I had been using for months and the day before surgery it started acting wonky. Just needed a new battery but it hadn't been on my radar and I had to send my hubs on a battery hunt the day after I got home.

My surgery is the 30th of May and I bought some 1 oz cups with lids so I could make a bunch of Jello and just be able to grab them

And it still doesn't for me, maybe if it's ice cold I can take it, I drink Nestle Splash flavors but my ❤ belongs to strawberry Kiwi Propel, that's the taste for me!

Gatorade zero and Vitamin Water zero. Regular water didn’t taste right to me for several months.

Tiny cups and plates, measuring cups and utensils

Non-caffeinated tea felt gentle to my stomach after I'd been home a few days and was a good change of pace from Water and broth. Also, a nice comfy blanket. I soon found that I was much colder after surgery once the insulation starting falling off! Best of luck to you.

This is a great question. I look forward to hearing some answers. I was thinking I will have some Bone Broth. Did anyone have their spouse/relative make some stock for them?

I have my date and when I start my liquid diet and I’m so excited and I know the basics.. but I was hoping I could get some of your must haves or anything that made post op a little easier or kept you sane. I know there’s broths and sugar free Jello and popsicles.. but I just wanna hear what everyone else had or advice or any good recipes! I’m all ears! I have tons of Protein Powder, Unjury Protein in chicken broth flavor, a bought little 2.5 ounce cups with lids..
